For days, we’d been digging for proof that a Russian oligarch attended Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. We scoured social media and analyzed wicker chairs. Then, on a swimsuit model’s Instagram, we found the shaved head we were looking for.

propublica.org“Our Dear Friend Umar”: How We Uncovered That a Russian Oligarch Bankrolled Donald Trump Jr.’s WeddingOn social media and in tabloids, photos from Don Jr. and Bettina Trump’s Bahamas wedding were tightly curated. But sometimes, what — or, who — isn’t pictured is just as important as what is. Let’s go ...

if you ever wondered what you’d have done, you’re doing it right now, because it’s happening here.

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

Car 45's run ended the same way President 45's did. Hit an obstacle that should have been a piece of cake, didn't deal with it sensibly, and crashed into a wall.

Had Malort for the first time tonight and everyone who goes "UGGHHHH AAAAHHH GROSS" is weak of spirit and must train like Vegeta in 100X gravity to improve their tolerance for uncommon liquors

@deviantollam.bsky.social I thought this sort of thing was illegal? It doesn't lock... But it could also get blocked from the outside. Definitely enough room between the elevator door and the outside door for someone to get stuck...

Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!

It's weird to me how trump never lets go of a grudge, he still bitches about Obama, Biden, Hillary, and even Rosie O'Donnell for some reason. He never says a word about any of the people who supposedly tried to assassinate him. Nothing. Weird.

"[I]n Florida, the period between the signing of a death warrant and an execution is roughly one month, on average ... Florida's own history of wrongful convictions in capital cases underscores what is at stake. No state has exonerated more death row prisoners, 30 men in all."

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: As most states move away from the death penalty, Florida is executing more prisoners than ever before. Last year, 19 people were put to death — shattering the state’s previous annual record of 11, first set in 1936. with @nytimes.com

I've been reskeeted by the CPSC and my life is basically all downhill from here. I've peaked. There's no topping this.

A second valid criticism has presented itself in our fireworks thread. We are being called out for using an example from 'The Rock' (1996) for public health purposes instead of a much more applicable example from Armageddon (1998) where Jason Isaacs really does make the most of a minor role.

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)

There are two options: either Moscow is so incompetent that they can't direct their attacks to the intended target, or that the residential buildings, hospitals, and cultural icons they have been striking for 4 years ARE the intended targets. But we all know they're striking them intentionally.

UNITED24@u24.gov.ua

In their mindless attacks on Kyiv, russian terrorists also targeted Dovzhenko National Film Studios — a landmark of Ukrainian cinema that housed an archive of over 100,000 costumes and 600 films. Much of this cultural heritage has now been lost.

People spent their whole lives fighting for the end of this era. People *died* for this. and we are allowing it to be rolled back without so much as a whimper.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Libs and leftists are gonna be pretty humiliated when it turns out shutting down global trade, collapsing your own popularity, eliminating your medical research base, and causing a global energy shock as you alienate your military and strategic alliances, is actually the path to National Greatness.

Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other: 1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting. 2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote. 3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."

man I really really really want to believe that there’s some off-ramp for this shit but every time I see what these motherfuckers are already getting away with I don’t know how you believe there’s an off-ramp left.

The executions will continue. The executions will get more bold. There will be another Alex Pretti. There will be another Renée Good. They will keep shooting civilians until someone shoots back. And when the hammer comes down on everyone, they will say it's because we fired the first shot.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L
