ProPublica’s brand messaging should be:
Doing the Work Corporate Media Consistently Fails to Do

Sept. 11 Victims’ Lawsuit Against Saudi Government Can Go to Trial, Judge Rules

Information uncovered by plaintiffs has already undermined the FBI’s conclusion that two U.S.-based Saudi officials “unwittingly” helped al-Qaida hijackers after they arrived in America.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Kristi Noem’s “values” have spread to ICE. After entering a home in Texas without a warrant, agents shot and killed a family’s dog and then fled the scene. This is NOT ok.

But they’re not. They’re using Idaho to train Qatar pilots, a deal signed by Biden in 2022. Trump just happened to use it as leverage to get himself a jet and a golf resort to add to his grift pile he’ll leave to the wife and kids.

“Her brother says she’s a citizen”… doesn’t look like they even gave her a chance to show her ID… and they certainly did show their ID to her… they are shameful, violent criminals… thugs who will have their day in court after this vile tyrannical regime is toppled… and it must be toppled!

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

So much for the party of freedom and liberty. More like freedum and bribery.
