I don’t get it. Are there no more videos of ICE-CBP abusing the citizens of Minneapolis? Even here, there are none; it’s all Epstein all the time. It’s not just the MSM ignoring it. It seems like nobody’s recording what people there say is happening.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?

Some of the points the editorial makes aren’t bad — a neverending cycle of tit for tat gerrymandering is bad for everybody — but it’s hard to credibly make that point when you dismissed it as a nothing burger until the other party started retaliating.

So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Was the post that was made from Trump’s account promising to “rescue” protesters in Iran before they will killed posted by a staffer?
Were the tariff threats that moved markets?
Threats to members of Congress and media?
How do we know if any posts are from the President?

If I were a different person, maybe I’d share some of the nasty responses I got last spring when - amid the CECOT flights - @andreapitzer.bsky.social @chenoweth.bsky.social and I put on a seminar on concentration camps. Outrage over “offensive” and “overblown” comparisons. Wish they’d been right.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

How about states requiring that any business selling consumer goods and services not change their prices any more frequently than every two weeks? Stop this price gaming.

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.

Wow, should probably fire the publisher responsible for missing out on the opportunities.
“We simply haven’t evolved our model or many operations and processes as much as we should have, and we’ve even missed out on some opportunities,” Murray said during the call as rationale behind the significant cuts
WaPo's Matt Murray told staff the paper is shuttering sports, moving remaining staff to features, shrinking foreign coverage, restructuring metro, closing books coverage, suspending Post Reports podcast
“Whole company now waiting for a live or die email” one staffer said

I talked to a woman who quit an AUSA job recently. She was asked by main DOJ to dismiss a Medicare fraud prosecution because the defendant was the daughter of a girlfriend of a MAGA figure.

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

So WTF is actually happening with the government shutdown? You might thing somebody would be interested in that. Especially since the only movement on Trump's side is better videos of government murders.
