an excerpt from the first 12 pages of my upcoming book 'How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza'. It publishes in a week but evidently copies are already shipping, so
Nobody has given more aid and comfort to health and welfare fraudsters than Donald J. Trump, a new Protect Our Care report shows. He's pardoned executives responsible for more than $3 billion in fraud.

I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year.
Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical.
So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:
Absolutely no reason we can’t do this also
🚨MASTER PLAN SEASON 2 IS HERE🚨
Unearthing never-before-seen documents, we expose the secret plot to turn the presidency into a king.
Trump is the culmination of a 50-year plan.
You may think you know the story, but you don't. It's been secret - until now.

I was in Nebraska last week, where the Strait of Hormuz crisis is hitting home on family farms that can't afford to fertilize the crops.
That, plus a looming aluminum shortage, in the latest edition of Aftermath, our pop-up newsletter on the consequences of the war.

the aerial view of destruction, seeing places that i've spent so much precious time in being literally erased by Israeli bombs while i'm far away, feels like a physical assault on memory itself.
After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them.
"We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category"

For our May + June 2026 issue, Mother Jones explores the roots and reach of Silicon Valley’s biggest merger ever and the implications of Big Tech’s quest for an AI revolution, which is already upending our world.
A person in a medical gown sits on an examination table, facing a nurse holding a tablet. A transparent screen between them shows logos of Abridge, Palantir, Anthropic, and OpenAI, with options labeled "Consent," "Agree," and "Submit." The image includes the National Nurses United logo and text saying, "A.I. GETS IN THE WAY. Don’t let A.I. come between you and your nurse.
Hospital corporations are spending obscene amounts on A.I. so they can reduce the costs of what we really need — the expertise of bedside nurses. 😡
When I think about California's gubernatorial race, theres one thing everyone needs to know about Democrat @xavierbecerra.bsky.social:
As California AG, he demanded the HHS secretary use an existing law to lower medicine prices - and then as HHS secretary he literally refused to do exactly that.
Eight months after the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in south Minneapolis, it's looking increasingly unlikely that any gun-reform measures will make their way through the Legislature this session.
RIGHT NOW -- Veterans are being arrested in #washingtondc after peacefully demanding an end to the War on Iran. @vetsaboutface
Sad to share that today is my last as investigative editor at ITT, following layoffs that affected about half the staff. For the immediate future I’ll be finishing a book about the Catholic right. Not sure what comes after that, but am open for job leads, freelancing, editing gigs, rich patrons, etc
"How Black Music Took Over the World" connects an enormous number of dots—sometimes literally, as when Gibbs utilizes clocklike circular figures to denote the many rhythmic workings under discussion.
Just leaving this here, and observing that some of the same influencers dunking on Mehdi Hasan right now are mentioned in this Wired article:
Hollywood has organized around blocking the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. Harold Meyerson writes that putting a film treasure up for sale was unwarranted and reveals the eclipse of enterprise capitalism by shareholder capitalism.

Shortages are on the horizon as prices skyrocket.
A news headline with the following text: The Slick As Prices Climb, California Imports More Gasoline Made From Russian Oil The state’s failure to reduce driving and to stockpile fuel led to dependence on sanctioned oil refined elsewhere. A photo of tankers in the Port of LA is the featured image.
NEW STORY!
As a heat wave hit the West and the price of a gasoline gallon rose sharply, California faced the pain of dependence on climate-warming oil priced by the global market.
As refineries close, the state is getting a lifeline from a surprising source: Fuel imports made from Russian oil. 🧵:

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
A difficult concept to navigate properly is that *testing* is itself a major problem in education (most exemplified by the No Child Left Behind testing regimes. This can mean that the very tests revealing declines in learning are themselves part of what is causing the decline.
Screenshot of an X post from @clashreport: Trump posted a video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way”. “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain… Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention… I did it my way.”
I do AV work for a funeral home and this is one of the most common song choices. It seems to be one of those songs that elderly boomers and silent generation folks turn to as they’re thinking about death.
sorry, meant to say the reduction in workforce. re the poll, it's weird that there doesn't appear to be any English-language reporting on prior iterations of the survey (as it relates to this specific question.) so the big question I have is if there was a methodology change.
sorry, do we know the educational level? I'm asking because I'm guessing that a big portion were managers and highly skilled workers. As in the reduction could be explained by displacement and not a reduction in interest
what were the demographics of the Taiwanese migrant worker population on the mainland in the peak years?
highly recommend this book by Adam Johnson of @citationspod.bsky.social, which soberly lays out the hard data of the discourse that center-left media has decided is acceptable, in which Palestinians are not allowed humanity
