"Some of the most grievous charges ever leveled against a senior U.S. federal official..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/b...

Why is this not headline news??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

"Another example of people power overcoming an autocrat’s determined and systematic efforts to stack the electoral system in his favour..." www.ft.com/content/dde6...

NEW: A Florida cybersecurity company promised to help clients recover data from ransomware attackers. In a 2019 story, we found the company was making secret payments to hackers and pocketing hefty fees from clients. The CEO was just indicted for fraud.

I’ve only found Rachel Maddow and a few of her colleagues who follow this advice. American journalists seem addicted to Don and his minions

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

what a night

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section. (Published March)

The Trump administration has signed an oil deal with a Venezuelan energy baron who has faced money-laundering investigations in three countries. ProPublica reviewed a copy of the 18-page agreement.

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:

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

The attacks on Ilhan Omar are part of the federal government's ongoing effort to make equal membership in society depend on race, ancestry, and Trump’s singular will ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

What’s “wrong” for Trump is the idea that a Black and Muslim woman he deems inferior could come to the United States and be granted rights as his equal ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

How does one go from talking about a ballroom to bicycle lanes? The alliteration of it all? What is happening?

Susan Collins denied wrongdoing and claimed our reporting about an ex-CEO’s allegations against her took him at his word. That’s not true. Listen to how we reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records to independently corroborate key parts of his account:

Please vote for my pet in the Top Pets competition 🤩 toppets.com/v/dwbx7v Somehow Onyx has moved up to 24th!!! The race isn't over yet friends!!! Let's keep trying!!!

NEW: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from USPS’ cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

NEW: Hegseth's chaotic secret evacuation of a US base in Bahrain left military families in harm's way. “They’re not telling the truth. They’re not telling the full story. They’re not telling how much damage there really was." www.ms.now/news/militar...

Wishing a very happy birthday to the woman who should be President - Kamala Harris!

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Leya, a Cuban immigrant, said her boyfriend gave her a black eye and was arrested once before on suspicion of abuse. But after he called 911, she was the one who was detained by ICE, separated from their nursing daughter.

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I’ve finally figured it out! A cappuccino machine. AND pay for someone to do all the cleaning of the cappuccino machine with excellent benefits for that person.

NEW on “Paper Trail”: A defense contractor CEO told the FBI that he had bribed politicians — and that Susan Collins was his most important patron. Then Trump shut down an elite FBI anti-corruption unit. So we took it upon ourselves to investigate.

This year alone, New Yorkers have reported more than 188,000 incidents of domestic violence. That's 780 incidents every day. Countless others go unreported. If you or someone you love needs help, call 1-800-621-HOPE or visit on.nyc.gov/hotlinechat.

For my newsletter, I wrote about an HHS demand from RFK Jr to all the American medical associations demanding they clarify their stances on youth gender affirming care. It's the latest example of the Trump admin using their bully pulpit to target trans kids: www.burnsnotice.com/rfk-jr-deman...

Michigan law prohibits giving anything of value to induce someone to vote a particular way. Federal law also prohibits paying people to vote or register to vote. We hope Michigan election authorities investigate. Source: The Detroit News.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

We scoured social media, court records and local stories for instances of immigration agents holding citizens against their will. The administration doesn’t track these cases. So we have. We’re sharing our database with you.

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

We have to have a plan. This is untenable.

Military-base housing is “reserved for military who have earned those quarters from fighting in wars and defending our country... They should not be used for people in the White House. It’s an abuse.” www.vanityfair.com/story/stephe...

Harris County TX. He's hospitalized: "ICE claimed the man ran in front of the agents' vehicle and was struck. However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running the man over..." abc7.com/story/ice-ru...

When all these tradwife influencers start pivoting away from their alt-right branding in the next few years, never forget they were on this fascist bandwagon to line their pockets at the expense of every other woman in this country.
