The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
Stephen Colbert Rips Trump With Kendrick Lamar-Inspired ‘Pope Diss Track’: ‘They Not Pious’ #Mediaite
Two years ago, we devoted an entire issue to the rise of a new American oligarchy. Since then, this system has only become more entrenched, ever concentrated around a crew of tech titans going all in on AI.
Our newest cover story investigates these new AI overlords and their consolidation of power.
Remember a few weeks ago when soldiers were sharing photos of steak and lobster?
The military gets like a trillion dollars and if we ever got to audit them, I'd bet a good chunk of those taxpayer dollars are going nowhere near the armed forces.
Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Disgusting.
This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.
Good riddance
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
Was not expecting this. Gonzales will also resign from Congress.
Some of you stan politicians too much (and shocker, me a journalist who is Jewish would be critical of a tattoo that is associated with Nazis.)
France is switching from Microsoft to Linux
"We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

The investigation comes after CNN reported a former staffer accused Swalwell of sexually assaulting her in 2024, though Swalwell has denied the woman’s account.
So is Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade like his Cuba blockade where Russia still gets to go through whenever it wants, or…?
May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.
Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
Eric Swalwell is no longer taking contributions on ActBlue. Which either means he has shut down his campaign on ActBlue or ActBlue has kicked him off.
Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address.
Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams.

This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
We got hit with a community standards violation for posting links asking you to contact businesses about the Forest Service dismantling. But it worked Patagonia listened. Because of the issue on FB, we’re building a dedicated website for that kind of action. We’re hoping to have it live by Monday!
FOX: We can confirm that the second crew member of the downed F-15E fighter jet has been rescued, and that he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran
Why does the American tax system favor the wealthy? And how did it get this way? I chatted with Jon Stewart about this back in 2012. Sadly it's only gotten worse since then. We must keep up the fight to fix the system.
"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"
These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.
Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.
I'm gonna hold my fellow Gen Xers hand when I tell you it was NEVER normal for grown men to date teens.
You weren't "fast" or "mature" you were preyed upon.
It wasn't on us to be the responsible person in these interactions.

Stephen Miller urged Department of Homeland Security agents to “force confrontations” with protesters in Minneapolis.
Too many people in the U.S. think they might be rich one day and they simply will not.
