Here's a video we published that summarizes our findings. As NYT executive editor Joe Kahn has said: It does not matter how people engage with our material. Via print, The Daily, videos or online. It's engagement that matters. Sharing what we learned with the world. www.nytimes.com/video/climat...

BREAKING: Maurene Comey, daughter of a former FBI director, was unlawfully fired by the Trump administration, a judge ruled.

Court rules firing of Maureen Comey without cause or due process violated the law. The president’s duty is to execute the law “faithfully.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

"Alexander says he didn’t come back to Ingram to help deport his neighbors... he just ended up making it part of his job. Alexander and Ingram’s other patrol officer had delivered at least 70 people to immigration agents. Within a year, they would hand over the equivalent of 10% of Ingram to ICE."

Barack Obama: When you've been campaigning as long as I have, you can tell when an election comes along that just feels a little bit different. After 2 years of chaos, cruelty, corruption, and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in modern times, you get a chance to say enough is enough

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

Two years later, DOJ still fighting over whether Trump's blanket pardon for Jan. 6 defendants inadvertently swept in other egregious crimes committed by Jan. 6 defendants. Kelley was convicted by a jury of conspiring to murder his investigators. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

“it would be totally irresponsible to leave a crucial military asset in the hands of a racist, authoritarian conspiracy theorist.”— Paul Krugman on Elon Musk, arguing that the U.S. government should nationalize Starlink. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

brutal

Trump makes an indescribable sound effect: "I'd say 90% of the reason I took the governor-- EUHHH"

4/ Trump cut a deal with Kazakhstan to make his sons rich off a mining deal. And then he approved $1.6 billion - BILLION - in taxpayer financing to further help his sons. Like wild, nuclear grade self enrichment. Missed that one, JD? Kazakhstan!!

BREAKING WaPo: The Trump admin has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian missile and drone attacks — a delay that comes as Trump embraces Russia and slams Ukraine.

“He is the biggest known spender on this year’s midterms, $276 million funneled to conservative political groups + Republicans… Musk is also a prominent, and powerful, white supremacist.” Jamelle Bouie asks why Republicans are never asked about Musk’s racism. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/o...

Tom Nichols about Trump’s corrupt dealings: “There are still people who believe that somehow he’s doing this trying to help alleviate their economic distress. When, in fact, he is the source of their economic distress.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Quoting Trump's social media post of today, Judge Reyes orders govt to explain by 8pm whether it still takes the positions it took 2 days ago. Also orders Associate AG Stan Woodward to attend hearing tomorrow.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Update from the originator of the James Talarico mental health facility hoax.

CBS News foreign editor Shayndi Raice threw an unhinged meeting with staffers warning that they could be terminated if they cross her and dismissed the Palestinian death toll as a “magic number.” @justinbaragona.bsky.social takes a closer look at the chaos at CBS News. 🔗: zeteo.com/p/read-the-d...

So Musk is saying it was the Trump Admin who did it and the Trump Admin is saying it was Musk who did it.

BREAKING: " Videos collected by local investigators make it “pretty obvious” that an ICE officer intentionally ran over Miguel Parra Hernandez during an immigration stop Saturday, which could lead to assault charges, the district attorney said Tuesday."

Spirit Halloween is out now with a new Law Associate certified in China costume

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

The FAA warned rocket launches could “significantly reduce safety” for airplanes after we reported earlier this year on a SpaceX rocket explosion. Such disruptions will likely become more frequent, as SpaceX is planning up to 76 launches a year.

Fixed it for Trump.

"For a woman to have short hair on Fox News, where Kelly was a star anchor at the time, seemed as seditious to the network’s established order as reading Judith Butler or Karl Marx live on air." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

The state of California is accusing Amazon of a price-fixing scheme that pushes wholesale vendors to raise prices at competing stores like Target, Walmart, Chewy, and Best Buy. https://bit.ly/4hPjBQy

Trump suggested tonight that Iran could "take out" American cities: "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take— let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

I know other survivors are watching their carefully stitched-together lives begin to come apart, too, because in so many ways, we are all Jane Doe. jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/i-was-drun...

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Melania Trump tried to bully me into silence because she didn’t like what I had to say about her. Shouldn’t our First Lady have more important things to worry about?
