I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

NEW: Nike says its factory workers should earn enough to pay their basic needs and have some money left over.
In Indonesia, its factory workforce has shrunk where the minimum wage is considered enough to live on.
And it has grown, dramatically, where the opposite is true.
New map! @propublica.org and The Oregonian found that Nike is moving jobs away from high-wage areas near Jakarta, opting for regions in Central & West Java where minimum wage is not enough to live on. It's part of our ongoing reporting on Nike's supply chain. www.propublica.org/article/nike...

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action.
After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing.

Re-upping this chart from @propublica.org in April 2025, since measles is surging back into the news.
The University of Arkansas's law school just withdrew the appointment of its new dean six days after hiring her because conservative politicians complained that she filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of transgender students

From our story:
"The Starship fragments appeared to be higher than the plane, many miles off. But before long, the pilot announced “I’m sorry to report that we have to turn around because we’re too close to the debris,” Siler said.
You'd want to really trust that the debris zone is accurate & your plane is getting out of it fast enough. We've got audio of a pilot specifically saying he's crossing into the debris zone because he's running out of fuel. Worth reading the story! www.propublica.org/article/spac...
In May, the FAA closed a large swath of airspace in the Caribbean ahead of another SpaceX Starship launch. We analyzed flight data from the previous day (at same time) to see how many flights could have been affected by delays/cancellations. www.propublica.org/article/spac...
We identified the flight path of the plane where this video was taken after a March 2025 SpaceX starship launch. The plane turned sharply to exit the debris zone. (video courtesy of Dane Siler and Mariah Davenport) www.propublica.org/article/spac...

NEW for @propublica.org: We analyzed flight data to see how passenger planes were affected by SpaceX's starship explosions. We identified 21 planes that appeared to make sudden turns to exit the debris zone in the minutes after the explosion. www.propublica.org/article/spac...
