I remember the worst day for crime in Washington D.C.'s history and whose fault it was.

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released…

#ICYMI: We obtained internal data showing the Trump administration knew at least 197 of the men it sent to CECOT had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.

Nearly half were whisked out of the U.S. while in the middle of their immigration cases, which should have protected them from deportation.

“This is not about crime. It’s about control. It’s about power.”

Trump's nominee for BLS commissioner, EJ Antoni, is disastrously terrible. He's a 1200%, 1300% maybe 1400% in-the-tank Trumper, with few credentials beyond a history of misrepresenting or misunderstanding economic statistics. He has shown no commitment to truth

But in April 2025, DHS notified hundreds of thousands of non-citizens that their parole status was terminated. As a result, their work authorizations were revoked.

This policy violates federal law, ignores non-citizens’ legal rights & places them at risk of deportation. We'll see them in court.

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

These GOP Lawmakers Referred Constituents to the CFPB for Help. Then They Voted to Gut the Agency. Many of the same Republican lawmakers who have targeted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for cuts have collectively directed thousands of constituents’ complaints about banks, credit cards,…

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, voted for cuts to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but he’s also routed more than 800 of his constituents’ complaints to the agency — the most of any current lawmaker from either party, ProPublica found.

What Happened to the Women of #MeToo? Tina Johnson accused Roy Moore of sexual assault. Then the world moved on, and left her behind.

This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers.

I have spent multiple weeks working on this story. We are not dropping it. I hope you will give this a read.

this work saved millions of lives in 2021, won the Nobel Prize in 2023, and is cancelled in 2025

I heard it’s so bad in DC that a convicted felon was spotted on the roof of the White House today

Generational public health sabotage

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?

More attention here please.

Prisoner can be executed without turning off pacemaker, Tennessee high court rules A lower court had acknowledged that Byron Black’s implanted combination pacemaker-defibrillator could prolong his suffering by shocking his heart after lethal injection.

He likely will be shocked alive to die again. We are a sick nation.

Wow

MORE from Virginia Giuffre's family:

"The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency."

“Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the … violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors."

Latest on this: The DC appeals panel that overturned the 9/11 plea deal has given defense lawyers for the Guantanamo prisoners until Sept. 24 to decide how to appeal -- to try to reinstate the pretrial agreement.

The “deal” that Brown made with the Trump admin is much more extreme than is being reported. It includes government oversight of course evaluations and no barrier to government interference in faculty hiring.
