How UCLA used a friendly charity to get tax-free NIL money The school sent donors to a 501c3, but flagged the money for its football team.

The day Nico Iamaleava's NIL contract dispute broke, UCLA got $60,000 from donors.

But the school didn't have them send the money to its collective, Bruins for Life.

Instead, it had them give it to a local charity for at-risk youth.

Which is run by the founder of Bruins for Life.

New Epstein emails claim Trump ‘spent hours’ with victim Democrats on the House Oversight say the emails provide evidence of a cover-up by the White House

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

Sens. Angus King (D-ME), John Fetterman (D-PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

The main thing you hope for when building a new billion dollar stadium is that people will splash piss all over it: inside, outside, from the Goodyear blimp. That's how you know you have the juice.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Senior German officials have accused the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party of deliberately abusing parliamentary powers to collect and likely pass secret information about the country's military capabilities and the state of critical infrastructure to Russia.

Look forward to hearing how E likes it, maybe learn how to introduce Yautja to B in a few years. Perhaps via Yautja squishmallow?

They put up an awesome double billboard in LA that had the predator “jumping” from on billboard to slash a monster with a giant red sword on the other. (Static. Predator suspended between the two.) I pointed it out to B to get her excited and while she liked it, she still seemed a little scared.

Okay I will see it Jesse

Tarrant County is a lynchpin in the Republican party's control over Texas, which is a cornerstone of Republican power nationally.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago? At least 3,000 jailed immigrants have vanished from federal records, according to human rights attorneys and organizations.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records.

We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility.

They’re disappearing people.

No due process. No accountability.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

There’s a @briancassella.bsky.social shot for this from just today!!

ICYMI: A list of all the CEOs, real estate moguls, defense contractors, telecom companies, Big Tech companies, crypto guys and otherwise just really rich people financing the construction of Trump's ballroom as he demolishes the White House.

Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million

(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article) The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

The first Antifa Counter Terrorism Task Force Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...
