This was a horribly violent weekend and to get right we need to be clear eyed. Violence is preventable. Mental health is meaningful. Sensible gun laws is a must. And humanity and decency from leaders must be a requirement and not simply a request.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”

That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.

What came next was even wilder.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.

Going back months now,
the back of Trump’s right hand
has often been visibly discolored and bandaged when he appears in public.

He works assiduously to conceal it from cameras by covering it with his other hand.

Getty photographers have gotten in the habit of taking shots of the malady
A band-aid on a festering hand wound
Something's up with Trump's health and we should really find out what it is.

Will four Republicans put country over party? If you live in a Republican district, speak out and make your voice heard.
Every single House Democrat has signed onto legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

We just need 4 Republicans to join us.

The clock is ticking, and House Democrats are racing to save health care.

ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.

They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.

At least one was detained.

They’re not going after criminals.

They’re grabbing anyone they can.
