This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
New Mayor, same monthly FOIL extension auto-response (going on three years) @mayor.nyc.gov
There are just so many of these stories now, and they all follow the same pattern. But that doesn't make any of them less gutting to read. www.propublica.org/article/nort...
"Too much money fucked us, basically."
FANTASTIC feature from @issielapowsky.bsky.social on how Tiger Global flooded the startup market with capital, and the wreckage it left behind.
Great data viz from @hazelgandhi.bsky.social & stunning art from Nicolas Ortega

The fast-money pandemic era helped build billion-dollar startups around the world — then brought many down just as quickly. Tiger Global helped usher in that era of fast money. Will the AI boom be a repeat? Read @issielapowsky.bsky.social feature in @restofworld.org

"And it puts more competitors at risk of disruption, partly due to venture-backed startups’ ability to dramatically undercut pricing. All this often comes before the startups can even prove that their business fundamentals actually work."
The fast-money pandemic era created a glut of unicorns around the world — then brought many down just as quickly.
For @restofworld.org, I wrote about the role that Tiger Global played in fueling this hype cycle and what it can teach us about the current AI boom. restofworld.org/2025/tiger-g...
Uh whoa? "Meta won an arbitration ruling against Wynn-Williams that bars her from promoting her tell-all memoir or saying anything 'disparaging, critical or otherwise detrimental' about Meta, **including in private remarks to her husband or children**..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
A totally fascinating deep dive by my pal @davey.bsky.social and her talented Bloomberg colleagues on the rising economy of MAGA-coded brands advertising on right-wing YouTube channels www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
Our brand new survey of immigrants in partnership with @nytimes.com explores immigrants views and experiences under the second Trump administration. It finds increased fear, health and economic challenges amid immigration enforcement, but a remarkable resilience as well

screenshot of the linkedin profile of former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain. It shows he worked at the White House with a photo of President Donald Trump as the thumbnail image
Oh dear just discovered that the White House's LinkedIn pic is now a photo of Trump, so for anyone who's ever listed the White House as their place of work, it shows up like this.
jealous of that analogy!!
(somehow missed this when 1st out!) Behind the scenes look at the problem I've named "Pollingism" in practice - data & testing are very useful, but you must know you can't wield a thermometer to change a tire.

According to Priorities USA post-election polling, "Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines."
NEW: One complaint I heard the most in 2024 was that Democrats were ceding too much control to "the quants," letting ad testing and cost-per-vote analyses guide strategy.
Here's my deep dive into what that meant in practice — and how one Super PAC is pushing back.

"Even as Democrats rally around ActBlue in the face of attacks from the right, they are sharply divided over whether the organization is equipped to handle these blows." @issielapowsky.bsky.social reports on Democratic fundraising giant, which is under siege. www.fastcompany.com/91428737/ins...
NEW: Trump gave the DOJ 180 days to report on supposed fraud at ActBlue. The deadline passed. No report.
I spoke with sources about the tumultuous last year inside ActBlue—turnover under its CEO, GOP attacks, and the group's growing ambitions despite it all. www.fastcompany.com/91428737/ins...
I spoke with @issielapowsky.bsky.social at the @nytimes.com about an important experiment in post-disaster housing happening Maui. Ka La‘i Ola will provide transitional housing for hundreds of wildfire survivors, then convert to permanent housing and infrastructure. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/h...
Wired rules. Just an incredible group of journalists who are completely meeting the moment. And you can subscribe for $2 a month, which is insane www.wired.com/story/a-new-...
But they also have an important message:
The whole Girl Boss era made women feel like anything less than climbing the corporate ladder was a failure—a point for the patriarchy. These women are rejecting that premise and redefining ambition on their own terms. /end

It's a tricky story to tell. Tradwives have made motherhood a meme. Too many women stop working because childcare’s too costly. And too many politicians are telling women to have more babies, while slashing their safety net. The women I spoke to know it was a privilege to make this choice. 5/x
It’s a story about the growing number of women — women of the Lean In era — who have reached the heights of career success and decided, for now, to pursue other goals, be it motherhood, starting a business, or something else entirely. Author Neha Ruch calls this “the power pause.” 4/x
I didn’t end up leaving my job. But in '22, my newsroom shut down. Since then, I’ve been a full-time freelancer (by choice!). I work as much as ever, but it’s on my own terms.
Anyway, I word vomited this to a wonderful editor at the Times, who thought there was a story in it and there was! 3/x
So many women were being forced out of the workforce at that time due to layoffs and lack of childcare. I knew that if I stepped back from work, I'd be counted in that group. But that didn’t feel like it would accurately describe my situation. I wondered ever how many other women felt that way. 2/x
I have a story out today in the NYTimes that's been bouncing around my brain for years. Backstory: I was a new mom when COVID started. I was working from home, switching off and on w/my husband, who was also home, every few hours. It was hard, yes, but I also really loved the time with my kid...1/x
I take it back. This part is reeeeeally clear.
Every single part of this entire interview is nonsensical. As in the words, strung together as sentences, in the form of questions and answers make no sense. Two men who think they sound smarter if they never admit they don’t know wtf the other one just said or meant. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o...
Elon keeps stiffing people. She keeps suing him.
Really fun interview with Shannon Liss-Riordan, the renowned labor lawyer, on how she's carving out a subspecialty in "billionaire justice." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/s...
NEW: In 2018, California became the first state to let DAs revisit old prison sentences that seemed unjust. Another 5 states have since passed similar policies.
But of the 1,000+ people resentenced, almost none are women.
I wrote about an effort to change that.
