I was a Theranos whistleblower. In ‘You Can See Everything,’ Elizabeth Holmes is still lying www.statnews.com/2026/10/19/e... via @statnews.com

"You Can See Everything" is definitely mind-bending. I don't know how they can legitimately call it a documentary, though?

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

The culture that produced this ad is the same culture that keeps publishing handwringing takes about therapists “pushing” adult children to go no contact with their parents, despite it being well established that childhood sexual abuse is common.

Fitch sued to overturn the 2020 election, led the state's case in Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health, and declined to defend the state's vaccination requirements. She's running for Governor of Mississippi in 2027.

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach. (Pub. July)

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht.

Goddamn they would be fucking launching an endless stream of TALAFREAKO merch out of a tee shirt cannon every day for the next three weeks if I was even within earshot of his campaign manager for ten seconds. What a gift to be given that sick-ass nickname by the worst guy alive.

She's simply going to hide in the corner of the human traffickers' rooms in the dark. Babadook situation, 90% fatality rate.

Honest question: Have there been ANY high-profile men driven from Trump II because of scandal? Because I know it’s not for a lack of male scandals.

How it’s going

An irony of this era is that Trump’s opponents and Trump share the same exact opinions about Trump supporters bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

In July, I took a ride through the Arizona desert with Verlon Jose, chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, a sprawling reservation on the U.S.-Mexico border that may soon be changed forever. It was the beginning of an investigation that ProPublica is publishing today. THREAD ⬇️

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

John Yoo is the legal architect of George Bush's Iraq War torture program. That UT Austin contracted this bloodthirsty freak to be part of the new right-wing Civitas Center is an inidication of the very dark path this university has started down.

Using data from The Deportation Project, L.A. TACO broke down the nearly 4,000 logged apprehensions in L.A. County by neighborhood and city. The full story: lataco.com/ice-kidnappi... By @eltragon.bsky.social

Update on this: ICE took down these reviews, which they initially posted. The site where they were now just says "not found." But @prospect.org downloaded the files when they were first available, and you can read them at our story.

Meta is tapping "into a tax credit intended for research and experimentation. It’s an aggressive interpretation of the tax break, which Meta embraced to claim billions of dollars in tax credits for data center expansion."

Incredible chutzpah from a Congress whose one major legislative act was a budget bill that among other things imposed significant new administrative burdens on Medicaid recipients

Brutal graphic on the amount of money everyone at Trump's AI roundtable contributed to Trump's Super PAC and vanity projects. It comes to $227 million. www.citizen.org/news/tech-ex...

According to all sources sneaking information out, this "permitting reform" bill will be the largest rollback of environmental laws in American history, affecting the Clean Water Act, NEPA, Tribal sovereignty, and more. All to benefit deeply unpopular AI hyperscalers and the fossil fuel industry.

John Arias raped his estranged wife. Her children (in the next room) heard it all. Then he kidnapped the kids & left her bound & gagged. As Governor, Pete Ricketts pardoned Arias (restoring his gun rights) without informing the victim. Even after Arias admitted threatening to kill her from prison.

Once these mountains are carved up and their aquifers depleted, there’s no putting them back together. The Patagonia Mountains are worth far more as a thriving ecosystem than they’ll ever be worth to a giant mining company. Full story 🔗➡️ bit.ly/4rEAUbv

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...
