Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

Announced inspections are not real inspections. There’s documented evidence and witness testimony about coverups at these facilities. (Look at records of complaints filed against them.) There’s a reason OIG inspectors come unannounced.

Since I've basically gone conspiracy-brained as a result of the past 6 months, I can't help wondering if Musk did this knowing it would happen; from the perspective of helping Online Safety Acts get a stronger foothold.
I want to highlight this important story by my friends @nbcnews.com - www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... "The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine." <-- the AI generated CSAM / NCII immediately escapes containment

"Under the 'Compromise Scenario', Denmark would agree to give Trump full military access to Greenland and deny access to Russia and China."
This is the status quo. We've had it since before Trump was born. It's the most open-ended "put whatever you want here" deal we have for any foreign territory.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The fundamental lie that immigrants are more criminal than American-born people is the fuel for the whole enterprise — and that enterprise is as strong as it is because Democrats have consistently helped *also* fuel this lie.
So now Dem senators are just espousing MAGA talking points about ICE?

Take a second to really think about this: After one of its agents murdered an American citizen, the Trump-Vance administration is now straight up ignoring the judicial branch's order to let the legislative branch conduct basic oversight over said agents.
NEW: After a tense standoff with armed agents, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison were blocked from entering the ICE HQ in Minnesota.
This is explicitly against a court ruling that officials must follow the law and let lawmakers conduct such oversight visits.

And remember this: the MAGA need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
alright last thing before i try to sign off for the day- but i think part of the reason they are getting more and more aggressive, the reason they keep sending in more troops is that the community defense is working.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.

Saw this yesterday after having not seen a Van Sant film for a long time and thought it had the feeling and energy of his earliest films. The script highlights the messiness and clear psychological issues of all of its characters without a lazy Both Sides-ing of its political and social themes.
Please see Gus van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, a hostage film & social tapestry that is "unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including Dog Day Afternoon,The Sugarland Express, Network and Badlands, and can stand proudly alongside any of them." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dead...

A thoughtful, bleakly funny 1970s drama that speaks to the current moment, and is equal to the many classics that inspired it.
