It's a new day, and that means a new batch of Verge articles are completely free to read (until tomorow).

First up, from @joshdzieza.bsky.social: The world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack.

The briefing with Hegseth and Rubio only reaffirmed what we already knew: the Trump Administration is in clear violation of domestic and international law—and our own Constitution.

At today's Railroad Commission meeting, residents of Cheek, TX (outside Beaumont) voiced their concerns about carbon sequestration projects. West Texas rancher Schuyler Wight also spoke about the risks in the Permian. This comes shortly after Texas got primacy for Class VI injection wells.

I like presidents who don’t spread lies during tragedies. Seriously, Trump is a reprehensible piece of shit.

🎯 CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER @oliverma2026.bsky.social: “The detention centers are run by private prison companies (like @CoreCivic) — they make millions PER PERSON… that’s why they’re looking for anybody brown, so they can keep stealing from taxpayers.”

i understand your desire to use policy to reduce traffic fatalities but have you considered the possibility that trying to improve discrete aspects of society without first fixing all of society itself is problematic???

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas.

In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station."

The people who are signing up for ICE are the same people who would have hunted runaway slaves in the 1800's.

Yeah, dude, fascism in a liberal democracy isn’t conservative. There hasn’t been a conservative movement to speak of since Trump came on the scene.

This dense person does not grasp that he is admitting that he had tons of information information about Robert F. Kennedy, relevant to, eg, his Senate confirmation, but is only revealing it now, to talk about himself.

The point is to use activist students to purge schools of teachers and staff who are not Party supporters. This is all very Soviet.

I wish all my Catholic family and friends had this kind of dedication to their true faith. So many are Trump Catholics disguised as Jesus followers. Many don't even realize it.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

Representative Adelita Grijalva went to lunch and came across an ICE raid. Even after telling them she was a member of congress, the thugs pepper sprayed her.

Her question: if they treat a member of congress this way, how are they treating the defenseless people they kidnap?
