While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor.

He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.

After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.

I'm reminded of the words of MLK:

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

Column: The Epstein files are off the front page, but far from yesterday's news The repercussions from Jeffrey Epstein's decades-long criminal enterprise will continue to be felt for a long, long time.

The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.
Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

House Republicans are not working again this week because they are down at Trump’s golf club in Miami.

I listed to this Sunday!!! Thank you for shedding light on this!!! Where can we watch this documentary?

The story behind the BBC refusing to air a documentary about Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. Why?

This week on Reveal, we team up with @kcrw.com to tell the story of the film the BBC didn't want you to see:

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it.  On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned.  Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right.  "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Screenshot of The Guardian ‘The cover-up is brazen’: one journalist’s tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell Lucia Osborne-Crowley has endured threats and sexual harassment to report on Jeffrey Epstein’s chief enabler. Maxwell’s conviction was only the start of the quest for justice, she says

🚨 'This is her frustration: the coverage centres Epstein, Maxwell & Windsor & tries to unpack their psychology & connections, finding it easier to talk about political corruption than sexual abuse. The human collateral gets lost, as does the survivors’ agency.'

Dear NPR editors: Again, this man is not an activist. He's a right-wing extremist. He conducts undercover video surveillance to coerce and extort people. His targets are harassed, and threatened with death at times. STOP treating these people with kids gloves.

Federal workers sue over sting operations by political provocateur James O'Keefe Federal employees have been losing their jobs after sting operations engineered by political provocateur James O'Keefe. Now some of them are fighting back in court.

Dear NPR editors: Stop with the semantics and write headlines that are truthful and descriptive. This man is not a political provocateur, he is a right-wing extremist propagandist. He lies & produces lies to deceive the public. You & the MSM have contributed to this mess.

All of it. Fox Propaganda is shameless in deceiving its viewers. Even a $787.5 million settlement for deceiving its viewers didn't slow them down a second.
