Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

The European Commission has preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act over its addictive design. TikTok says it will challenge the findings, but it’s a massive test for the Digital Services Act, with potential implications for all platforms, writes Chris Stokel-Walker.

FWIW the article has since been revised, with the original speculation on Trump’s awareness and AI synthesis omitted during the edit. The first edition matters tho.
What the hell is the New York Times doing?
In its article on Trump posting a video that included a clip of the Obamas as apes, NYT tries to help him come up with an excuse: "It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it."
WTF.

This is a clear-cut scenario where the press can definitively say either the president or his chief intel advisor is lying. This isn’t a debate over internal states. There’s no room for self delusion here.
Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.

Bannon has a kind of shield of invincibility because the evidence that he was BFF with Epstein is clear as day now but he is facing exactly zero political consequences for it.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.
