Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.
Books about βAsian wife sharing.β Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving βladyboys.β
Thatβs what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.
What came next was even wilder.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didnβt gerrymander for him.

A band-aid on a festering hand wound
Something's up with Trump's health and we should really find out what it is.
Going back months now,
the back of Trumpβs right hand
has often been visibly discolored and bandaged when he appears in public.
He works assiduously to conceal it from cameras by covering it with his other hand.
Getty photographers have gotten in the habit of taking shots of the malady

ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.
They didnβt have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.
Theyβre not going after criminals.
Theyβre grabbing anyone they can.

In an interview, Bruna Ferreira, who chose the White House press secretary as her sonβs godmother, contested the portrayal of her as a criminal, absentee mom.
WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt is godmother to Ferreira's son - who is now alone for the holidays - WH says
"Ferreira a βcriminal,β with a previous arrest for βbattery..." Court records, family photos and Ferreiraβs account tell a different story.
