Holy shit they called that grounding and didn’t call the earlier one from Goff???

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

👀 More on the ad work Ben Yoho’s Strategy Group was responsible for: youtube.com/shorts/96R4v...

Ah. Ben Yoho was behind the Vivek attack ad against Amy Acton. Before that, as head of the Strategy Group, he was profiting off his close connection with Kristi Noem at DHS. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

I didn’t think the most despicable political ad in decades could get even worse…

“Toxic Empathy” author Allie Beth Stuckey is now asking for folks to understand that ICE has separated a good man from his family over a paperwork issue.

Oh

Brew Crew!! Ghost of Cecil Cooper rejoices

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

I approve this message

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them

We used to have a federal survey that measured hunger in America, but the Trump administration stopped conducting the survey right after the bill that cut food assistance was passed.

She has been covering the Ukraine war for years, relentlessly portraying the toll, sometimes pushing back on narratives fired up by the Trump admin and its acolytes. Her name is Shelby Wilder. And she’s a full time correspondent for .. Newsmax. My column in CJR www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

This VF excerpt isn’t written carefully or seriously. It doesn’t explicate sourcing or cite documents. Kushner offered a detailed on-the-record denial. It may be true but I’m not prepared to buy it yet.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

When we did this story on Jeff Yass, his flack spent a great deal of time insisting that Yass wasn't MAGA and objected to things like Jan 6: www.propublica.org/article/jeff...

Everything these guys do to avoid the billionaire’s’ tax is going to radicalize people to vote for it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...

Today we launch the first episode of my podcast. I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020. Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence. Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

Hell of a story: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u... Tea leaf reading: They all have compromat on each other and are going to start leaking. (My Signal is open Ric & Alina.)

Over on Xitter, btw, the same DOJ that searched Ilhan Omar's house 21 days before an election is WAILING that @propublica.org published a story about a Black Democrat and a dead guy 14 days before an election.

One of my party tricks is telling out-of-towners how many things my daughter had to do to navigate the absolutely insane NYC high school application process. Excellent @michellegoldberg.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/o...

Very curious as to who paid for this ad as I think they might be the single worst person to ever live. tiffinohio.net/posts/acton-...

New story: In 2025, the FBI was examining the actions of Sen Lindsey Graham, Rep. Jim Clyburn, and Rep. Joe Wilson as part of a sweeping bribery probe. Then Trump’s campaign of retribution demolished public corruption investigations. www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Sometimes you just gotta sit back and say: He nailed it.

Some facts about the 28 people charged today: - Every one was a lawful permanent resident. - 4 of the 28 are accused only of registering, and not voting, and only 22 are accused of voting in 2024. - The median and average age is 50 - 22 noncitizen voters = 0.0001% of the California 2024 electorate.

Like what are we doing? Taunting? It’s two guys jawing. It’s football. They’re competing. It’s the fourth quarter. You just can’t call that on third down.

Crawford is CBS’s chief legal correspondent and has been a vocal acolyte to the Bari Weiss regime. She was also part of the Ellison dinner “honoring the Trump White House.”

NEW: Ukrainian troops were caught off guard by restrictions on Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials tell me.

Before he trashed it with the Ilhan Omar search, AG Blanche was quite passionate about DOJ's 60-day rule against "actions that may have an impact on an election," which must "never be countenanced." And that was just a judge-ordered filing in a case indicted more than a year before the election.

Wow, the world’s oldest shipwreck found off coast of Turkey! “A time capsule at the bottom of the sea” 🌊 A trade ship heading for Troy or Minoan Crete sank with a cargo of storage jars. Residue tests will show what they contained c. 4,700 years ago! #Archaeology www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Troy Jackson to Susan Collins: "In light of the article last week from ProPublica, I'm shocked that you're up here talking about fraud, because there's only one person up here that's been accused of that by the FBI."

Bari Weiss' handpicked foreign editor referred to the allegations facing Benjamin Netanyahu as a "sideshow" and told correspondent Holly Williams she was "wrong" to try to mention them in her story, per leaked audio I obtained of Tuesday's heated internal meeting. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

Trump brought more destruction to DC this weekend, ordering the cutting of 400 mature trees before courts could stop it. Same tactic as when he knocked down the East Wing. Riverbend Landscapes & Tree Service of VA did the cutting. They knew it was wrong. And you can let them know how you feel. 1/

Most top economics essentially missed the rise in wealth inequality that started in the 80s and the obsolescence of the income tax until the 2010s. Instead they were peddling stuff like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall%E2...

In case you aren't knee-deep in the latest MAGA conspiracy theory, this is a response to the "bombshell" that James Talarico spent the past week-plus secretly seeking treatment at an Ohio mental health facility, and a GOP operative broke the case with a late-night phone call.
