ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aids—and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

Democrats should simply press the magic button that makes median voters completely different people

send JD out there to tell people to check the pressure on their tires and remind them they can carpool

well aware of how little people want to be told to drive less, and i love it for this administration

just heading down to the tanker showroom to pick out a new one. the prices have, of course, all stayed the same.

i love the way kilmeade talks about a blown-up tanker like you're just totaling a rental car. insurance is one thing. but if you lose your ship, you then need a ship.

kind of a big tell when the securities exec at Bank of America is talking about "affordability"

a lot of people confuse economic leaders using TV appearances to try to reach people in the administration with those people revealing what they actually think about stuff

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

“Of the 279 people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S. citizens, the Journal found. Close to half of those Americans were never charged with assault. None have been convicted at trial.”

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

License plate readers. Cellphone location data. Social media monitoring. Now, real-time facial recognition on the street.

DHS is building a surveillance apparatus—and you're probably already in it.

i want proportionate representation, triggering clauses for independent redistricting, etc. but the reaction from northern virginia Republican consultants to *abigail spanberger* has been very funny to watch

oh no how did this happen

military/cop-speak kind of eating its tail here

i work with words for a living, so I am biased, but I really think we've got to bring back words. really useful if you imbue them with meaning and arrange them properly!

my solution to "feeling bad about it" is I just add a ton of tomato paste. go big or go home.

wow

tired: car-dependency undermines democracy

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."
