Fact Checking the “Success” of Trump Border Patrol Policies
A new study shows that border policies under both Biden and Trump had relatively small effects on border crossings.

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.

There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

As we gather today, we are holding in our hearts all those whose families have been separated by ICE.

We thank all immigrants whose labor brings food to our tables.

Fun fact: Did you know the turkey at the center of your table is a Mexican immigrant?

This is unfortunately reminiscent of early camps in Nazi Germany, which were also widely lauded by politicians (they were by no means a secret), treated as tourist curiosities, and featured in glossy magazine spreads. It’s unfathomable to me how so many people can take such joy in human suffering.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp

As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk.

So shall we get started?

The reason the south has languished for generations is that the white leadership cares more about preserving a white male hierarchy than making their society better. We're now seeing that on a national scale. The Trump administration is turning the US into deep south style autocracy.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.

It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

1. Retailers didn't like what their data was saying about shoplifting trends. So, after three decades, the National Retail Federation just stopped collecting data about shoplifting and invented a dubious new metric

It's already being cited by Fox News & the NY Post
