THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Yeah, it’s true that neither Obama nor Biden released the Epstein files. They also didn’t sign a law requiring their release and then evade it.

Journalist covering the trump admin🔔 Do you have any practices to feel more comfortable when leaving and re-entering the country?

I can’t quite get over the fact that, despite this divestiture bullshit fucking with our Tiktok videos every couple weeks, China still has our data and Congress isn’t even trying to figure out what *actually* changed and what *at all* was solved?

-Trump Airlines -Trump Beverages -Trump Casinos -Trump Magazine -Trump Mortgage -Trump Steaks -Trump's Travel Site -Trumpnet -Trump Tower Tampa -Trump University -Trump Vodka -Trump Fragrances -Trump Mattress -Trump's Board of Peace -Trump's Shield of the Americas The grift keeps on grifting.

NEW: “Abolish ICE” officially has a higher approval rating than Donald Trump’s presidency.

Don’t trust anybody who unironically calls it the “Department of War.”

A predictable result of plucking Pentagon officials from r/redpill

Trump in August 2025: “so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections?” Trump 8 months before the midterms: Iran rigged US elections against me so let’s do war

"He cannot use a phone. He doesn’t know his address, he doesn’t know phone numbers, he can’t communicate, he can’t see. And they just left him.”

Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Sorry but the craziest and worst regime in the world is North Korea and they have nuclear weapons and Donald Trump wrote what he described as love letters to its dictator.

From @status.news this morning. "Trump, who has despised CNN more than any other institution throughout his political career, wants to neuter the network. He wants to break it."

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Everyone say congratulations to Luna! Last day of radiation 😭🥹 such a tough little baby

Hillary Clinton: "It then got quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and Pizzagate"

Well this is horrible news

Not rocks or bottles!

Oh but criticizing ICE is un-American

I can’t imagine teaching general US politics to children these days… what happens when you get to the Checks & Balances chapter and one kid raises their hand to ask about “but isn’t the president the chief law enforcement officer?”

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

How are we possibly supposed to cover everything happening right now? I’ve only got ten fingers guys slow down!

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Trump stole his gaslighting campaign straight from Charlie Sheen’s drug-induced delusions of grandeur and forgot that nobody believed him either.

Trump’s face movements always remind me of the cognitive decline I see in my grandparents. I love them dearly, but if they run for anything — office or to grab their car keys, don’t let them.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

So satisfying that Andrew Lloyd Weber hates him bad.

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Great story :"cybercrime networks disrupted during Serengeti 2.0 were linked to nearly $485 million in financial losses from 88,000 victims "

9-yr-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya from Colombia who’s been in ICE detention for 113 days: "Me in dilei [Dilley] am not happy please get me out of here to colombia." This is not a mass deportation campaign. It’s a mass private prison detention campaign. The jig is up. (Pro Publica)

Completely spilled half of my latte on my Macbook Pro within seconds of opening it this morning. Everything seems fine… for now… but it’s been in “tent position” for the last two hours. Any pointers?

The concept of “when you log off to engage with the people around you, the world isn’t as bad as you think” is obnoxious because, while there’s nothing wrong with touching grass, just because your patch of grass is still green, that doesn’t mean the lawn hasn’t died everywhere else.

“Not trying to deny people their civil rights or due process.” - Tom Homan. Weird. This guy hasn’t seen his brother since Monday, when he was assaulted by ICE agents who presumably tracked him down via public court filings and appeared at his hearing.

Off-topic, but remember this?

HASSAN: You said you don't want to comment on these ongoing investigations because you don't want to bias them. So did Noem and Stephen Miller bias the investigation when they called Pretti a domestic terrorist? LYONS: I don't want to comment. That's their comments H: That doesn't make any sense

Hassan to Lyons: "I would hope I get the same treatment that Sen. Wicker got, which is to say the town doesn't want the detention center, so please cancel it. And I would expect that my partisan affiliation shouldn't make any difference to that determination."

There it is: one of the first times anyone in the Trump admin has admitted that protestors & bystanders are legally permitted to protest & document DHS activity.... Just two days ago, this same crowd spent hours claiming DHS agents have been "under attack" in MSP & beyond...

Steve Cohen just said to Pam Bondi: “Renee Nicole Good was executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog.”

Pam Bondi (the only individual screaming Ad Hominem attacks) when responding to a simple & quantitative question from a democrat: “This is NOT a CIRCUS.” “YOU were the one who ____.” “I’m not playing your little GAME.” “Theatrics!” “I’m not getting in the GUTTER with YOU!”

Bondi was just asked how many witnesses/suspects the DOJ is investigating, after releasing witnesses names & redacting perpetrators in the Epstein Files. Bondi: “Have any of yew apologized to president trump for trying to impeach him?!” “We should be focused on all the great work [he] has done.”

Every time Bondi opens her mouth to respond in this hearing it gets real MTV real fast… she just shouted at an elected official: “you WASHED UP la- well you’re not *even* a lawyer.” *smirk*

The mental gymnastics you have to do to get to blaming democratic leadership for the murders of Alex Pretti & Renee Good… But the Chair of the House Judiciary just went there, so…

It’s pretty wild hearing sitting lawmakers spew conspiracy theories & debunked Fox News talking points in Congress

Operation Serengeti 2.0 dismantled thousands of scam networks across 18 African countries, signaling both the industrial scale of cybercrime on the continent and the rise of coordinated enforcement, writes @theravennareport.com
