Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful.

Why this isn’t a happy Veterans Day OPINION: With the military being used to occupy American cities, honoring veterans without acknowledging unlawful deployment stateside is a disservice to the nation, Joseph Holsworth writes.

🧵A veteran speaks out on Trump this Veteran's Day.

"There is not a single man or woman in uniform who signed up to deploy to American cities for this mission. There is no honor in this service. "

"Wantonly deploying our service members to do the bidding of a dictatorial regime...

NEW: The US has deported a longtime Oregon firefighter who was arrested by Border Patrol while deployed at a major wildfire in Washington state.

José Bertin Cruz-Estrada, separated from his family, is speaking out from Mexico for the first time:

“I feel betrayed ... What am I going to do now?"

Morally repugnant. Just unspeakable.

Hundreds of Thousands of Anonymous Deportees Amid the president’s fast-moving deportation campaign, the stories of most people being swept up are missed.

Most people detained by ICE are being housed in sprawling complexes in rural areas, where the land is cheap and the protests are few.

Where Is OpenAI's Money Going? Soundtrack: Queens of the Stone Age - Song For The Dead Editor's Note: The original piece had a mathematical error around burnrate, it's been fixed. A few days ago, Sam Altman said that OpenAI’s rev...

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.

However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.

Didn't the administration try to claim that this woman didn't even work at the daycare -- that she just happen to run into the building after fleeing an immigration stop?

Seems pretty clear that was a lie.

Today, @aaup.org @aaup-penn.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org outside Apollo Global Management's Midtown office to protest Marc Rowan's "Compact for Higher Education". PSC-CUNY President James Davis explains why this assault on higher ed undermines academic freedoms and our democracy itself.

@takethecannoli7.bsky.social Is this a rare case of private equity having a substantial impact on a housing market? (Though I appreciate that 700 houses is very small number out of Baltimore’s housing stock!)

Chicago: That is insanely disturbing. ICE kidnaps workers in broad daylight, leaving their equipment on site.

‘They destroyed us’: East Chicago woman with schizophrenia who opted for deportation now missing in Mexico When federal immigration agents raided Martha Porcallo Martinez’s East Chicago, Indiana home on June 12, they also arrested her 26-year-old daughter who has schizophrenia.

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.

“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

@marisakabas.bsky.social FYI. At the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, two panels about black soldiers who liberated the Netherlands disappeared.

like how little do you think of americans that “daily videos of masked men terrorizing children and tearing families apart” is an issue you don’t touch because you think you’re going to lose on it. that’s insane

he’s saying exactly what we’ve been saying, he’s absolutely right, and any colleagues of his should listen to him

every part of the country that could just told Donald Trump to go to hell and we demand our elected representatives follow suit

There are no words for how evil this is

US global assistance programs were the brainchild of a man named Herbert Hoover, and were institutionalized by JFK with a shout-out to Hoover. MAGA Republicans seem totally unaware of any of this. It's politically expedient amnesia.

they haven’t changed this, they still don’t cite a single San Franciscan who refers to Pelosi as “mom”, and it’s still weird af

Longo. Why is he still there? Why was he hired to begin with? He is unfit for the position, to say the least.

Strange how extending the UVA Ambassadors program to the DTM just disappeared down a memory hole. Not even mentioned in this recent CT story.

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to:...

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats.

"They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services"

Love seeing them open then close the doors & drive away when the whistles & shouting begin.

Unfortunately, ICE / CBP abducted neighbors at two other locations in Evanston / Skokie where there weren’t as many active deterrents.

Grateful for community defense, & also ICE out of our communities.

We need this to penetrate public consciousness.

Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to “get a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.

Bari Weiss was hired to remake CBS News. Here’s how it’s working out so far. Bari Weiss took over as editor in chief in October, launching a new era for CBS News amid layoffs, confusion and shifting expectations.

One month into Bari Weiss’s tenure as editor in chief at CBS News, staffers are weathering a flurry of layoffs, shifting resources and a cultural collision with Weiss’s ideas of how to tackle the news.

Here’s a look into the evolving TV newsroom:

An important thread for understanding the conditions at Broadview immigration jail for those ICE / CBP is abducting. A court order was issued to improve conditions but nothing can reform this wanton disregard and care for people’s health, safety, and humanity. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
