GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

ICE told us it had no body camera footage from Chicago in response to our FOIA — even though a federal judge ordered them to wear cameras and turn them on.
So who is ICE lying to? Us, or the judge?

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as “Christmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

Reporter @dfriedman.bsky.social was working on a story about a top aide to Pete Hegseth. Then Pizzagate promoter Jack Posobiec threatened to write a scurrilous story about him. ow.ly/EpQp50XHpYo
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.
And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Across the country, Indivisible groups are organizing in solidarity with immigrant communities and against ICE, Border Patrol, and the regime's brutal deportation policies — in many cases, hitting the ground running within hours or even minutes of reports of ICE activity or court proceedings.
