Listen to our episode of the Briefing with @katmabu.bsky.social:

SNAP Recipients Crushed by Democrats Caving on Shutdown: “They Just Wasted It All” People on food stamps said they were willing to sacrifice to protect health care benefits. They’re furious that the Democrats gave up.

“The pitch they made, it made sense. Everyone knew it was going to be painful, but it was important … and they just wasted it all."

Still looking to speak with SNAP recipients! 🚨

Human Rights Campaign Rejects Weapons Company Sponsorships After Pressure Around Israel Genocide LGBTQ+ group Human Rights Campaign ended sponsorships from arms firms Northrop Grumman and Raytheon, who profit off of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

my first story @theintercept.com: organizers with @adalahjustice.bsky.social and @genderlib.com announced today that the Human Rights Campaign has ended its relationships with weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman and Raytheon following years of protests and accusations of "pinkwashing"

I'm looking to speak with SNAP recipients about their reaction to the shutdown deal for @theintercept.com, if you're interested my email is Jessica.Washington@theintercept.com

Thank you, so much.

Hi, I'm working on a story about SNAP recipients reaction to the shutdown deal for The Intercept. Would you be interested in speaking with me? My email is Jessica.Washington@theintercept.com.

I’m late to it—there are already several episodes—but this is a gripping, infuriating, and much-needed podcast on the human cost of the War on Drugs.

Me writing about how white Christian nationalism is the explanation for literally everything.

I interviewed @katmabu.bsky.social an Illinois Congressional candidate facing federal conspiracy charges for protesting ICE for @theintercept.com. Here's what she had to say about the right to protest and what a leader owes their community. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Episode One: Dirty Business The Atlanta narcotics unit’s deadly raid on 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston.

Collateral Damage from @theintercept.com is a must listen investigative podcast about the decades-long impact of the war on drugs and how it relates to the challenges we're facing now.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Whenever I'm talking about politics with my husband we have a nuclear weapons don't exist rule so that we don't panic. Seems like it's time to abandon that.

The DOJ indicted a congressional candidate for protesting. Here's what happened: theintercept.com/2025/10/29/k...

The idea that a remotely mainstream Democratic policy agenda item is "abolish the police" or "abolish prisons" is deeply unserious.

Trump Would Rather Let Birth Control Expire Than Give It to Africans as Aid Time is running out to deliver a stockpile of contraceptives intended as aid for low-income women, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Trump administration is leaving $10 million worth of contraceptives to rot, rather than allow non-profit organizations to deliver it to women in Sub-Saharan Africa. theintercept.com/2025/10/24/t...

Bigots in the tent What did you think winning meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.

this feels completely banal? yes, a big tent political party is going to include voters who have bigoted views. i don’t think anyone has argued otherwise? the actual question at hand is “to what extent should a political party ostensibly committed to equality appeal to popular prejudices?”

I cannot have another conversation about transphobia being a result of people pushing too hard for civil rights. I will scream.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Teachers Scrambled After ICE Released Tear Gas Outside a Chicago Elementary School Chicago teachers said they’re dealing with traumatized students in underfunded schools — while Trump spends millions to militarize American cities.

After ICE set off tear gas next to a Chicago Elementary School, teachers had to explain why the U.S. government was targeting their communities. My latest for @theintercept.com on how children have become collateral damage in the administration's war on immigrants. theintercept.com/2025/10/19/c...

Curious to hear from people in DC if the increased Fed presence is making you scared to come out for the second No Kings protest.

This my official (late) announcement that I'm thrilled to share the podcast series I've been working on with a dream team over the last few years. Collateral Damage is a gutting examination of the half century long war on drugs that has built a massive war machine aimed at the public.

I'm working on a story about what's happening in Chicago with ICE, and it's so clear to me that things people have been warning about are already here.

Episode Two: A Death in the Dark How the pre-planned no-knock raid — a violent, volatile tactic that became a common tool of the drug war — leads to tragic consequences.

This is how the pre-planned no-knock raid — a violent, volatile tactic that became a common tool of the drug war — led to tragic consequences.

‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

This does feel like the natural conclusion of an ethos that is entirely based on eventually being able to say the n-word again without getting in trouble www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The next time someone tries to use Chat GPT in front of me I am throwing their phone away.
