Huge banner of Trump unveiled on Justice Department HQ The banner, newly stretched across the Justice Department's DC headquarters, depicts a glaring Trump beside the phrase "Make America Safe Again."

And yet it’s even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they won’t be arriving anytime soon.

This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Rupert Murdoch have done more harm to America than all the other immigrants combined.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

Clarence Thomas Secretly Accepted Luxury Trips From Major GOP Donor Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me tha...

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Doing one thing right every few years doesn’t absolve the Roberts court. Especially after Dobbs and immunity.

The legal setup is incredibly shady. Finance, contracts, property, immunities, they all of it flow from the Chairman’s authority. There are no external checks, and even dispute resolution ends with the Chairman’s own interpretation. There is effectively zero rule-of-law accountability.

This one hits hard.

I posted this one year ago at what was probably the height of Trump’s power.

There’s more work to be done but these five things still make up a pretty good outline of how we save our democracy - not through resignation and capitulation but through determination and action.

We can do this.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

Goodness, things might get a wee bit testy at the upcoming State of the Union.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

On right the new image Trump had posted outside DOJ. The resemblance between these two is NOT a coincidence.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

How Trump Put Veteran Care in Crisis Thousands of staff have left the health care side of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and those who remain are approaching burnout.

Thousands of workers have left the VA in the first year of Trump’s second term, leaving core veterans’ care initiatives hobbled.

I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.
