We're up to six people at both SDNY and Main Justice who have resigned rather than carry out Bove's illegal order, plus all of the line prosecutors working on the case put on leave, and apparently they still haven't found anybody willing to put their name on that motion and file it.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

Holy ****

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The memo rescinds a Biden administration guideline that created "protected areas" consisting of places where "children gather, disaster or emergency relief sites, and social services establishments."

at this point you have to ask, what evidence is that the hegseth *isn’t* abusive to the women in his life, or even any woman who crosses his path www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...

In an extended interview with NPR show The World, I discussed why Meta's dropping fact-checking should be viewed as a favor-currying message with an audience of one: Donald Trump. Have a listen: theworld.org/segments/202...

This stream of Kash Patel’s baseless conspiracy theories about FBI on Jan 6 should disqualify him from leading the agency. Thanks to @normeisen.bsky.social and @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social for their work to compile it. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Scoop: Layoffs are slated to hit The Washington Post this week, I'm told. Dozens are expected to be impacted. Details here: www.status.news/p/washington...

It’s that wonderful time of the year when no one is quite sure who they are or what they’re supposed to be doing. So just read a book instead. Or buy one.

He’s a racist far right disgrace

Are Americans too genetically inferior to work in high-tech? The owner and CEO of X thinks so.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

This fast-growing fake union for home health-care workers is locking employees into boss-friendly contracts. Terrific reporting from @clauirizarry.bsky.social @alykatzz.bsky.social (donate to @thecity.bsky.social!)

This is not the first time the Trump family has stiffed kids with cancer. Search "Eric Trump cancer charity" for more.

About one year into Will Lewis’ tenure as CEO of The Washington Post, morale is in the basement & top talent are looking at the exits. Meanwhile, the state of the executive editor search appears in disarray after NYT’s Cliff Levy pulled out. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/washington...

After his successful consolidation of power, the Leader prepares for show trials of those who resisted his first failed putsch.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

Audiences turn to trusted journalists to cut through the noise, but unfortunately some are abdicating their duties, either because they lack the will or desire to articulate what they very well know to be true. More in Status: www.status.news/p/kash-probl...

Scoop: Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, two journalists whom have treated Joe Biden to an unrelenting stream of hawkish coverage, are writing a campaign book focused largely on the president. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/jake-tappe...

Scoop: CNN leadership has ordered a new "look live" experiment, where correspondents pre-tape TV hits in the morning that will then be replayed during the day. The move comes as CNN looks for ways to do more with less. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/cnn-look-l...

Is this the same Mark Zuckerberg who told Jim Jordan just a few months ago that he would not be making donations to support electoral infrastructure because of even the perception of not being neutral? 🤔 www.wsj.com/tech/mark-zu...

Please pay attention to what the GOP is doing in North Carolina. They are continuing to try to steal a state Supreme Court seat. youtu.be/cHzbdAdR4vE

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Charles Kushner is going to be Trump's ambassador to France so I can't get upset about President Biden pardoning his son, who was charged with conduct that typically isn't charged by fed'l prosecutors.

This is all the Russians have been able to take in almost a year, at the cost of about 1500 men A DAY. You heard that right, 1500 PER DAY

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

PSA: Please be nice to retail workers this time of the year, especially grocery employees this week.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

JOE AND THE (LOST) JUICE: The "Morning Joe" audience is making it clear it is not happy with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski having groveled before Donald Trump. From Status: www.status.news/p/mark-lazar...

Thank you for the reminder!

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

so with the new administration coming in — shit’s about to get …… interesting 😒🤨😌 #govtspyware #spware #surveilled
