Rare to see someone explain as explicitly as Bongino did that his media role is feeding slop to the piggies, but then Fox is in the piggie-feeding business. www.mediamatters.org/dan-bongino/...

NEW: An immigration court has terminated removal proceedings against Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that DHS did not meet its burden of establishing that she was removable, her lawyers tell the Second Circuit. live-awp-vermont.pantheonsite.io/app/uploads/...

“No matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”

Did you know that the legendary historian Samuel Eliot Morrison received a commission from FDR to join the WWII Navy & write its history from the inside, & that he narrowly escaped a kamikaze pilot among other episodes? That & more in today’s Valentine’s blog post! @hcrichardson.bsky.social 🗃️

New: Binance holds 87% of the Trump family's stablecoin—$4.7 billion—a higher concentration than any other major stablecoin has at any single exchange. Its U.S. affiliate holds $1,119. me, for @forbes.com

JUST IN: DOJ is trying to help Steve Bannon erase his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. Motion has no career prosecutor on it, just signed by US Attorney Pirro. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hassett: "There's a pretty big decline in the labor force because of illegals leaving the country, so the break even job number is quite a bit lower than it was under Joe Biden. So you should expect slightly smaller job numbers."

I have this personal theory that history’s going to look back on Dr. Acton crushing Vivek as the moment when “being a rich man who shit-posts on X” stopped being the key qualification for GOP leaders it’s become in the Trump era

They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

After giving Argentina $60 bn to bail out its wannabe dictator, Trump has now ordered the purchase of $1 bn in Argentine beef to flood US markets with less expensive meat. A disaster for US cattlemen. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-b...

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

If the US did what the French are doing right now, the effects on Twitter and Facebook would be enormous.

OK, but Trump was president when the 2020 election happened, so isn't the notion that Venezuela interfered an indictment of his national security apparatus?

We're kicking off the centennial celebration of historic Route 66, Illinois. With the help of local tourism bureaus across the state, we're recognizing the Mother Road that has profoundly shaped Illinois' culture and communities.

Sen. Ron Wyden is “following the money” trail on Epstein. This is one of the most informative interviews I’ve ever watched by Professor Richardson. Rated “Wow!” @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/FMmhGzZ...

Today with @wyden.senate.gov and @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/FMmhGzZ...

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein. Now we learned that they were in business together. He has no business being our Commerce Secretary. He should resign. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

About to interview @wyden.senate.gov on my YouTube channel and Facebook page. 2:30 Eastern time.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

Footage taken from inside Trump’s Super Bowl party at his Mar-a-Lago golf club showed the president and his guests watching Bad Bunny’s halftime show rather than TPUSA’s night of Jesus Christ, Kid Rock, and country music. trib.al/ivGSXQ3

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

Americans deserve law enforcement that goes after violent criminals. Instead, ICE is murdering U.S. citizens & making our streets less safe.

If this doesn't disqualify Stacy Garrity from ever getting near the PA Governor's seat, I don't know what does. Garrity intends to hand PA elections over to Trump. Not no but hell no, ma'am. lancasteronline.com/news/politic...

Sen. Collins' seat is crucial for Republican Senate majority. Morning Consult poll: Sen. Collins is the 2nd most unpopular US senator: 54% disapprove of her performance, 41% approve.“ICE’s impact on Maine has been devastating,” Portland organizer. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"

does not inspire confidence

I joined @arusbridger.bsky.social and @lionelbarber.bsky.social to discuss my work and the work of Bellingcat, why I don't like Seymour Hersh, and getting verified information out quickly on the ICE shootings. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/med...

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket. Me in today’s “One First”:

MAGA complaining that they didn't understand Bad Bunny's performance has nothing to do with a language barrier. It has EVERYTHING to do with a HUMANITY barrier.

Posting again.

So we're clear (because the press is apparently incapable) this is a fake competition investigation designed to help local right wing propaganda broadcasters consolidate and increase their power over whatever's left of local U.S. news

He obviously knows the jobs report this week is going to be terrible. But Haslett says not to worry because a tiny handful of people are concentrating more wealth than at any point in human history and we should all be happy for them. bsky.app/profile/atru...

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028. And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

• A doc sued for prescribing a debunked autism therapy • A man who says vaccines are “poisoning children” • A woman boosting autism "treatments" using stem cells from rabbits This is not a QAnon conference line-up, it is the people now guiding US autism research www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...
