BREAKING NEWS: A stunning courtroom admission may have just blown up the Trump DOJ's case against James Comey. Prosecutors just admitted the full grand jury NEVER reviewed the indictment — only the foreperson did, after Lindsey Halligan brought an altered version straight to the magistrate.

The Trump White House sees Zelensky as the adversary who must be pressured, and Putin as the sympathetic partner whose demands deserve accommodation. Always has.
So they’re treating a corruption scandal in Ukraine as an opportunity to get Russia concessions that Russia cannot win on its own.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental.

The extremism beat has gone mainstream—but in local markets, it’s still intensely personal.

Not on ACA but my employer provided insurance just went up $200 per month. From $2400 per year now to $4800
I’m one of the lucky ones because it’s just me on the policy. No idea how a family absorbs that increase.
Basically received a pay cut.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?
