A former staffer at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, raised eyebrows on Thursday after analysts viewed his "arrogant" deposition tape.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
Unbefuckinglievable. “It’s not because she’s not doing the job,” Le, a married mother of three, said of her decision to challenge Omar. “It’s just for what I could bring to the table.”
tough look for a man with a line of antiperspirant deodorant
what does julie t le think she can do - as a freshman congresswoman! - to fix the immigration system's failures that ilhan omar can't do better? all we know about julie is being an ICE lawyer! i see no community backing for her, yet she's in the NY times? CURIOUS!

how much overtime was accrued by hennepin county sheriff's office deputies doing crowd control at the whipple building?
The prophecies were true.
This morning’s walk was curtailed by one participant’s back problems but #sophiefromromania was good enough not to bark and lunge across the road at the sight of other dogs
If you ever wondered whether or not you can believe Axios: probably not; they have not bothered to fact check.
Here's a statement that was released by someone in Minnesota that's saying the EXACT OPPOSITE of what's reported here! 😏
This is false.
Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.
Holy crap I had a bad source. Here's Wanda
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
Attorneys at the Education Department’s civil rights office describe working in a “dismissal factory.”
Most discrimination complaints filed by students’ families have been dismissed without ever being investigated, records show.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
DIG!!!!
I’ve got great stories about this one 😂🥰
#SophiefromRomania had her most sociable day yet - after surprising us by hanging out with our lunch guests she submitted to a tummy rub in the evening when local friends came round
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Things in Minnesota have resumed to the point where Trump-appointed judges can act like Trump-appointed judges again
Mmmm, yes, very deep, much philosophical wow, let me counter with:
The people building concentration camps will always be my enemy
Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises.
Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found.

John Oliver on right, mid-speech. On left, a ProPublica headline dated December 17, 2025 reads: “Inside the Trump Administration’s Man-Made Hunger Crisis.” Below it, an article excerpt reads: “Pregnant women … so desperate for calories that they ate mud.”
3/ Finally, Oliver brought up our reporting on how cuts to aid caused an American-made hunger crisis.
At one refugee camp, mothers had to choose which of their children to feed, and pregnant women were so desperate for calories that some resorted to eating mud: propub.li/4bzIaPi
On right, John Oliver talking to the viewer. On left, a ProPublica headline from February 15, 2025 says: “Trump Official Destroying USAID Secretly Met With Christian Nationalists Abroad in Defiance of U.S. Policy.” An article excerpt below says: "... where he attempted to delay or halt dozens of programs …”
2/ Oliver later referred to our reporting about former USAID lead Peter Marocco.
Officials told us they saw Marocco’s gutting of the agency as a campaign of retribution against those who opposed his foreign policy agenda in the first Trump administration: propub.li/47CkZ4u
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”
1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight.com about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.
First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP
