RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Alex Padilla’s parents came to the U.S. legally, and he was born in Los Angeles. If that’s disqualifying, then by this logic, Donald Trump shouldn’t be here either. His maternal grandparents were never U.S. citizens and never immigrated legally.

I've discovered a simple way to immediately end groups of phishing attempts: casually note that you have a friend at FBI. Do that with one account, and suddenly several stop contacting you.

One of the features Bluesky shares with Xitter is a DM list filled with phishing expeditions. What are some of the most ham-fisted attempts you've seen? Here I'm seeing the same script used over and over, with so little variance the intros are nearly verbatim identical.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

No funds to rebuild after devastating storms and fires, but troops if you demand basic human rights. Got it.

(🧵) Friendly reminder that if you’re overwhelmed right now and feel like there’s nothing you can do, you’re wrong! Not everything requires drone footage or the national news. Real change starts at the local level and it’s powerful. (1/23) Here’s a thread of things you CAN do.

If passed, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would increase the number of people without health insurance by 10.9 million — and 16 million more when the expected expiration of the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits and the full impact of the proposed integrity rules is included.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

The people hiding the Frank family were violating the law. That's how ethnic scapegoating works, how it's used to divide communities.
