12/ We spent months compiling every case we could find of immigration agents detaining Americans. We did it because the government hasn't. And now, we're sharing every one of those cases with you. Explore our database: propub.li/4egbSK2
The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
Poland’s embassy in Washington blasts Tucker Carlson for justifying Hitler’s 1939 invasion of Poland. Bogdan Klich, the embassy’s chargé d’affaires, called his comments “false” and “deeply troubling” and demanded that Carlson retract them and apologize.

Will Bunch is why I subscribe to the Philly Inquirer. Here he calls out the media for (once again) sane washing Trump, in probably the most egregious case of all – his profoundly and dangerously unhinged speech to the UN last week. It's a 5-alarm fire folks. But you wouldn't know it reading the NYT.
We need to find the words for Trump’s madness before things blow up | Will Bunch
The media and politicians haven’t pinned down anything resembling a suitable description for a president’s downward spiral or the looming battle for U.S. democracy.

Susan Collins says she delivers for Maine, but we all know the truth. Her legacy is corruption and self-service.
"House Republicans will continue to hold Hunter Biden’s feet to the fire until we have his testimony...no one – not even the president’s son – is above the law.” - Tom Emmer, 1.17.24 "Don Jr is a private citizen and businessman so this unwarranted attack will go nowhere," Tom Emmer, 9.23.26
“When I was in kindergarten in 1961, I survived a near-fatal case of measles… my clearest memory of that period is my father carrying me to our station wagon & rushing me to the hospital.

The president vacillated but decided on Sunday not to join Saudi Arabia, for now, in joint strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. But he also needs the kingdom’s cooperation in his war against Iran.

Yup The peer reviewed research evidence supports a zoonotic origin, & this new discovery does even more to make zoonosis the likely origin As Dr Markus Hoffman says (he co-discovered the FCS in SARS-CoV-2): “For me, there is currently no compelling evidence that Sars-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab”
Dr. Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is noteworthy. Again, no compelling evidence supports the COVID lab leak theory. The furin cleavage site present in SARS-CoV2 was perceived as unusual, fueling the lab leak theory.
