Somehow this is worse than stealing a foul ball from a child.

In January, we went inside the Dilley detention center. Children shared letters describing the anguish of being ripped from their lives: propub.li/4cUHm8L

After publishing that story, we learned about Edison, a 13-year-old from Chicago detained for 2+ months. Listen to Edison in his own words 👇

Independent photographer among 30 more arrested, charged in connection with Minnesota ICE protest following Lemon and Fort cases - Committee to Protect Journalists Washington, D.C., March 2, 2026—The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) calls on the Department of Justice to drop all charges against independent photographer Shane Ryan Bollman, known professiona...

“Using federal agents to arrest a journalist weaponizes taxpayer dollars to deter reporting, which directly impacts their rights to information. The charges against Bollmann must be dropped immediately and his electronic devices returned.”

Can we skip ahead to the “Mr. Beast Asks For Your Forgiveness” comeback article?

U.S. citizens Leo Venegas, Javier Ramírez & Marimar Martínez are asked to stand while Sen. Blumenthal asks Noem if she’s met the citizens detained by DHS. She didn’t answer. Blumenthal says she can meet these 3

I wrote about all 3 in this @propublica.org story www.propublica.org/article/immi...

I’m in Senate Judiciary today, where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is expected to answer oversight questions related to immigration enforcement tactics, the arrests of U.S. citizens, children in detention centers, terrorism threats + more

Israel said its military had seized areas of southern Lebanon on Tuesday as part of its escalating conflict with Hezbollah, as the Iran-backed armed group fired vorleys of drones at the country in a second day of fighting. Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, said Israeli forces had been ordered to advance and take control of additional strategic locations in Lebanon to prevent attacks on Israeli border communities.

Just a little invasion.

Promoting rural broadband by putting the phrase "rural broadband" on a poster.

I love that "promotes xyz" is the get out of jail free way of lying about your product or company, whether it's a useless supplement or a telecom titan.

I know it's just a rebranding of the SAG Awards, but the "Actor Awards" just sounds like a fundraising event thrown by the Human Fund.

Paramount President Jeff Shell Absent From WBD Merger Call With Wall Street Analysts Amid Legal Probe Paramount President Jeff Shell did not join Monday's conference call to discuss the company's merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.

Paramount President Jeff Shell was fired by Comcast in 2023 over sexual harassment allegations. Now he's facing a lawsuit over insider trading related to recent Paramount deals (like their $7.7 billion deal to exclusive MMA broadcast rights).

really a wonderful collection of human beings

ProPublica Sues Education Department for Withholding Records About Discrimination in Schools Under Secretary Linda McMahon, the work of the Office for Civil Rights, which aims to protect students from discrimination, is cloaked in secrecy.

Trump's Dept. of Education is withholding public records about how it’s enforcing (or not enforcing) civil rights protections for millions of American students, a new @propublica.org lawsuit alleges.

Hey, cool. @lastweektonight.com just did a segment using reporting I did w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social

Soon after becoming F.B.I. director last February, Mr. Patel beefed up staffing in Nashville, where Ms. Wilkins lives, then assigned a SWAT team composed of four agents and two vehicles to protect her full-time, said an F.B.I. official briefed on the plans. Mr. Patel overrode F.B.I. advice that such an unprecedented arrangement first undergo a legal review, the official said. Past directors’ spouses were protected while traveling with them, but did not get a personal government detail.

This is probably gonna get lost in the whole 'war' thing happening this weekend but...

"Patel’s demand that rotating SWAT teams provide his girlfriend with security for singing appearances, personal engagements and errands is unprecedented in the FBI"

She mustered up a quizzical grin, nodded slightly and walked away.

Did you go to the Mercer museum?

Iran regime change: delivering results since 1953

I don't believe that the Rapture occurred last year and that we're now all living through the prophesied years of tribulations, but my conviction gets weaker with every airing of that 'See the USA in your Chevrolet' commercial.

And i apologize for intoning his name. You didn't do anything to deserve that.

They just sound like overly chipper student broadcasters. Kruk would eat them alive and then pick his teeth with their bones.

Ugh. Trying to watch the Phillies/Blue Jays game and I'm forced to watch the Toronto broadcast?? I'd rather be stuck in the middle seat between RAJ and Ben Davis than suffer these astroturf-using, healthcare-having goobers.

waking up: overrated imo

It is 1991. I am 15 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2003. I am 27 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

It is 2026. I'm too old for this shit. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.
