Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Trump bought up to $5M in Axon stock, a taser company, two weeks before ICE sought a contract for tasers. He’s also bought stock in Palantir, Dell, and Nvidia — all of whom have been awarded massive government contracts. Has a president ever profited so brazenly from the office?

A little monthly donation is the way to go, which helps WNYC and OTM budget. That's what I do. And I never miss an episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social. First rate reporting that helps me keep my footing and perspective in this fast-changing media landscape.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

Jason Leopold@jasonleopold.bsky.social

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

Americans are united in wanting the Epstein files released. Americans haven’t been this united since September 12th, 2001.

"Jennings was upset over threatening text messages he received last year from former City Council member Tariq Bokhari. Bokhari said in the texts he would try and get Jennings fired and work to "cripple his legacy."

When you cast your eyes upon the skylines of this once proud nation Can you sense the fear and the hatred growing in the hearts of its population And youth, youth, are being seduced by the greedy hands of politics and half truths The beaten generation Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation

"President Bukele agreed to take back all Salvadoran MS-13 gang members who are in the United States unlawfully. He also promised to accept and incarcerate violent illegal immigrants, including members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, but also criminal illegal migrants from any country."

The exact agency within the State Department that is paying out the $6 million in funding to CECOT is unclear and is a source of interest among Democrats in Congress... It is likely coming out of the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)

The State Department did not answer detailed questions from States Newsroom as to whether the funds were coming from INL. "...the State Department has a duty to make sure that we're not turning over people, even if they're not our citizens, to places where they'll be mistreated or tortured,”

U.S. law bars State’s financial support of “units of foreign security forces” — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations.

"The deal supports the (Trump) administration’s efforts to accelerate deportations and deter illegal immigration while simultaneously offering a potential solution to the U.S.’s own overcrowded prison system."

"This unprecedented deal, put forward by Bukele, aims to accommodate U.S. deportees regardless of their nationality, including violent American offenders and gang members... At the core of this agreement is El Salvador’s willingness to accept deportees from the U.S. regardless of their nationality."

Late last night, an arsonist attacked my friend Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in a reprehensible act. Thanks to law enforcement’s swift action, he and his family are safe. Anna and I are praying for them and the immediate apprehension of the coward who set the fire.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

For the Signal bullsh*t with the US gov, what absolutely should not be lost or forgiven is that they set the text messages to auto-delete. This is very much illegal, as it is a direct and intentional effort to hide and destroy government documents. It's a crime and all should be prosecuted.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
