"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting.
The piece chronicles Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration.

22 years ago I beat every single SEO expert in the world in the Google rankings with a single post on my blog, winning a global contest and earning the ire of that entire nascent industry. Nothing ever changes.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
ICE agent: “I fired 5 shots. She had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” 😳
Are you smarter than Mike Johnson? All signs point to yes.
Didn't this happen in My Cousin Vinny?
I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.
“The cybercrime division of the Paris prosecutor’s office is investigating X in relation to seven accusations, including complicity in distributing images of a child of pornographic nature, denial of crimes against humanity and fraudulent extraction of data…” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/w...
Every accusation is a confession.
we absolutely need to know who he sent this to. how is this something the public is being kept in the dark on???
Sweet Jesus let’s go!

We are serious about getting this on TV, but that also costs money.
If you want to see this on TV (maybe Fox News??), chip in any small dollar amount here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...
It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.
(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)
I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
Don't Boo...Revolt! @BreeNewsome Donald Trump is nearing the end of his natural life. And Democrats are making a multi-generational investment in ICE death squads while telling us the problem is Trump, who is simply the most recent evil old white man to occupy the office. Let's think about this.
Truth 😏
Email from Jeffrey Epstein: "supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage.. =C2 . she said she has a witness. in 1993"
I heard melania is worse than having a Vogon read poetry!
There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.
You're insane if you think this isn't going to happen. I bet you won't even believe it when it actually happens. You ever look back and realize how wrong you've been so far? Probably not.
You suck at math. They don't need to cover ALL the places, just the major ones that vote Democrat. The ones that really push the state blue.
I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.
Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.
This is ok tho
