Reporter @dfriedman.bsky.social contacted the Pentagon about a top Pete Hegseth aide.

The next day, far-right influencer Jack Posobiec threatened to write a scurrilous story about him.

In February, Elon Musk posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asked if we suffered childhood trauma and concluded by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This was my response.

The Trump administration is putting extreme restrictions to Head Start programs, including preventing the use of words like “woman,” “disability,” and “race” when applying for grants.

We're taking President Trump to court to protect this critical program.

New in PN: Trumpers are *still* scheming to overturn the 2020 election

"Trump’s conspiracy theories, threats, & endless lawsuits aren’t simply about proving non-existent fraud in 2020. They’re part of an *actual* sprawling plan to sow doubt in future elections — specifically, ones Republicans lose"

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In preparation for a SCOTUS case that could eliminate mail-in ballot grace periods next year, Ohio's Republican governor "reluctantly" signed a new law ending the state's four-day grace period to prevent a “chaotic” election.

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, keeping kids out of school and parents from work, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.

Hard-hitting investigative reporting is expensive. That’s why corporate news sources are slashing it from their budgets. But, we dig, because it’s our mission—and because readers step up to help pay the bills.

Many of us are exhausted having worked to learn the truth of our own history on our own, but also having to learn the history of American white people that most white ppl refuse to learn.

That is partly why when you say “why are you surprised” it’s so annoying. Believe me, we are not surprised!
