We spent 6 months investigating a children’s pastor accused of being a serial rapist. His accusers have spent 40 years fighting to stop him. Today he works for disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker and runs a secluded camp for kids in the Ozarks. My latest w/ @ahylton26.bsky.social for @nbcnews.com

No matter how many times we say Fox News isn’t real news, it doesn’t matter—because their viewers believe it is. Watch: It shows exactly how they’re screwing all of us—you & me—because we’re stuck dealing with people who fall for disinformation. And their own viewers, because they believe the lies.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

I’m not seeing enough stories note Mayor Baraka was protesting bc a for-profit prison contracted by ICE was operating without complying with local permitting requirements. Federal agents arrested a mayor doing his job in order to help Geo Group Inc profits. www.ice.gov/news/release...

Heather knows best.

The Trump administration hired a company to open an ICE facility in Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said they needed permits There's a sordid history of for-profit businesses holding immigrants under inhumane conditions So the mayor went to inspect And they arrested him NEVER STOP FIGHTING FASCISM

THIS INJUSTICE WILL NOT STAND. Two things you can do right now, NJ: 1. Call on your own mayor to make a statement condemning Baraka's arrest. 2. Head to the ICE office at 620 Frelinghuysen Ave in Newark to support the mayor.

In Worcester, Massachusetts, the Trump regime's ICE troops violently attacked a mother and her two children – including a newborn baby. Brave neighbours attempted to intervene to protect the family from being kidnapped by the regime troops and collaborator police forces. #3E #endimpunity

Only 5 years, spread this fuckers face around so everyone knows who he is😡

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

NEW: GlobalX, the company doing many deportation flights for ICE, has been hacked. Hackers claim to have stolen flight manifest information and flight details, and have also defaced the website www.404media.co/globalx-airl...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Clay Jackson's story is picking up momentum. Jackson is the Texas attorney who was visited by two law enforcement officers at his home after giving some legal advices to an undocumented family. He was fired from his job with FNF after talking to me about the incident. Here's Judd Legum:

Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.

I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

🔥MUST-WATCH: @mizzwelch.bsky.social calls out rahm emanuel to his face for “buying into the right-wing narrative” and “selling out” Dem values on @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social (He then suggests southern progressives should pack up & move 🤔 — this ain’t it, chief!) Full: youtu.be/OMVMuJtDteo?...

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

We are a shameful nation run by loons and scum. "In the United States, the coordinator responsible for collecting data on war crimes committed by Russia against Ukraine has been dismissed. The interagency task force led by this coordinator has also been disbanded…” – The Washington Post.

~5.6 million U.S. citizen children live with an undocumented family member, 4.7 million have an undocumented parent in the home, and 2.7 million have only undocumented parents in the home. Where do these children end up if their parents are detained/deported? www.brookings.edu/articles/wha...
