Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed His Secret Negotiations—Including More Than $700 Million In Transfers

Energy Secretary Wright is campaigning with Ken Paxton today in Texas. A reminder that government officials partaking in campaign events should not be normal.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

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. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

(THR) - TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. .. raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

"The Pentagon has named one of its own public affairs officials to run the publication Stars & Stripes, and he will keep his Pentagon job while doing it. This places a single official inside both the office that shapes the military's message, and the newsroom charged with covering it independently"

To give a sense of scale, Musk is spending more on the midterms than he was on the 2024 election, and he was the biggest donor in that election. In 2025 he promised to pull back from politics and do much less political spending. Another lie.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Chris Rufo: “We launched the Claudine Gay plagiarism story from the Right to smuggle into media apparatus of Left, legitimizing narrative to center-left actors power to topple her” NYT editors: Claudine Gay in "top 5 featured on New York Times homepage Dec 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25"

Not to repeat the obvious, but this is literally lawless behavior that makes a mockery of the Constitution and judicial system, should result in contempt prosecution for anyone involved, and disbarment of any lawyers

BOMBSHELL: WaPo reports Trump's ads were funded with money meant for slain officers' funerals youtu.be/GwqOZ0eaoDI?...

This tragedy occurred on a street where the county recently completed a “pedestrian safety” project, but which local advocates pushed back against due to the lack of physical traffic calming & bike infrastructure. The warnings were ignored.

The Plot to Enslave America is real and this is it. They're going for it unless we stop them

Here's a graphic that does a better job of conveying the point than my original post: even by the (insane) standards of the first Trump administration, #SCOTUS is receiving—and granting—a truly unprecedented number of applications for emergency relief from the federal government:

So confused. How was Pro Publica able to uncover and report this bribery scandal and administration cover-up without being at the White House and having the president assuring them they are stupid piggies? hhttps://www.propublica.org/article/fbi-susan-collins-navatek-campaign-donations-investigation

Some people think all that we work on at @bikeeastbay.bsky.social are protected bikeways, b/c that's what gets media attention. But we also obsess over the minute details of painted bike lanes, trails, & bike boulevards to get as much as possible out of every project.

The East Bay's newest separated bikeway is ready to ride, covering 0.2 miles of Portola Ave in Livermore. This was installed as a quick-build alongside routine paving, along w a slip turn lane closure on Enos at Portola using recycled plastic curb stops.

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

Breaking News: President Trump said he would cancel a $257 million renovation of the Kennedy Center if his name wasn’t added to the building.

🚨 Patel admits agents will be deployed to polling places 👇 WELCH: I thought you weren't going to be sending people to the polls? PATEL: Nope W: So you are sending FBI agents? P: We have election crisis coordinators manned at all 56 field offices. Election integrity is of paramount importance

NEW: Remember Don Jr’s wedding ceremony? In the Bahamas… Fireworks, dancers… “Just really close friends,” Don Jr. said. Well, guess who paid for hundreds of thousands of dollars of it? A Russian oligarch who is close to Putin. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

A really cool new TSP operation was added this week for the EB Route A. When the EB bus gets the green at Segoe & Sheboygan, an SCP detector gets turned on at Segoe & Frey, Segoe & University, and University & Midvale. Each doing different things to help the EB bus.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

In an interview with the AP, DiGenova walks back his earlier comment that there is “no evidence” in the grand conspiracy case. He now says there is “plenty of evidence.”

Just heard the entire opinion team at Sacramento Bee—except the editor—also got laid off. I was the opinion editor at The Bee from 2018-2021. All gone.

Ok, not only was the intent what I thought, but “doctors and engineers” is in fact a well-known (mostly European) sarcastic trope used to demean immigrants. The “joke” being that of course we all know, ha ha, these inferior peoples would never occupy such roles. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/doctors...

I've read countless numbers of bad opinions from judges in my time. This is one I'll remember for how constantly it combines shallowness with ambitious stupidity.

Dancing very very VERY close to saying “OpenAI stole our almost-complete proof of Navier-Stokes from internal access to our ChatGPT sessions because they were desperate to scoop Anthropic” which is absolutely 100% a believable thing OpenAI would do right now cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st...

OpenAI claimed their model had a breakthrough in a longstanding mathematical problem, but this scientist says that they basically stole his work

Unprecedented corruption www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Somebody in the room needs the institutional authority to say: “Mr. President… what the fuck is wrong with you?” Apparently that position wasn’t included in the staffing plan.

A very annoying reality is that as a result of Senate malapportionment and gerrymandering the optimal strategy in the tipping point seats in the legislature (where most attention and money goes) are for Dems to say "I am a bipartisan problem solver" and for Republicans to say "Dems suck"

Could you ever imagine you’d exist in a world where the president of the United States would refer to the number of fallen US soldiers as “small potatoes”?

“We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries” — Trump’s bonkers view of trade is that you become wealthy by not engaging in commerce
