Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

Soldier Details Chilling Messaging From Higher-Ups About β€˜God’s Plan’ In Iran: β€˜It Shocked Many Of Us’ One commander had a β€œbig grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump β€œhas been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran," a service member said.

No, the US Bombing of Iran is NOT β€˜Part Of God’s Divine Plan’.

Sorry they've been let go. Budget cuts and all...
But they were underperforming anyway, so not a great loss.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

The ongoing issue of LLM training chipping away at copyright is exhausting. So many writers whose work has been stolen to train these LLMs responded to the government's consultation, and with every single question it was made abundantly clear that our views & rights didn't matter. Just our words.

I think you mean "the dire consequences of decisions made a Maralago"...

1. On January 23, Crypto.com donated $5 million to MAGA Inc, Trump's primary Super PAC. (The donation was first disclosed in a FEC filing Friday night.)

Less than 1 month later, on February 17, the Trump administration intervened on Crypto.com's behalf in a high-stakes federal lawsuit.

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
β€œThere was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: β€œI’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled β€œBrown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN β€œLIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

MAGA’s β€˜Omelet’ Excuse for DHS Thuggishness They admit that mass deportation is impossible without egregious abusesβ€”but want it to go ahead anyway.

β€œIt has become clear that Donald Trump’s mass-deportation regime cannot be sustained without a repressive state machinery that endangers the lives and tramples the rights of legal residents and citizens of the United States, just as critics had been warning.”

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Thank you, Jesse Welles for speaking truth to power. When it's done through music, it has a lasting power and magic.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely β€œescape” to the roof of police HQ and β€œcommit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
