🟡 SCOOP: Executives at Paramount decided to delay and significantly alter a Daily Show-branded civic participation initiative, out of fear that the Trump administration could use it as a cudgel in blocking a pending acquisition deal. www.semafor.com/article/05/0...

I wonder if RFK Jr will finally ban dihydrogen monoxide - one of the most deadly chemicals on earth.

SB 2880 out of Texas has the goal to wipe information about abortion pills from the internet. It is carefully designed to scare people into silence and will chill free speech.

virtually every other publication could learn a thing or two from @404media.co on linking back to other publications. not only is this extremely useful context to catch people up on a story, it shares credit and goodwill. this is exactly what this should look like www.404media.co/this-is-pala...

If TX passes SB 2880, the bill would make it illegal to “provide information” on how to obtain an abortion-inducing drug. Texas legislators not only want to make sure no one can start a discussion on abortion pills, they also want to make sure no one can find one.

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Sure, Let’s keep gutting the safety agencies like FDA and OSHA.. companies will be safe on their own without any oversight!

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

This OPSEC Special Bulletin went out to the Pentagon during the same time period that SECDEF was using an unauthorized Signal chat. You can’t make this shit up.

Signal's a great app to keep your communications secure, but make sure you know the identities of the users in your group chats. Our SSD guide on how to use Signal includes guidance on managing your group chat preferences.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely. When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger. @repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.
