"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

I'm not sure there's anyone on the planet who deserved to celebrate the defeat of Andrew Cuomo more than Lindsey, who had unimaginable amounts of courage in coming forward and continuing to push until he suffered actual consequences for sexual harassment

this has to be coupled with the things that *don’t* count as a scandal: an array of harassment allegations, covering up Covid deaths, staying in a race after losing the primary, etc.
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

Many years ago I spontaneously shit myself at this gas station and had to call a friend to bring me new clothes while I hid in shame in a bathroom stall, and now that's only the second worst thing that's happened here.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

President Trump plans to add a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications in the administration’s latest crackdown on a system it says is used by tech companies to avoid hiring American workers.

And I, for one, welcome our new ChatGPT journalism overlords.

I'd like to remind them as a trusted journalist, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground AI caves.
