Judge Subramanian has ruled on Sean “Diddy” Combs’s request for an evidentiary hearing over notes taken from his jail cell. He says no hearing is needed. "The generic nature of the notes makes it unlikely that any improper use of the information has or could be made."

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

In a recent series of speeches and interviews, Biden officials have attempted to put a positive spin on their foreign policy legacy. The reality is that Biden's legacy is, and will remain, one of genocide. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/01/the-biden-team-is-working-to-spin-their-foreign-policy-legacy…

Now that a ceasefire has been agreed to in Gaza, the bombs will stop falling, and the world will breathe a sigh of relief. Yet, for those of us who survived, the war hasn’t ended—it has merely transformed. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/01/the-gaza-ceasefire-will-not-cure-the-wounds-of-genocide/ #Pa…

Been thinking a lot about the TNR piece I wrote abt the relationship btw debt and suicide. How many lives would be saved by universal healthcare BEYOND health outcomes? Lives saved by ending student debt and UBI? We need better mental health interventions but it’s also EASIER than that.
