NYPD sergeant impersonates ICE agent in twisted revenge plot against woman who rebuffed him: law enforcement Sgt. Atickul Islam, who lives at home with his father and brother, met the woman online and made romantic overtures before she rejected him, sources said.

This is the kind of abuse of power that makes a mockery of law enforcement. A NYPD sergeant, sworn to protect and serve, used his badge as a weapon for personal revenge.

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

Who Attended Trump’s Dinner for the Saudi Crown Prince?

Here's the full list of all the CEOs and Bill Ackman-types who were delighted to dine with two murderers, MBS (Khashoggi, etc.) and Trump (boats, USAID, etc.)

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Trump lashes out at former Philly Daily News reporter when pressed on Jeffrey Epstein “Quiet, quiet, piggy,” Trump shot back at Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey.

I've known Catherine Lucey for 26 years, since I covered the 1999 mayor's race for the PDN and she covered it for Penn's student paper. She is, quite, simply, the best in the business, who also got under Trump's skin in his first term. Trump is the real pig here www.inquirer.com/politics/tru...

Tim Cook, the head of Apple, is having a nice dinner with MBS, who regularly orders executions, including for tweets.

Apple hosts "a Saudi app that allows men to track the movement of their wives and daughters. In 2019, Mr. Cook said he would investigate the app, but it is still available today."

The guest list for White House dinner for the Saudi Crown Prince included nearly 50 executives Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff were on the guest list.

Here’s the list of guests who honored the killer crown prince of Saudi Arabia last night at our White House, including Elon Musk (Tesla) and Tim Cook (Apple), and more: www.businessinsider.com/white-house-...

Here’s what voters are seeing while waiting in the grocery checkout.

I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Julie nails the problem here. The press lets him get away with this shit all the time, showing zero support for each other. It's what has allowed him and the White House to just lie and insult people with impunity. Shame on all of them. This is absurd.

Pardoned Capitol Rioter Tried to Hush Child Sex Victim With Promise of Jan. 6 Reparation Money, Police Say

"Two police arrest reports detail Johnson’s alleged crimes, which range from sexual contact with the genitals of an 11 year old to asking a minor for sex."

Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter

An incredibly Trump-era headline theintercept.com/2025/11/17/p...

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

Trump is a piece of shit and his supporters like him because they are pieces of shit.

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

Oh boy. So, allegedly, Nuzzi had an affair with Sanford and then later RFK, both men she was covering as a reporter.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

This comes hours, weeks and months after multiple business deals were announced between the Saudi global wealth fund and Trump Org worth several billion dollars. The Saudis are one of the Trump family’s biggest business partners.

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper?

by Larry Summers

Big law is a cancer on the body politic.

Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, issued a statement saying that I was lying about the circumstances leading up to my firing. Then I was invited by the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee to testify in front of Congress. The administration sent armed U.S. Marshals to my home to deliver a letter warning me about testifying. A career employee who was still at the department helped me get it called off before they got to my house, where my teenager was home alone. I felt the purpose was to intimidate me. And I think it was intended to send a message to other department employees, too, who might be thinking about speaking up. I needed a lawyer. I spent the entire weekend calling all of the lawyers that I know at law firms around D.C. Everybody I talked to was saying: “Thank you so much for what you’re doing. We’ll do whatever we can behind the scenes to support you.” But nobody actually wanted to sit behind me at a congressional hearing. Nobody wanted to put their name on a letter to Todd Blanche.

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her.
This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

I. TOLD. YOU.
