They’re going to keep the government shut down until they completely erase Trump from the Epstein files, aren’t they?

Who’s doing the best independent journalism right now? I want to cancel my NYT sub and need better alternatives.

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump says "bad, sick" Democrats could have doctored the Epstein files to make him look bad. Great logic by Cheetolini. He's suggesting the Dems framed him, but forgot to release the dirt, let him win the election, and then quietly turned over the Epstein files to him.

At a press conference last month, the Attorney General of the United States publicized the claim that Abrego played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.

Today, more than a month later, the government’s own witness admitted that they haven’t been able to corroborate that allegation.

President Zelensky: "We were ready to accept every proposal — in one form or another — put forward by members of the Trump administration to both sides. We supported them all. Russia didn’t support a single one. So who doesn’t want to end the war?"

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

This quote is a whole sermon:
“In Revelation, the real threat to the church isn’t persecution—it’s assimilation. “Do not fear what you are about to suffer” (2:10), Jesus says to one church. The danger is not what the empire can do to Christians, but what Christians will become to avoid suffering.”

February 28, 2025 Today, President Donald Trump ambushed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in an attack that seemed designed to give the White House an excuse for siding with Russia in its war on Ukraine.

I urge everyone to read this account of what happened yesterday in the Oval Office by @hcrichardson.bsky.social. What's more shocking to me than Trump's and Vance's treatment of Zelensky is that there are Americans celebrating what they did. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-2...

A worthwhile 20 minute listen. Our leaders have abandoned our friends and thoroughly embarrassed themselves and our country. At least it was clear and stark so other countries can plan accordingly.
