What a terrible shame it would be if all those ICE agents stopped getting paychecks lol www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

He didn't run to MAGA, he ran to stay out of jail and make profits.

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

One hallway at GenCon vs Trump's Birthday Party

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

The best TV shows of 2025 so far are a mix of old-school procedurals and adventurous dramas. My picks:

More than half of people in key U.S. allies have no confidence in President Trump's leadership in world affairs, a new Pew survey finds. Majorities in almost every country surveyed describe Trump as "arrogant" and "dangerous."

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

This just leaves us heartbroken 💔 To those reinstated: congratulations!! You *never* should’ve been pushed out. To those still RIFfed: We see you. We miss you. You saved lives. Your work matters. You matter. CDC isn’t whole - or as effective - without you. www.foxnews.com/politics/hhs...

I was recently honored to accept my fifth Peabody Award for our “Confronting Hate” investigation! vimeo.com/1091958048

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

Trump saying Gavin is doing it for publicity is the blackest kettle ever.

David Graeber said this in 2012 about protests in New York City. Though this is increasingly what is happening this week in Los Angeles. davidgraeber.org/articles/con...

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT
