His speech with all the citations and links... aka the receipts: www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/speeche...

Feels like a scene from a future documentary.

The facts outlined in detail, but to an empty room.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

There is one reporter who championed him above others and is now making a career claiming they warned people, including Obama, about him.

Glad to see some people aren’t buying their gaslighting, based on the comments.

This is actually common in journalism.

If I were to ever write a book about the industry, it would be able the people newspapers first put in charge of creating their web presences.

It was a bunch of misfits but also disliked assholes they didn’t know what to do with.

Real ones know this amazing guy.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

I’ve never seen anything like this. My mind is blown. I have so many questions. How did they do it?!? It’s insane.

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
