A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen. He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up "a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president

New from me: the House GOP bill would cut Medicaid & CHIP by 12-14%, growing higher over time - the largest in history. There's $792 bn of gross Medicaid & CHIP cuts (mostly Medicaid). There are $76 bn of total health offsetting interactive effects (mostly Medicaid), so the true cut is $716-792 bn.

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

whatever else happens this week, we got this headline in the magazine so im chalking it up as a win

Of the books named on this reading list, Brit Bennet, Isabel Allende, Andy Weir, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Rebecca Makkai, Maggie O'Farrell, Percival Everett, and Delia Owens' titles are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!! See Alt Text for more detail. Image by @tbretc.bsky.social

Miguel Vargas has a .333/.404/.609 line over his last 24 games, since his season bottomed out on Apr 19. Would you look at that.

The Bears agreed to a two-year deal with All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, his agent Mike McCartney announced.

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

🔎So this is interesting— Matt Gaetz's 2025 Q1 campaign report described a $151,000 payment to a law firm as "Settlement, Legal Expense." The same day it filed the original report, it submitted an amendment that called the disbursement "Legal Consulting." www.fec.gov/data/committ...

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Marry me??

The Qatar Economic Forum is hosting a public session on how to profit off of Trump’s bribery and corruption schemes.

May 2, 1945: The U.S. celebrates the collapse of Germany's far-right government. May 2, 2025: The U.S. is chastised by Germany for supporting a return to power of Germany's far-right government.

The University of Kentucky responded to my FOIA request in regards to a Title IX/report of sexual assault involving Buffalo Bills draft pick Max Hairston. Here’s their reply:

Zah Frazier was drafted in round 5 pick 169 in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.36 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 179 out of 2761 CB from 1987 to 2025. ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=27339&ovl=Bears

I don't care about needs or depth in the trenches, the Bears should draft Treveyon Henderson and Luther Burden in the 2nd and unleash years of misery on the NFC North. #Bears

Fun nugget from @danebrugler.bsky.social on Bears TE Colston Loveland: "In first grade, he saw minutes on the fifth grade basketball team; he played on the middle school football team while still in fourth grade. Because of his size, Loveland started out as a lineman in youth football."

Bears select TE Colston Loveland with the No. 10 overall pick. • Set Michigan’s single-season record for catches by a tight end (56) in 2024 • Ranked top-5 in yards per route run among TEs in each of the past two seasons, per @ PFF (min. 25 targets)

TWITTER WOULD NEVER GET BACK UP THAT QUICKLY. LET'S GO!!!!!

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

How April 2024 went for the White Sox: 1-7-1 in the first nine series April 27 marked their first series win, April 28 the first series sweep (sorry Rays). Before that, the Sox had gone 0-7-1 in series, had been swept four times — two of those being four-game series 2025's series have started 0-4

Fucking die already

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will end a mortgage rescue plan that has saved many veterans from needlessly losing their homes, the move could strand thousands of others who need help.

I spent years telling Chris Murphy exactly what was happening; there are a ton of records. Do not fall for performative bullshit. They knew the Trump cohort plot the entire time. Demand action from them -- and repentance.

Trump caught the woke mind virus

Congratulations to everyone who said Trump was "pro-worker," he just gutted federal workers' bargaining rights, tore up their contracts and effectively decertified nearly every federal union. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
