20% PACER fee increase is criminal WHEN IT SHOULD BE FREE

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

You rarely see a perfect headline in the wild like this

Our analysis shows that the measles virus seen in Utah as recently as May is very closely related to one that circulated in Texas a year ago. Given our findings, one expert said it’s going to be difficult for the U.S. to prove measles isn’t endemic: https://propub.li/3QAKxK1

Imagine if France said they'd help the US with urgently needed medical aid and relief after a disaster, but only if we turned over sensitive medical data for millions of Americans. That's what Trump's State Dept. is doing across Africa. By @fastlerner.bsky.social @annamaria.bsky.social

In Mississippi, lawyers on both sides of a court case were caught using AI, essentially two LLMs arguing against each other. The judge dismissed all lawyers from the case and canceled the trial: www.404media.co/judge-learns...

In public health, you learn an awful lot about people willing to profit off of harms to children. But my jaw is on the floor. It never occurred to me that the sentence “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital” would ever be followed by the phrase: “But here’s the thing.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

NEW: Donald Trump Jr. invests in a co. trying to build an oil refinery in the U.S. Then the richest man in Asia invests... in the same company. Then... his co. gets policy concessions from the Trump Admin. @josh-kaplan.bsky.social & @justinelliott.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

George Santos: 1. Posted a video the day before Trump's State of the Union saying he was going to be there 2. Bet on Kalshi that he would not attend the SOTU 3. Did not attend the SOTU www.npr.org/2026/06/02/n...

Here was DHS’s statement at the time.

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

this little border is such a dead claude giveaway and I see it everywhere now.

according to the spacex filings, their valuation is justified entirely by grok, which will be 90% of enterprise ai, and ai will be 90% of the us economy

I am late to this but the google docs icon becoming nearly indistinguishable from the calendar icon is wreaking havoc on my tab situation

In 2023, we found dozens of doctors were making millions of dollars performing risky – and possibly unnecessary – vascular procedures on patients. Earlier this month, a government watchdog broadly confirmed our findings, recommending CMS take action. www.propublica.org/article/vasc...

Something kinda neat I've been working on: I used Claude over the past month to iterate on an app to generate halftones and color separated images for screen printing. It works pretty well, and it's helping me make real live prints! github.com/schwanksta/H...

You can tell that the audience for this is, like, Mamdani obsessives who do not live in or near NYC bc everyone here knows $700 is like the least you could hope to possibly pay to get into a Knicks eastern conference finals game at the Garden and he’s in TERRIBLE seats nypost.com/2026/05/22/u...

/7 This encapsulates how Trumpism and Trumpist prosecutors have destroyed, probably for a generation at least, the reputation of DoJ and federal prosecutors.

As the senator isolates himself from the Democratic Party and his staff, a little-known writer has become one of Fetterman’s closest confidants and a key adviser on Israel.

Unanimous verdict from the jury: All three claims brought by Musk are barred by statute of limitations. Elon Musk loses.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

Kash Patel went snorkeling around the sunken hull of the USS Arizona, a battleship that still houses the remains of over 900 Americans killed during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Not even the families of those killed are allowed to do what he did. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

New from PP: You know those 'Kavanaugh stops,' where justice allowed racial profiling but said they'd be no big deal? Well, ICE agents have now stopped and held this American *3 times* Earlier this month, they *shackled him* He's thinking of moving to Mexico www.propublica.org/article/immi...

btw, regulators confirmed to us this morning that the 19 new turbines (and the 27 already on site) are not part of an air permit granted in March, meaning xAI has more than 1 GW of unpermitted gas power at Colossus 2 right now

I've been watching these terrible Washington Post podcast clips on YouTube, and dear god, this is bleak. Also, the view counts are just... how are they so low?

Say what you will about tabloiding, it is usually pretty good about cutting right to the quick of the nail

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Mike Collins, a congressman from Georgia, wants to take away commercial driver’s licenses from noncitizens. Over the past 25 years, truckers for his businesses have been involved in crashes that killed five people and injured more than 50 people. @maxblau.bsky.social @joeljacobs.bsky.social

In the paradoxical standard set forward by the Supreme Court, the only way to tell if districts were drawn for racism is if the people drawing them say so. But if the districts are drawn so that Black voters in the South get almost no representatives, that's not racism.

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.
