Thwarted raid attempt in South Minneapolis. Agent asks woman if she’s a man. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

And this is an operation tied to 3rd or 4th tier GOP guys. There is so much right wing dark money flowing around, and this is probably just one of several smaller schemes. We don't fully know the plots.

Not just tech- but many industries including media. The DOJ not enforcing antitrust laws- under both parties- is a big reason why we are where we are today.

Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

"This is spiraling for CBS. The audience is already fleeing," a former CBS News staffer told me. "This type of political stuff from an on-air reporter is only gonna speed up the audience's escape."

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Award-winning American photojournalist Heidi Levine describes being violently attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers while covering the olive harvest in Turmus Ayya near Ramallah this morning. By Oren Ziv @mekomit.bsky.social

We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge. Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.

Imagine sending this message and accusing someone else of "incel behaviour". No self awareness at all lol.

we live in the stupidest timeline, exhibit #9484920248402923848

I kid I chatted with recently used the term "BoomerMaxxing". I think this is a perfect example of what he is talking about....

🔴 BREAKING - Israeli settlers beat French mayor, attack European diplomatic cars in West Bank

Calling a federal judge histrionic is quite the litigation strategy, let’s see how that works out for them!

Donald Trump set another record. There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry. Until now.

I saw the original thread and remember the framing quite differently… am glad @tinadesireeberg.com shared her actual day-of perspective. I remember Karen Bass not meeting the moment — and I can see the blatant attempt to re-write history.

It’s pretty wild how much money they are throwing at defeating Raman. My guess is that they perceive her as being a threat to their high pay rates and oversized budgets. (I objectively think taking half of the city’s budget is oversized.)

Zacharia lasted half a Scaramucci. Coincidentally, both got a law degree but never passed the bar.

"Leo" sent this pic from the cosmic crisp apple harvest. "This apple is very delicate & must be cut carefully at the stem. Quality is a must or you could be fired. The average worker picks six 900lb bins in an 8 hr day, but there are workers who make much less." #WeFeedYou

The L.A. Mayor's race raises new questions about the candidates' relationship with controversial power player Rick Jacobs. Earlier, I obtained emails between Mayor Bass' admin and Jacobs - after public allegations of harassment against him. "Hi Rick [...] The Mayor would like to meet this week."

Never before in this City’s history has a private organization been financially backstopped by the City of Los Angeles taxpayers to carry out an endeavor of this size and scale. Our data request for financial information from LA28 AGREED to by the City and LA28 is due today.

Supreme Court justices who served prior to 1966 stayed for a median of 15.3 years. But for the justices who served after 1966, that number jumped to 25.7 years (not including the current justices). bit.ly/3VmxQ7X

Despite assurances from the Trump administration, ProPublica found the government has turned its vast security and surveillance apparatus against the Tohono O’odham Nation. “The drones flying over us all day,” one tribal member said, “it’s a lot.”

too early to tell how this is going electorally speaking but generally I find the US right's loudness wrt anti-Asian racism bizarre strategically speaking, especially since they adopted opposition to DEI as a major front and had many other plays wrt Hindu nationalism and the like

One key difference between Bass & Raman that isn't getting the play it deserves was present in the debate last night: Data transparency & its importance to local government. During my last stint at the city, I saw the differences between the two firsthand. It is also why I'm voting for Raman.

Some of this footage is mine. Her response that day was actually pretty weak and she refused to comment on ongoing treatment of the press by her LAPD chief. She was there a very small amount of time and was politely asking for them to leave. She demanded nothing and left before they did.

not entirely sure if it’s possible for Musk to be more disgusting than he is

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by ‌restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile ​of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his ​WhatsApp channel…” 1/

“The ultraconservative group Rockbridge, led by Peter Thiel and JD Vance, has landed in Brazil *** Its mission includes influencing election campaigns and political mobilization.” 9/26/26 (Rockbridge now claims that its Brazil satellite never got off the ground.) … 1/ share.google/k31p82YiBVOZ...

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

This is why Billionaires buy these media companies. They want to control the narrative and don’t care what it costs them

Driving back from Lochiel Arizona- I had to go through 3 Border Patrol checkpoints. I never left the United States. Does this seem right?

Trump always gets exhausted and loopy in the home stretch. This was Nov. 2, 2024, just three days before that election. It was so shocking I don't think any major TV news network covered it.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Status Coup's Tina-Desiree Berg spoke to protesters who blocked Trump’s border wall expansion at the U.S-Mexico border in Arizona for 2+ months. In response, they were brutally attacked. www.statuscoupsubstack.com/p/were-on-th...

🚨It's about SO MUCH MORE than just the trees! Status Coup's Tina-Desiree Berg traveled to the US-Mexico border to speak with forest defenders who are fighting the destruction of private land, nature and wildlife in the wake of Trump's border wall construction. Video by Michelle Dao

On October 13 in National City, California, Status Coup reporter Tina-Desiree Berg was on the scene after ICE agents followed a man home and forced their way inside his residence—dragging him away as his young daughter watched in distress.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY

On October 13, protesters rushed to a Walmart parking lot where ICE agents were reportedly staged following a nearby detention. To disrupt the operation, demonstrators smeared peanut butter across the agents' vehicle windows—and Status Coup’s @tinadesireeberg.com captured the entire incident live.

Status Coup reporter @tinadesireeberg.com Desiree-Berg reported live from a Los Angeles rally where U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Ro Khanna headlined support for California’s Proposition 40.

An investigation found that Andre Marinho had “incorporated a Brazilian branch of [the Thiel-backed] Rockbridge” & that a “businessman whom Marinho introduced to Rockbridge…became involved in Flavio Bolsonaro’s campaign…” The the businessman admits Rockbridge ties “but denies channelling…funds.” 1/

This is incorrect and suggests the Post is unaware that "World War Eleven" is a trolling reference to a slip of the tongue Omar once made, before immediately correcting herself, in a viral clip (which cut out her correcting herself) that the president *frequently refers to* when he insults her

This is the border wall that cuts through Nogales. The barbed wire was put up in 2018 by the US Army and remains today despite the mayor repeatedly asking the Biden administration to remove it

Ilhan Omar: 'Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced'

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.
