Warm news from cold Kyiv: fuel has arrived to Kyiv hospitals! Wonderful people have answered my call for help: Chef José Andrés and Yuliya Stefanyuk from World Central Kitchen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.They will provide 500 tons of fuel for Kyiv hospitals. Incredible.

Funny how that works

Jack Smith still wants to speak in public: In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump — asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

Since helping Trump return to power, the Supreme Court’s GOP majority has permitted a long list of his lawless actions, using its shadow docket to back him roughly 90 percent of the time.

Whatever we do for the most vulnerable, we do for God, and whatever we withhold from them, we withhold from God. That's scriptural (Matthew 25), and it means that for me right now - Jesus is locked inside the Broadview Concentration Camp.

A must read investigation from my colleagues Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser. Tierra’s medical care received under Texas’ abortion ban shows how dangerous pregnancy can be. Complications from the pregnancy resulted in her tragic death and no doctor offered termination

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Good point

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

"President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement crackdown has hit a disgusting new low, after federal agents reportedly pepper-sprayed a 1-year-old in Chicago and then lied about it."

Leaked footage from inside an ICE detention facility near Houston. No beds, no bathrooms, hundreds of men, women, and children in one combined cell/room. They are kept in freezing conditions.

Reminding us what a President can be.

Dear Senators Shaheen, Hassan and King: While I disagree with the deal you negotiated, I respect you. But GOP Senators do not respect you. They spat in your faces by secretly including a corrupt provision to pay 8 GOP Senators. I request that you reverse this provision in Jan.

Brandon Silverman explains how many social media platforms have made their data — and therefore their role in any number of societal concerns within the public interest — increasingly opaque by limiting access to researchers, even as they sell that same data to companies.

As @ryanjreilly.com has been reporting, Trump appointee Carl Nichols unilaterally decided to conduct voir dire in sandwich thrower Sean Dunn's trial over husher phones, so no one can follow along. This is fairly insane. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One of my students asked to take home an extra breakfast for her mom and an extra lunch for her dad, in case you’re wondering how the loss of SNAP benefits is affecting kids.

In any case, I'd love to read a piece interviewing Mike Johnson's constituents. Louisiana has nearly 800,000 SNAP recipients and the food pantries in his district hub of Shreveport are already scrambling to make up the difference. I bet there will be some stories there.

The Trump admin is considering designating Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization. Thomas E. Brzozowski argues this move would create an unprecedented expansion of counterterrorism authorities into the domestic political space and threaten civil society. www.justsecurity.org/122643/antif...

This is correct. His cult keeps saying “well, he was elected president, he doesn’t have to follow the rules now” but the correct attitude is “well, he was elected president, and therefore he has to follow the rules.” He even swore an oath to do that. Honest!

Such deranged, casually fascist shit.

3. Trump's pardon for CZ came after Binance structured a $2 billion investment with USD1, a Trump-backed cryptocurrency. The transaction is expected to result in tens of millions of annual profits for Trump and his family.

Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them. So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

Attended panel on what’s up with US at Oxford featuring my pal @antheabutler.bsky.social, author of WHITE EVANGELICAL RACISM, & queer historian Colin Johnson. Kinda thing that might normally be sleepy, a few history nerds. So packed there was no standing room. People are alarmed.

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Trump Admits Americans Didn’t Vote for His Military Crackdowns www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

News in Colombia reports that Alejandro Carranza, a career fisherman pictured below, was one of the people Trump killed when he blew up his boat.

The president wrote down on a piece of paper that he can break the nation's foundational law of the separation of powers, and credulous or possibly complicit journalists in the paper of record printed that baseless claim as fact.

I will not call these “detention facilities“ anymore. They’re concentration camps. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it’s likely a duck.

Maintaining our right to public protest is essential for defeating dictatorship. A few reminders for this Saturday's monumental 'No Kings' event.

“I’m trying to put this delicately,” Perry said. “There has been evidence submitted that the very presence of federal agents, that the way they’re interacting with the populace, is itself the cause of violence.” { gift article } wapo.st/4nJP5sQ

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

I hate “anTEEfa.” Shut the fuck up y’all are so annoying.
