ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.
It's really not good that the government is trying to force AI companies to make their LLM chatbots "anti-woke" (biased in favor of the right).
Mike Ludwig@mludwig.bsky.social · 10h agoTrump’s Federal Trade Commission Is Threatening to Punish Big Tech for “Woke AI” Free speech groups sound alarm about a proposal from Trump's FTC to jawbone companies into training AI models on white nationalist narratives and undermine state laws.

I remember a coworker in her late twenties saying this on how dating was so difficult. I was not surprised by her first two complaints: general anger issues and having few outside hobbies. I WAS surprised at her mention of how many men apparently don’t wash their hair or butts.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · yesterdaySurely someone has studied our modern epidemic of conservative men with unwashed asses.
Now they're walking Lombard, Jr. because they know that kid is DANGEROUS.
"Everything that went wrong with the reflecting pool, including the damage to the pool itself and the fabricated charges against Hearn, went wrong for two reasons: Trump’s unprecedented corruption and his rush to include the reflecting pool in his Narcissistic hijacking of the Nation’s celebration."
emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social · yesterdayNone of the apparently Pirro-sourced columns about what happened with her and Trump have bothered to mention that she, like Trump, was rushing to get something done by July 4. emptywheel.net/2026/08/04/t...
It is entirely plausible that Congress would remove - not just impeach, remove - a Democrat from office for a good many of the things Trump has done.

Here’s the key takeaway from our report: Epstein couldn’t have carried out his trafficking and criminal activity without the help of the highest ranking employees and executives at the most powerful banks in the world. Wall Street is complicit in Epstein’s crimes from top to bottom.
"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."
A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing
Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterdayBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterdayIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

All this exposes MAGA’s real position: Mass deportations must be carried out *even if* they hurt the economy. They should be prioritized *over* economic concerns. The goal is not primarily economic: It’s about ethnically purging the country. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
