SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.
This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.
Democrats should say that Trump’s attacks on Iran are unconstitutional.
The American people do not want a war in Iran. The Congress did not authorize a war in Iran. It is an entirely illegitimate action that has no legal or constitutional basis. It is the act of a lawless regime.
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.
Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

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 telling you, someone’s going to think it’s a B&E and shotgun one of these gestapo-wannabes and they’ll claim the home owner was in the wrong.
there are heroes everywhere

Breaking on MS NOW:
Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.
The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

Jeffries: "We cannot trust the Department of Justice. They're an illegitimate organization right now under the leadership of Pam Bondi and the direction of Donald Trump."
Arresting journalists doing their jobs, sending the DNI to raid election offices in GA, unleashing fed agents that kill Americans & then cover it up.
Trump’s authoritarian takeover is quickening. We must respond like the people of Minneapolis —peacefully but with fierce urgency.
Hell yeah. Screw the Tribune's right-wing editorial board. Good for Kat.
“Even more ironic about conservatives’ accusation is that *their own movement* has a much more extensive and documented history of paid protesting, agitation, and faux civic engagement.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...
"This, I think, is how most people understand Martin Niemöller’s classic poem 'First They Came.' In reality, though, the people living under those regimes never knew which group of people would be designated an enemy of the state next."
I say this as a Yank who lived in France for 18 years and now the UK for 6: The far right in France and the UK is as ugly as it is in the US.
If Le Pen & Farage make it to power, it will be as embarrassing for the French and British as Trump is for us.
To fight it, we need empathy and solidarity.
The three most-senior cardinals leading U.S. archdioceses issued the rebuke in a joint statement on Monday, saying recent policies have thrown America's "morale role in confronting evil" into question. n.pr/4bNfjrc
I "love" how all U.S. policy journalism, as this story does, just floats over the fact that everything has been broken by grotesque levels of corproate corruption, as if that's a biased opinion and not eminently well documented
Screenshot of a post on X by Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) saying Jerome Powell isn’t lowering interest rates because of Trump’s “irrational tariff policy,” and that Trump’s actions threaten the country’s economic fabric and prosperity. Below the text is a video thumbnail showing Ro Khanna speaking indoors in a suit, with a U.S. flag to his left, bookshelves behind him, and a floor lamp to his right. The video shows a 0:55 timestamp and a speaker icon.
Rep. Khanna brings the fire.
Bill really gets down to the most critical problems of modern day life: too many people are paying off their mortgages early and hurting the lenders.
“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”
Yea, man, that was obviously going to be the case from the beginning.

OpenAI definitely trying to target the negative media coverage that their irresponsibly designed fake conversation application has been getting for its real and serious impacts on mental health, including encouraging suicides etc
Any political or polling journalist that doesn't mention in their analysis of public vuewpoints that the average American information diet consists of corporatist right wing agitprop slop should get a new job
During Trump’s first term @pamherd.bsky.social and I wrote about how Trump was adding new administrative burdens to the safety net. Nowadays the Bezos editorial board is basically “yeah, sounds good.”

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

So Trump cancelled all that money for daycare children on a lie.
Starting this year, Medicare is bringing down the cost of 10 expensive medications for conditions from cancer to diabetes to kidney disease — saving Medicare recipients $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs.
