The FBI Faked an Entire Field of Forensic Science For more stories like this, like Slate on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Exclusive: CIA carried out drone strike on port facility on Venezuelan coast | CNN Politics The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility on the coast of Venezuela, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that...

So the President did disclose a CIA drone strike inside Venezuela.

This is an important exchange. @emmavigeland.bsky.social is right - the government already redistributes wealth from the bottom to the top. Scott Jennings and the billionaires Republicans fight for hope we don’t understand that, and attack any attempt to reverse it as “socialism”

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Julie K. Brown questioning why her American Airlines flight booking information from July 2019 appears in Epstein-related DOJ files. Below the text is an image of partially redacted government documents showing flight and personal data tables.

Bill Barr had the reporter who broke the Epstein story surveilled. Nothing to see here, folks.

Small businesses helped build Musk’s empire. Their unpaid bills add up to millions | CNN Small businesses have filed liens for more than $110 million against Tesla alone in the last five years, with more than $24 million still allegedly owed to dozens of businesses, a CNN analysis found.

So, the Japanese just loaned us a bunch of money and that’s a trade deal?

We all hate insider trading. We all hate gerrymandering. If the United States was truly a representative democracy, there would have been laws against both a long time ago.

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

Keep getting on Bluesky and sharing.

This app and other social media are powerful communication tools that organizers could only have dreamt of just 20 years ago!

How did we get here 😐

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”

"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

Bass: We finally have some good news.

We got a great decision from the court—a temporary restraining order.

I think this showed that if we fight back peacefully, if we use the means our democracy provides, and in this instance, the courts—we get a proper decision.
