New Investigation out today for @columjournreview.bsky.social 'How a Network of Pink-Slime News Sites and Conservative Activists Went After Campus DEI' I spent months digging into how these groups targeted universities, leading to the firing of faculty and staff. www.cjr.org/tow_center/h...

How a network of pink-slime sites and conservative activists went after campus DEI.

Using FOIA requests and hidden-camera videos, the groups targeted universities, leading to the firing of faculty and staff.

Today's Government Accountability Office report on ICE's Camp East Montana is scandalous: - Evidence of a homicide was destroyed or went missing - Detainees with HIV and diabetes were not given treatment plans - Cells were filthy and only cleaned weekly - A guard lost a loaded gun in the facility

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Camp East Montana Two pictures are underneath, one is an aerial view of the tent camp, the other shows the tents from ground level. GAO found that the Army did not incorporate flexibilities in the contract to account for occupancy levels below the maximum, resulting in millions of dollars in waste. For example, the Army paid the full cost for meals and services from August 1 to August 15, 2025, when there were no detained noncitizens at the facility. GAO also found that ICE could save tens of millions of dollars through September 2026 by incorporating cost saving measures in the contract, such as tiered pricing for meals. In April 2026, ICE terminated the contract for convenience and chose a new contractor to operate the facility. However, ICE had not yet incorporated these cost saving measures into the new contract and continued to pay for meals that it did not need. GAO also identified serious performance and oversight challenges at Camp East Montana. The facility opened without meeting key detention standards. For example, the facility initially did not have perimeter security cameras, outdoor recreation space, or space for attorney and family visitation. ICE did not identify these issues because it did not inspect the facility prior to housing detained noncitizens there, as required by ICE policy. After the facility opened, ICE reported additional problems, including gaps in medical services, the loss of a loaded firearm, and unsanitary conditions, among other issues. These issues posed serious risks to the safety and security of both detained noncitizens and staff in the facility.

Have you heard stories about how the DOJ is not prosecuting bad actors? Interior's watchdog just released a report that found a company had siphoned $7.4 million worth of energy to its power plant and failed to pay any royalties. The company admitted guilt. The Nevada DA declined to prosecute.

Before Greenpeace lost its $345m Dakota Access trial, a mysterious paper attacking the group appeared in North Dakota mailboxes. I traced it to a pink-slime network before it began writing about me

This story is great context to headlines we often see: Stories about billionaires threatening to leave CA, as the state considers taxing people differently in higher brackets But these are just anecdotes, sometimes fear mongering and often-- they never happen!
