I mean what can you even say anymore, NYT is dead, WaPo is dead, do I hate that we have to get all our news from newsletters and individual reporters and blogs called Boozy Hamster and vet all that shit individually? Yes absolutely it’s very inconvenient, but how can you trust any other way nowadays
NEW: NYT Executive Editor Joe Kahn spoke about the Mamdani article at his daily meeting with top editors this morning, praising both the story and the reporting process, a Times source tells me. He also praised Assistant Managing Editor Pat Healy’s explanation of the situation that he posted on X.

So the United States has been lying to the courts.
Who knew and when did they know it?

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

Excited for the least self-aware people in the world to explain to me that this isn't actually antisemitic.
Trump just referred to some bankers as "shylocks" in his speech in Iowa.

They're making it an industry, a ravenous institution of masked, unaccountable thugs and extralegal detention sites. And if you think they're doing all of this just for undocumented immigrants, you're a fool.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Thief is a sunken treasure chest at this point. Everyone correctly goes crazy for HEAT but you’re not prepared for how fucking hard Thief hits.

Went and I checked this, and Edwin's correct: On the left is text from the reconciliation bill "PROHIBITING FEDERAL MEDICAID AND CHIP FUNDING FOR GENDER TRANSITION PROCEDURES FOR MINORS" On the right is from the Manager's amendment that strikes the word "FOR MINORS."

1. Shamefully, the Washington Post Editorial Board has just endorsed the junk-science report put out by RFK Jr's HHS department on trans people.
The paper is willing to put science aside when a politically juicy target like transgender people is involved.

Washington Post Shamefully Endorses RFK Jr's Pseudoscience Report On Trans People
The paper, which has had no problem critiquing other pseudoscience efforts by RFK Jr's HHS, appears to fully embrace anti-transgender pseudoscience and conversion therapy.

The kids in LA are putting most of the rest of us to shame.
LA STUDENTS WALK OUT AGAIN-
High school AND middle school students have taken over the streets in front of LA city hall for the 5th straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. This won’t be slowing down anytime soon
When is the rest of LA going to start joining them?
