"Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a 'confidence score' .... ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based."

The US had 170 measles cases in one week! That’s twice as many as we had all year for much of my journalism career, and those 60-65 cases/year were mostly imported, but didn’t spread.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

"Trump didn’t suddenly wake up wanting to “liberate” Venezuela; he’s cashing in on a years‑old Kremlin idea that the U.S. could be “given” Caracas in exchange for looking the other way on Ukraine."

Trump absolutely needs to be impeached and removed or hit with the 25th amendment. He will leave the entire world a smoldering ash heap if he's not checked immediately.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

The introduction of universal dose of Hep B vaccine led to a steep decline in Hep B infections in children. Before 1991, 20,000 newborns/yr were infected. Now it is fewer than 20. This trend will be reversed now. RFK Jr. must go!

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Exactly this: the administration’s concentration camps should be a howling, daily outrage, a scandal of historic proportions.
Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant

“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.

Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

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.
