I wrote about the reporting on Senator Susan Collin's alleged pay-to-play scandal, and how it makes me optimistic about journalism in 2026 America. Excerpt below, subscribe here to read it for free on Monday: lni.media

Decided to revive Soundtracker today after putting it on hold for 2 years because of my dad's health. The first episode of the new season is live, wherever you listen to podcasts. Here's some links: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... open.spotify.com/show/4C8paGq...

kat have i told u about the humble potato

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

"Those in power may pretend not to know where the present political trajectories are taking us, but they seem to sense that they’ll have to hide." www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...

This is all accurate but I do want to note it was two Nazi salutes, plural. Everyone always forgets Musk did a Nazi salute to the crowd behind him too.

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

“My administration was able to find a lot of common ground with Pedotopia. Other presidents have tried, but this is the first time anyone has succeeded.” said President Donald Trump

But wait, there’s less

Donald Trump just threatened to blow up an entire civilization. Congress is not powerless to stop this — it's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.   Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

If my dad’s final breath was like a period, the end of a story, then his preceding descent into dementia was more of an ellipsis: a perpetual trailing-off, leading to unexpected twists and challenges, each more devastating than the last. www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

Lotta men getting emotional and angry over at the bad place about this post

New at CBS News - American forces join Ecuadorian troops in mission targeting alleged narco-terrorists. The mission focused on a compound believed to serve as a staging ground for high-speed boats linked to Los Choneros, a Ecuadorian criminal organization www.cbsnews.com/news/us-comm...

Reenacting a story by Defense Secretary Hegseth.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

My interview with Jane Fonda on Hollywood mergers, her friend David Ellison, and saving the First Amendment from her friend and his dad, Larry, up now @thenation.com: www.thenation.com/article/acti...

NEW: Several FBI special agents tied to the 2022 search of Trump's Mar A Lago estate have been fired, three sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News. The firings days after FBI Director Kash Patel took heat over his locker room celebration at the Olympics.

In his first testimony before a federal jury, Mark Zuckerberg stuck to a playbook of corporate talking points. But he didn't seem to expect references to his last Joe Rogan interview or a question about what exactly "addictive" means.

This is why i stay out of white peoples business

What the fuck is he talking about? I mean, I love bluegrass and southern food. But as a Tennessean, I’m comfortable saying that no one comes to America lured by the promise of Appalachian culture.

Reminder that Alex Taylor’s delusional belief that OpenAI had “murdered” his GPT4o companion precipitated the violent breakdown that ended with his suicide by cop. For some of these people, the consequences of losing this sycophantic model will be severe. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Published my first piece at @wired.com today, about a string of AI thrillers that have bombed (most recent being the hopelessly naive Chris Pratt vehicle 'Mercy'), the backlash to Darren Aronofsky's YouTube slop take on the American Revolution, and a grotesque nostalgia-bait Super Bowl ad:

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets. A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

lol why is this ice agent so little youtube.com/shorts/0kTF9...

X is hiring a creative writing specialist at $40 an hour to make Grok better at writing and a true LOL at the qualifications

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Interestingly, the best thing from last weekend's SNL is this clip that was cut for time and posted on a Tuesday night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA8O...

Thanks to Donald Trump and his obsession with seizing Greenland, it appears that America is now in a cold war with the very European allies who came to the country’s aid following 9/11. Tell me if/why I am wrong.

Every day Kristi Noem continues to lead DHS is another day our communities suffer at the hands of her lies and incompetence. Now is not the time to be silent. Congress must act. bit.ly/3NmZttn

When masked ICE agents can shoot and kill anyone with impunity, solely because their egos are bruised, we must demand accountability. This administration is out of control. We need to stop funding DHS and ICE thugs. We need justice for Renee Good and all ICE's victims now.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely. youtu.be/R9XN1iOungs?...

The dad of the kids I used to nanny got remarried and I was a groomsman. We got the photos back. Me and the boys look like we’re auditioning for a buddy cop film or the runway.
