The Justice Department’s decision to sideline two US attorneys and remove mentions of Donald Trump and the US Capitol attack from court papers before the sentencing of a pardoned January 6 rioter is being viewed by former and current career prosecutors as an alarming whitewashing of history.

Tech companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on AI with little to show, and are now turning to complex financial vehicles to sustain their spending. Matteo Wong and Charlie Warzel on how it could all come crashing down:

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

It is all ONE BIG SCAM!!!

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants. It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

Trump told U.S. service members stationed in Japan that he was prepared to send “more than the National Guard” into American cities to enforce his crackdown on “crime and immigration,” signaling a sharp escalation in his willingness to use the military against U.S. citizens.

So far, Senate Democrats have remained strong and (nearly) unified in opposition to the GOP’s healthcare-crushing budget deal. We must keep reminding Dems we’re behind them as they fight for affordable care. Urge your Democratic senators to continue standing strong in the Trump Shutdown showdown. 👇

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Thread: As a cattle producer, a farmer, and a veteran I don’t need reality TV economics from a guy who’s never mucked a stall or spent a night checking calves in freezing rain.

Trump bought the Argentina election by threatening to withhold U.S. funds unless his preferred candidate won. We can’t let the same playbook unfold here next week. Trump and his administration have already been making threats about the upcoming U.S. elections, and the warning signs are clear.

russia attacks children – russia has no moral boundaries, emphasized Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Brussels summit, citing russia's recent attack of a kindergarten in Kharkiv. 3 strike drones hit the building while 48 children were inside. russia is utterly depraved.

Chicago homeowner rips 'FRIGHTENING' immigration raid targeting workers on PRIVATE PROPERTY MSNBC exclusively obtained security footage of federal agents targeting construction workers at a home in Lakeview, Chicago. Leo Feler, the property owner, joined @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social to discuss.

Look at the facts: the president leads through fear. He is trying to normalize the use of the military in our cities. He is attacking the core of our democratic institutions: free speech and elections. And all the while, he is taking away healthcare and adding regressive taxes, tariffs.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

"One detained woman, identified as Marie, said officials did not believe her when she informed them of her pregnancy, and held her in solitary confinement for at least three days." No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

We were just notified that cell-site simulators were used during the No Kings protests in several cities. Fortunately, we planned for this. Portland, Houston, Philadelphia, and Chicago were among the targeted locations. If you’re attending protests, please remember to follow protocol.

Love him or hate him, he understands the way the game is played now and he's playing it better than anyone else. Call ‘em out Newsom!!

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Organizing still works — Avelo Airlines is feeling the heat for profiting off Trump’s terror tactics by running secretive (often illegal) deportation flights. You can take action to help ground “ICE Air”: www.groundavelo.org?utm_source=b...

Federal inflation data was postponed for the first time in years as a government shutdown delayed economic reports.

Karoline Leavitt’s 2022 campaign is giving deadbeat energy. Still owes more than $326,000—yes, even after all this time—including over $210,000 in refunds for illegal donations that broke federal limits. Turns out “law and order” stops when the bill shows up. www.notus.org/money/karoli...

Via @kqednews.kqed.org In an interview with KQED, Newsom said Trump wants to cast doubt on the Nov. 4 vote. The Department of Justice says it's sending monitors to protect the votes of "eligible American citizens."

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

#MTG and fellow Republicans are directly responsible for “The Big Beautiful Bill”. Effectively crippling affordable healthcare. They continue to support this administration who is taking advantage of the most vulnerable Americans. Republicans grow a backbone and represent your constituents!!

The proof that our money speaks volumes is the fact that Elon is MIA!When corporations take advantage of the American people and openly financially support this administration that purposely targets the most vulnerable of us it’s time to act!!

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary. It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability. We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Ah yes, Fox. It's the media that's focusing on the East Wing amid the shutdown. Not the guy who decided to bulldoze the East Wing during the shutdown.

I imagine this will unfortunately be a pattern with protection and advocacy agencies' who primarily receive funding from the federal government. This is bad. www.thv11.com/article/news...
