This should be at the top of all media right now. THIS is the immigrant who should be the nightmare of those worried about immigrants and drugs.

The NYT occupies a hub in our information environment. Its editors choices for headlines and framing have disproportionate impact. Our analysis: bsky.app/profile/medi...

A🧵 This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds. The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful. THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die. 1/n

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Texas Young Republicans are calling upon TX lawmakers to pass a law allowing Governor Abbott to put blue TX cities into receivership. They say the State Leadership Initiative (SLI)—co-founded by Nate Fischer of New Founding — suggested the idea. New Founding partner Nathan Halberstadt loves it. 1/

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?

Get serious, Europeans. You are your only hope.

And an excellent take on this by my favorite narcissism expert on TikTok:

"Even if the plan falls apart, this arrogant and confusing ultimatum, coming only days after the State Department authorized the sale of anti-missile technology to Ukraine, will do permanent damage to America’s reputation as a reliable ally, not only in Europe but around the world."

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

I saw the pick this week but just ignored .. This mess.

Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

Thai Police have arrested a suspected Russian hacker who is wanted by the FBI for alleged cyberattacks on U.S. and European government agencies. n.pr/4rs0DU6

Ukraine is not, and never has been, a model of clean governance. That is not why the West has spent some $400bn—and counting—to help defend it. Were Western support to falter, the only winner would be Vladimir Putin

Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold $75M From Pennsylvania Over Immigrant Truck Drivers | Gov. Josh Shapiro's administration said the federal government didn't identify a single commercial driver’s license issued to someone who wasn't eligible.

Having a federal judge formally declare that you brazenly and knowingly lied under oath about your official conduct would usually be huge trouble for a federal employee in a public trust / security clearance position

Included in the government funding bill is a measure that would allow senators to sue the government or damages over the records’ seizures. @michael-feinberg.bsky.social and @nkorpett.bsky.social explain what this new measure would mean in practice and how it could thwart important investigations.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Critics of Ukraine in the West will seize on the scandal as proof that the country is irredeemably corrupt and unworthy of support. That is a grave misreading of its real significance

This isn’t a matter of experts disagreeing. Kennedy is using our public health agencies to essentially boost anti-vax groups like the one he founded that continues to promote him and his family—and will likely welcome him back when his time in government is done, paying him big money.

This is really awful. The CDC’s page stating vaccines do not cause autism (reality) has been zombified as a platform for conspiracy theories saying they do. Such a crime to dissuade parents from these safe vaccines and bamboozle parents of kids with autism on the causes www.wsj.com/health/healt...

The plan, drafted without Ukraine’s knowledge by Donald Trump’s special representative, Steve Witkoff, and Vladimir Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, checks off many of the maximalist demands familiar from earlier Russian proposals, and adds a few more

To be clear: the updated statements are *complete shameless lies, no exceptions.* Vaccines *do not cause autism.* This is backed up by *overwhelming* evidence. The CDC is actively lying directly to the American people. Any journalist who doesn't lead with a demand for adv explanation needs to quit.

Senator Bill Cassidy is chair of the committee on health. He can remove RFK Jr & restore cancer funding. Bill Cassidy, M.D. 455 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Be kind & make sure he knows America want mRNA cancer vaccines, not RFK Jr's snake oil.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

I really hate when someone sucks up to Trump for help on the one issue they care about, while paying exactly zero attention to the broader systemic damage he is doing.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

To security services, it makes sense to view every visitor from Russia as a potential spy, saboteur or propagandist. Ending multiple-entry visas is a way to ensure vetting happens before each visit

The White House shutdown of Voice Of America has opened the door to propaganda by Russian and Chinese influencers in countries from Africa to Asia. www.press.org/newsroom/voa... #SaveVOA

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal. Here we go.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🚨🚨🚨

Professor Balakrishnan Rajagopal, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, described the scale and intensity of destruction, mass displacement of residents and deaths of civilians as “one of the most flagrant violations of international law”.
