Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

There is no way that "278,000 noncitizens" are voting in US elections, as Trump claims in his speech. Its just not physically possible, as WIRED and other outlets have consistently reported. This is a scare tactic, and it's working. And the repercussions are endless:

Among the documents released by the White House tonight is this claim that Colorado's voter registration rolls were "compromised" by China. Colorado's voter registration rolls are public records. You can order a copy here: www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/electio...

Ahead of Trump’s speech tonight, re-upping a piece I wrote in 2024 unpacking the myth of noncitizen voting, using the Heritage Foundation’s own data to show how extraordinarily rare it has proven to be over decades. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/myths-a...

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

don’t worry we have the receipts

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

A CNN investigation found that President Donald Trump has promoted more than 20 companies on his Truth Social account days after buying stock in those firms – at times announcing government actions that could benefit the companies he just invested in. https://cnn.it/44tiGit

Don’t take the bait. Whether ICE planted drugs or there were drugs DOES NOT MATTER. It’s irrelevant to the murder. Feds want us to debate drugs in a story that’s about murder. Stay focused on the murder. It’s not about the victim’s virtue or lack thereof. It’s about ICE murdering people.

ICE actually took a step to reduce the likelihood officers kill someone—not enough, doesn’t address other problems, but a step in the right direction—and Trump intervened to reverse it. Killing innocent people isn’t a problem the White House seeks to avoid, it’s apparently a goal of their policy.

Epstein survivor: We urge Senators Tillis and Cornyn to vote no on Todd Blanche’s nomination.

Laiss was sentenced today to 6 months under house arrest, and three years of probation, for voting twice for Trump in 2020. Laiss did not plead guilt and this case went to a jury; DOJ sought 3-6 months imprisonment so he'd be ineligible to vote in November. www.inquirer.com/politics/vot... 1/2

england score within 15 minutes, sit back, lose 2-1 with an 87th minute goal is a very credible scenario

People have studied this for decades, and the findings are pretty consistent: Immigration is unrelated or even negatively related to crime and cities w/lots of immigrants are likely safer than yours. From Robert Sampson, The Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect (2012).

Most corrupt administration in American history!

Attys for Reflecting Pool defendant David Hearn say govt witness told govt that photos Hearn took showing damaged liner (published in WaPo, e.g.) were taken *before* he touched the water—drawing into question how he could’ve damaged it. … 1/3

NEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

Who doesn't love a bit of gossip?

Journalists: please, please get ready for this in ADVANCE. We know Trump's going to claim "new evidence shows the 2020 election was stolen". You've got 3 days to write a story that confronts that lie head-on before he says it - pre-write this like an obit. America is begging you: plan ahead. 1/

I see DHS has given up even trying to say that they shot in self-defence. "fearing for public safety"? What, was he wearing a suicide bomb vest? What fears for public safety were there here beyond not wanting him to get away?

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

Every single person in Maine and everyone around the country with a sense of humanity and decency need to remember this today. mainebeacon.com/collins-vote...

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Not just science grants either — would affect every federal grantee. Arts & culture, history & humanities, health services, community programming, education and jobs training, housing support

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

Trump is saying the 2016 election (when Obama was president) was fair, and the 2024 election (when Biden was president) was also fair, but the 2020 election (when some guy named Trump was president) was a piece of crap.

Good morning. Today is the LAST DAY to comment on the proposed OMB rule that will, honestly, destroy science in the US. And it will do FAR MORE THAN THAT. www.theverge.com/science/9576...

SOUND ON.

Are Senate Republicans really going to confirm Todd Blanche when he just got referred for sanctions for his crooked January 6 slush fund? Really??? “Williams referred a ​Trump lawyer in the case and senior ​Justice Department officials who signed off on the settlement ‌to ⁠state bar authorities...”

In a sane world the findings here would be enough for a unanimous impeachment and conviction: the President attempted to steal nearly 2B from the US

Reminder there is no evidence that any initial statements by ICE or DHS should be trusted — and reporters should state that in all coverage and stories. Every ICE shooting we’ve seen the agency lie about the circumstances.

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

He somehow didn’t get pictured on the soundtrack cover, but The Dish is almost certainly the best Sam Neill movie you’ve never even heard of. Watch it.

Hunter Biden paving a righteous legacy for literally everybody, even if they don't deserve it. Admit you are a flawed human, and you can become an honest to goodness warrior savior of kindness. I believe in the America that comes after Trump.

By the way, McMaster, who now gets to appoint someone to the US senate to serve until Jan. 3, 2027, was a member of a whites-only country club that didn’t desegregate until 2020 wach.com/news/local/p...

“….and I had told him previously not to bring his ass ‘round here again”

Wow. Even @foundbandnames.bsky.social is subtweeting Lindsey Graham’s death.

If Jared Kushner paid €110m to buy an island in Albania that has no fresh water from a guy who did not own it, it would help explain why his negotiations with Iran on behalf of the US have not been entirely successful

Has anybody asked the Scottish fans whether they’re rooting for the Vikings or the English?

Saying universities have to allow AI because people are using it anyway is identical to demanding that mainstream TV stations show hardcore pornography. Like, yes, you can certainly make that argument. But only an absolute fool would see this response as the only viable course of action.

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

Do it. Think of writing a comment to OMB like writing an incredibly powerful post that gets liked by your nemesis.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims.
