this is some fox's book of martyrs shit. jesus christ.
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Maybe this is only news to me, but my big takeaway is that we should be thanking Tooze for convincing Schumer before the onset COVID that the response to the 2008 crisis was paltry and we needed Big Fiscal during the next downturn.
He saved the economy!

everyone has focused on a couple of poorly-considered outbursts from Tooze in this piece but I think the whole thing is worth reading

Sorry if this is obtuse, but when does CBS News plan on airing the postponed story on CECOT?

LIV Golf is very close to death, or at least as close to death as you can be when your funders do not care about losing billions of dollars and could continue to do so forever. Sad. @slate.com on how we got here: slate.com/culture/2026...

This Might Have Been the Biggest Waste of Time and Money in the History of Golf
The PGA Tour is on the verge of finishing off LIV Golf for good.

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

You don’t need to know a single fact about Somali Americans to know the campaign against them is morally hideous. Either you can recognize that these campaigns are wrong a priori, or you are in your heart a racist.

Idiot. A Frenchman has no history in common with a German. Imagining they could create a country together is pure fantasy from a deracinated upper class.

Still think it’s weird they gave the fake Econ Nobel to a bunch of guys in 2024 for figuring out how bank runs work when George Bailey solved that problem way back in 1946

stay woke, read the British financial newspaper owned by a Japanese stock market index and media conglomerate
Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.

I think it’s pretty bad that the president and White House staff write on the level of a sixth grader
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.
