BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.

It’s been about 90 minutes since the news broke, and we already have all this information about Kyle Tucker’s business.

We should have this same level of information about every team’s paper, too.

It would change everything.

Live Updates: Newly Released Records Detail Chaos During Fatal ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

The network’s top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story on an editorial call Wednesday morning, according to staffers who listened. “There was big internal dissension about the ‘internal bleeding’ report here last night,” the CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said . “It was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who’d carry it online.” “Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin’s justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources,” said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment. In a statement, a CBS News sp

“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

SCOOP w/ @dell.bsky.social: the FBI is warning law enforcement to look out for people impersonating ICE to facilitate other criminal acts

Plus, some odd details I got via FOIA about a March incident in which an aspiring prank YouTuber allegedly impersonated ICE:

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Israeli military begins ground invasion of Gaza City Palestinians in Gaza City reported a night of heavy bombardment. A U.N. commission said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza; Israel rejected it as “falsehoods.”

The Israeli military launched the early stages of a ground offensive to seize Gaza City overnight, an Israeli military official said Tuesday, as Palestinians in the enclave said they faced a night of relentless heavy bombardment.

Burying the Bruises The White House insists Donald Trump’s visible bruises are nothing, but medical experts say the explanation doesn’t hold up. Why are the country’s biggest newsrooms silent?

"The visible health problems of the oldest president in American history barely registered in mainstream coverage," writes @passantino.bsky.social for Status_.

But @nytimes.com 🐔, @wsj.com 🐔🐔 & other major outlets published dozens of stories about Biden's physical fitness while he was in office.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment.

The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order.

Another household kept alive by American aid was that of Jennifer Inyaa, a 35-year-old single mom, and her 5-year-old son, Evan Anzoo, both of them H.I.V.-positive. Last month, after the aid shutdown, Inyaa became sick and died, and a week later Evan died as well, according to David Iraa Simon, a community health worker who assisted them. Decisions by billionaires in Washington quickly cost the lives of a mother and her son. "Many more children will die in the coming weeks," said Margret Amjuma, a health worker who confirmed the deaths of Peter and Achol.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
