Shameful

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

A Republican Congressman sexually harassed a staffer who then burned herself alive, and Jeffries thinks the Democrats have a decorum problem.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

"...researchers reported that the ideal conditions for major wildfires are now aligning across different parts of the world at more than double the rate they did nearly 50 years ago."

Well, yeah. That's not surprising, but it's always good to have your spidey-sense confirmed by data.

The National Science Foundation’s entire budget is $10 billion.

The reactionary centrists who took seriously and platformed the moral panics over DEI and critical race theory seriously helped this along. And now that fanatical zealots are banning “world-views” and Holocaust education they are mostly quiet.

Correct.

I just got back from Whistler and overheard *so many* conversations from people all over the world about not going to the US. A Dane said “I was planning to go to Vegas this year but then the Greenland thing happened.” One Aussie said to another “I don’t want to wind up in an ICE concentration camp”

“She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America:

“‘Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.’”

It is crucial that Democrats read such things as they consider DHS funding. It is an affront to the entire idea of America. Operating like the secret police of the worst totalitarian societies. Unless it completely changes, funding it is an abdication of their Constitutional duty.

A British grandmother with a valid UK passport and visa was held prisoner by ICE for six weeks because apparently “individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Mom of 7-year-old hospitalized with brain swelling from measles: I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine

Ethan's parents decided not to immunize him against measles as they did with his three brothers. Three out of four of them contracted measles. Still, despite Ethan's ordeal, his mom stands by their decision "We're not blaming God for this," said 35- year-old Kristina. "Yes, it hurts, of course it hurts. But God has chosen Ethan for a reason. God is doing something, and we're gonna glorify his name regardless. "And we wouldn't change it any other way" the mom continued. "If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn't have given my son the vaccine."

I've interviewed moms like this—moms who won't vaccinate, reassuring themselves that if their child dies, it's God's will.

It's almost impossible to change their minds, because they believe God won't let them into heaven if they vaccinate their kids, since vaccinating means not trusting God's plan.

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

These are showing up in your Google scholar profile? I’ve seen references in student papers that were made up but I wasn’t aware that Google scholar has them listed as part of a scholars record now…

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Appreciate @marisakabas.bsky.social digging up stuff like this -- this bureaucratic maneuver was news to me

👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Can confirm.

Why do the fascists want to keep you hooked on fossil fuels? Because it keeps them in power. If you don't need their fossil fuels, they lose a lot of that power. True for Putin, Trump and the Princes.

The smartest national security move now is to switch to renewables and electric transportation.

"first they came for my property value"

The right wing always pretended they don’t like gender studies because they think it’s unserious woke nonsense, but it turns out, they just don’t want us to see what they’re up to.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

white dudes in Callaway hats doing this are a five alarm fire for the GOP

@schumer.senate.gov there is no reforming this

from the top to the bottom, prosecutions are the only answer

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
