Antisemitic attacks, from Brooklyn to West Bloomfield, are hitting far too close to home.

Jews deserve to pray, and study, and send their kids to preschool without fear of violence, just like everybody else does. We will not cower in fear. And we will stand up to hate together. (3/3)

Utah authorities arrested a man because he had dried pinto beans. They thought it was drugs. By the time they realized it was beans, they dropped charges, but it was too late: ICE had found and detained him.

AI Lobbyists Are Flying Congressional Staffers Around the Country on Luxury Trips The Innovative Future Collective, packed with corporate lobbyists for AI industry giants like OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, has been paying for House and Senate staff trips to San Francisco, Los Ang...

Schumer's fundraisers at Fulkerson Kennedy & Co. tapped lobbyists for OpenAI, a16z, and others to send congressional staffers on junkets to S.F. and London.

The AI companies involved are already spending millions against Dems via super PACs and will spend hundreds of millions more in 2026 races.

I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.

Okay, all the obvious β€œwtf” stuff aside, this isn’t even what they say it is?

(Good or popular) writers are not guaranteed to be good editors.

In fact, most of them are good & popular because of a good editor.

So it’s not offering β€œediting” advice.

It is telling you how to mimic the writer.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

Big Tech’s Affordability Fight is Finally Here Tech giants used the affordability of their services as a shield against scrutiny. In the AI era, that shield is breaking down, Issie Lapowsky reports.

The real cost of data centers for consumers is becoming a political sticking point. β€œInformation may want to be free, but it turns out infrastructure is expensive, now more so than ever,” reports Issie Lapowsky.

JACOBS: Are we at war with Iran?

COLBY: We're in a military action

JACOBS: Yesterday, Trump said 'we're doing very well on the war front' and previously he said, 'we should expect casualties because that often happens in war.' So is he wrong?

COLBY: I'm not the right person to weigh in

Chris's conviction was overturned & he's been out of Angola since November, but the state is *still* trying to reinstate his guilty verdict & death sentence. The family of the girl he was accused of killing now believes deeply in his innocence & has filed a remarkable amicus brief:

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

OK, I rarely get into this position, but I did. I archivebossed rather close to the son and won this auction. Everything in it gets digitized. That's unique and beautiful but I'm on the hook for a hurtful amount of money. Something told me this was worth it.

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime?

NOEM: She did not. She's with her family

LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Marimar Martinez says says it's "even worse" if Noem truly does not know about her shooting
"She's the leader of DHS and one of her agents attempted to kill me, a U.S. citizen on the streets of Chicago.Β It was reported in every national news outlet for months. Does she not read the newspaper?"

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.
