Dismissed FAA staffer Ronicsa Chambers said her team members — five Black women and one white man with a disability — were told they would be reassigned but remain without work. “As far as we know, we’re the only ones still on administrative leave.” New, @davidmcswane.bsky.social @propublica.org

Was the storm reporting especially chaotic today because of any particular reason?

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Chicago Fire. Chicago PD. Chicago Med. Chicago Justice. And now, premiering only on NBC: Chicago Pope.

There’s a 60% chance the new Pope is still pissed the Bears picked Trubisky over Mahomes

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Make no mistake. That Guantanamo memo CBS recently reported on is a blueprint to torture migrants without ever having to directly, explicitly approve torture. Here’s why.

RFK Jr fired 20,000 staff and now the FDA is going to STOP SAFETY TESTING MILK because they don’t have enough staff to keep it going. Explain this logic to me.

As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes *hundreds of millions of dollars* of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.
