Mamdani: "We are talking a federal agency that is ripping families apart, that's willing to endanger the lives of a 5 year old child as well as any New Yorker in the surrounding area, % then after the fact, seeks to blame the person and the city at large as opposed to reflect upon their own actions"

BRENNAN: Nidal Hasan is in a wheelchair. Doesn't the administration risk livestreaming this and making him a martyr? Couldn't this be a risk to the homeland? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: No one has to watch it B: Well then why are you livestreaming it? MULLIN: The president is restoring American values

I hate it when US officials refer to warfare, includng the deaths of thousands of noncombatants, as "kinetic engagement." Euphemism is the weapon of charlatans.

Bessent: "As the president has said, he doesn't expect kinetic engagement until at least after the midterms"

Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.

this is honestly one of the worst and most irresponsible things he has ever posted, and that's really saying something

Trump: "Annie 'Trannie' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina ... Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her."

Treason!

I emailed top USA Today editors on Friday, in the hopes that there was some misunderstanding. No response. Unilaterally feeding entire interviews into an AI slop machine is not OK. It has to stop.

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · last wk.

If USA Today is indeed unilaterally putting source interviews in some sort of database, in their entirety, allowing them to be cherry-picked by other reporters—and *AI*(!!)—that is journalistically indefensible and no one should ever talk to them again. Is this true? Is it Gannett wide?

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

We have to crush these sociopaths. The problem is that many Democrats take money from them, which means they will get bailed out at our expense in the next 2-4 years.

ICE’s new tactic, witnessed repeatedly at the federal building in MN: when a detained immigrant makes a successful habeas petition, release the immigrant for a few steps outside the building… then tackle and re-arrest them, and claim the habeas petition has been honored and nullified

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

This is some serious unethical bullsh*t from USA Today. Wow. Read this entire 🧵about how this expert's comments ended up in that grotesque opinion column (you know the one) & other articles without her knowledge/permission.
