The Army obligated another $40.2M to Hadrian, a 1789 Capital company where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner. Signed in July but only now public on USASpending, under DoD's 90-day reporting delay

Important research for these times. Infants typically do not receive measles vax until 1 year. This study shows that any protection they have from their mother wanes by 6 months, leaving them vulnerable. With measles cases surging–this year already has double the cases of last–this is a nightmare.

So if you're a federal employee, it sounds like you have the grounds for a massive class action lawsuit.

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

12-days in the suit to stop Trump from converting a historic DC golf course, open to all, to a Trump-style championship course. 2 days ago, DOJ attys called Trump's plan "nascent." Today Trump launched his plan & said the existing course closes on 11/15.

President Trump wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have: the right to hold an employer accountable when retirement savings are mishandled. Watch @amoghvaz.bsky.social break it down 👇

We banned overdraft fees. Donald Trump brought them back.

I am a type 1 diabetic, and last night Dexcom forced me to agree to a new terms of use in order to continuing using the app and view my blood glucose data. Glad I had the foresight to "view agreements" and then copy the entire document. Because there appears to be NO WAY TO VIEW IT AGAIN. And...

In these frightening times, UFW staff is out in the fields talking to workers and sharing know your rights info including these "red cards." We're also watching for ICE activity on rural roads and sharing guidance with both union and non-union farm workers.

the damage Musk has already done to South Texas, to Padre, and Boca Chica in general almost doesn't bear comprehension the people, the turtles, the dolphins, the ocelots, the wildlife and the everything about this essential and gorgeous geography — they should not be for sale to this nazi fuck

I argued that that lawsuit by 9 FBI Agents fired bc they worked on the stolen documents case has an impeachment referral stuck in the middle of it. emptywheel.net/2026/10/16/t...

Truth 👇

This is the result of 7+ years of Trump's attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social, Somali-Americans, & the Muslim community. Everyone, regardless of party, must speak out against this fascistic abuse of power. If they can do this to a sitting Congresswoman, they can & will do it to anyone.

🎧It's NEW EPISODE DAY!🎧 Listen to "Susan Collins and the Case of the Disappearing FBI Probe": A defense contractor CEO told the FBI that he had bribed politicians — and that Sen.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Outrageous anti-democractic bigots on the loose!

So why did WaPo fail to cover this? And why did they cut this line from my letter? “The public deserves to know more about this 2nd phase of the NG deployment & whether they are intentionally targeting schools. Stars & Stripes reported this, but few details have been shared with the public” 11/

DOGE was basically: the Silicon Valley ownership class and their inner circle, and the foot soldiers hoping to get into that world. The foots oldiers had little govt experience, but would do exactly what Elon asked of them. Now they are reaping the rewards. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Demonizing Democracy The Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

Judge Reyes' opening statement to the DOJ as the hearing begins: "I am thoroughly unamused right now."

Senator Tammy Duckworth: "Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs."

More than 500 US citizens, some of whom served our country, being arrested for the color of their skin or the language that they spoke.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim

There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

Reporter: "What do you say to those who are struggling to afford gas, groceries, diesel?" Trump: You're losers. It's the greatest. If you're struggling in this economy, you're a loser. There's your midterm messaging from the GOP 🤬🤡🎪
