Never seen a mayor so committed to reversing the modest progress she's made on homelessness.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"

Migrants at largest US detention camp face foul water, rotten food, congresswoman says 'Conditions at Camp East Montana are dangerous and inhumane,' Veronica Escobar wrote in a letter.

Billionaire Lake Nona developer Joe Lewis pardoned by Trump Lewis, the British billionaire, headed the Tavistock Group that has developed widely in Central Florida. He pleaded guilty last year to insider trading charges.

There is no such thing as white collar crime anymore.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

Michael Flynn, DOJ in Settlement Talks Over $50 Million Claim The Justice Department has been discussing settlements with two former officials from Donald Trump’s first term who — like the president — claim they’re owed major payouts from the US government as vi...

Basically saying "if you do crime for me, I won't only pardon you--I'll give you millions of dollars of public money." Truly unprecedented level of corruption

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism. Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Megyn Kelly in 2017: " If Roy Moore wants to go to the US Senate and he has a history of assaulting 14- and 16-year-old girls, it's a problem."

America's network of democratic alliances was a jewel. Never before had a great power relied on cultivating voluntary relationships, leading to the richest, most powerful country in history, and benefitting the world relative to the alternative.

Then America decided to throw it away. And for what?

Honestly, I wish the markets would react to an absolute moron being on the Fed.

This is who gets to vote on how to manage US currency.

How much money will Trump get as kickbacks from his gang of insurrectionists after they sue the DOJ and Trump pays them off with taxpayers' money?

30 years later, think about all that annual reoccurring revenue!

I'm sure that was in the pitch deck to VCs.

Grokipedia cites a Nazi forum and fringe conspiracy websites A site-wide comparison with Wikipedia sheds light on what Elon Musk is trying to do

NEW on @indicator.media: A first *full-scale* comparison of Grokipedia v Wikipedia.

Last week the awesome @harold.bsky.social rocked up to my desk bearing gifts.

Hal had collected almost all 900K Grokipedia entries and compared them to their Wikipedia equivalents for text and citation similarity.

This position will really shore up Mayor Pete's support among African American voters!

Trump giving off strong OJ Simpson "I'm looking for the real killer" vibes.

A roided out, ex-podcaster/disinfo vector, might be a security risk?

Trump Kicks California Republicans Into the Abyss As their districts disappear and their careers in Congress end, few admit their own party is to blame.

"Rep. Tom McClintock, a conservative who represents a still somewhat GOP-friendly district, disagreed with the notion that this was a self-inflicted crisis for Republicans." Even - or especially - when his career is at stake. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-kick...

ur global progress on climate change, in one chart Amy Harder Add Axios on Google Global energy-related CO2 emissions In metric gigatons CO2; Annual historical data 2010 to 2024

Not sure this Y axis should've been zero but that aside: this masks the problem that the improvement in projections essentially stopped two years ago, and threatens to worsen in the coming years.

Things *were* getting better. They are not, now.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

That Time Magazine cover headline — “His Triumph” — looks more ridiculous by the day.

This is the same administration that has ordered the return of a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery--one which celebrates the "loyal slave" narrative as represented by the images of the "faithful mammy" and a body servant (slave) in Confederate uniform. 🗃️

MAGA’s ongoing war on academic freedom, reflected in headlines from the last 24 hours.

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”
