Wait... I thought they already *had* a plan?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

ProPublica released a report showing ICE has detained US citizens.

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the ... https://cotellese.net/2025/11/06/propublica-released-a-report-showing.html

Bwahhaha

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

I would be a lot more jealous of these kitchens had we not had a recent remodel.

An ATC sick-out in DC, LA, SD would be great right about now.

When Bucks County school board shenanigans showed up in national news, I was embarrassed as a parent in Bucks County.

This gives me hope.

Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not 247 points by stillatit 10 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 200 comments Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link. I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation. Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after. [0] https://x.com/cjgbest/status/1985464687350485092 [1] https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1979994223224209709

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.

They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly).

I really liked season 2 of Peacemaker. I just found out that the last episode was the lowest rated episode of the season. I think it’s because the previous episode actually felt like a season finale and it took me a few weeks to realize it wasn’t over.

Is this a new SMS spam vector? I tend to get about 3 - 4 a week. It seems to have started In September.

Man they really don't want devs building for this device.

I just saw one of these signs. Realized it was probably misleading.

Call me crazy but demolishing a chunk of the White House for a $240M gilded ballroom doesn’t seem like the act of someone who thinks he’ll be out of office in 4 years.

This was a great piece from multiple perspectives. The obvious music angle but also a general lesson on tenacity in business.

Staring at two Claude Code sessions right now. One, is generating design ideas directly in Swift UI so I can iterate on them in Xcode.

The other, is building a version of a different app that will let me split test between Algolia and our recommendation platform NEXTGRES.

I have a bit of a spicy take on this. The code doesn't matter. The input and output matters. While crafting great code is an art form, it's hidden art that no one can see. The only thing your end users care about is that it solves their problem. #llm #vibecoding

I’m happy to see that iOS 26.1 has a setting to tone down the liquid glass effect.

Today’s the day we all learn how many services we use rely on AWS.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Side note: Trump thinks that talking like this makes him look strong.

He has no concept of how weak it makes him look, and how everyone can see it.

Then they fight you: How the No Kings protests are winning America | Will Bunch A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead
