Exclusive: Russia’s spy services have a shadowy new unit taking aim at the West with covert attacks across Europe and elsewhere.

underrated how much the DOGE groyper dipshits are exposing everyone to regular-ass criminals all over the world. the potential for theft is practically limitless

Bronze star veteran, former clerk for Chief Justice John Roberts - Hagan Scotten - refuses corrupt DOJ order to dismiss Eric Adams case and resigns in honor. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

JD Vance used his address to the Munich Security Conference to slam Europe's commitment to democracy as he said the U.S. was most worried about the "threat from within" the continent. Full details: www.newsweek.com/free-speech-...

I moved across the country, uprooting my family, for the promise of a stable future and the chance to serve the country and make weather forecasts better. I don’t even know what else to say.

Don’t do it! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...

They’re altering the deal, Mister Mayor. Pray they don’t alter it further.

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

this most cucked man I’ve seen on live tv since the oscars slap

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

Can’t we wrap the right wing media coverage in the cloak of conspiracy to get MAGA to notice how they are being manipulated?

we might get a bonus march situation soon enough

Even if this restarts the payments (which is doubtful), some of the damage done will be irreversible. And with the funding flowing again, will any organisation be able to plan around funding that can be cut off at one man's whim?

One for the map lovers

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Don’t Expect Republicans to Stop Trump’s Constitutional Chaos: Sure, a few GOP lawmakers have warned the president against defying court rulings. But he's already done just that, with the encouragement of top allies like JD Vance, Elon Musk and Mike Johnson.

Another casualty of Trump’s funding freeze: New Orleans’ tree canopy. A program was trying to mitigate the loss of 200,000 trees to Hurricane Katrina. grist.org/cities/trump... #Trees #NewOrleans #Louisiana #Trump

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

Purely coincidental, Reuters won a Pulitzer Prize for this investigation into Elon Musk: www.reuters.com/investigates...

Dems doing things.

The whole thing with USAID and NED has really demonstrated to me how many people are detached from reality, and how they create elaborate fantasies about organisations and individuals they don't like based on each others' delusional thinking.

Trump and Musk's (DOGE) funding cuts are crippling global efforts to combat child rape networks & human trafficking. Critical programs supported by USAID & the State Department are being shut down—leaving vulnerable children without protection from organized crime. #OpDeathEaters

NEW: Despite Musk and Rubio’s statements, life-saving programs with USAID funds are NOT restarting. A funds transfer system is frozen. And a USAID official sent out an internal email obtained by @nytimes.com telling employees to halt applications to restart: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

NEW: We caught another government spyware vendor, which made fake Android apps masquerading as WhatsApp and cellphone providers' apps. The spyware, called Spyrtacus, was made by SIO, which sells to Italian government and says that it partners with "Police and Intelligence Agencies."

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

I know that people like to rag on Oliver! because whine whine whine 2001 whine whine whine, but I know which film I'd rather watch a dozen or two times.

NEW: GOP North Carolina State Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin is in court trying to steal an election by retroactively changing voting rules. The case could set a dangerous precedent for future elections, argues @billycorriher.bsky.social.

The April 1 election includes a Wisconsin Supreme Court race that could maintain or end the liberal majority on a court that has decided many voting rights cases, as well as an amendment that could enshrine strict Voter ID requirements into the state constitution.

I’ve read the complaint. I may not die in the gulag or of a renaissance of smallpox, but there is a distinct possibility that I will be killed by this administration’s awful writers.

uhhh kinda feels like maybe they should publish those birds flu studies? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Checking in with Legacy Media.

The Trump-Putin non aggression pact of 2025 will contain a secret clause that assigns Poland to Russian sphere in exchange for US keeping Alaska. #ArtOfTheDeal

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Donald Trump begins negotiations by announcing ahead of time that we voluntarily giving away every bargaining chip we have besides lifting sanctions. This is how Putin begins negotiations.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people
