Out in the country looking at dark clouds so I'm not supposed to be posting, but on Monday I laid out how FBI is refusing to turn over evidence that SPLC tipped off FBI to--among other things--a murder for hire scheme. emptywheel.net/2026/08/10/t...

Séisme en Colombie : le secteur du cinéma se mobilise la nuit pour éclairer les décombres

Armés de projecteurs habituellement utilisés en studio, des travailleurs du secteur du cinéma se mobilisent dans la ville de Cali depuis lundi, à la nuit tombée, pour éclairer les décombres et ainsi faciliter le travail de recherche des survivants. Le séisme qui a touché l’ouest de la Colombie a fait plus de 200 morts.

This is a very worrying story. Ecuadorian fishermen are being attacked and killed, and the perpetrators seem to be either the U.S. military engaged in clandestine operations or an American mercenary company working for Bukele or another Central American country.

Far out in the Pacific Ocean, Ecuadorean fishermen have been attacked by unidentified “gringos” using drones, survivors say, spurring a mystery over whether the American military, the armed forces of another country or private military contractors were behind the strikes. One fishing boat has been lost at sea since January, the U.N. says, with eight people still missing and presumed dead. The survivors of two other vessels said they came under attack in March by English-speaking assailants wearing matching uniforms with American flag patches, but without any clear insignia to link them to an official government force. Some of the surviving fishermen said they had been hauled out of the water, questioned and then handed over to El Salvador’s navy before being released. The Pentagon has denied involvement, as has the U.S. Coast Guard. Survivors have also said that a plane followed and seemingly surveilled them before the strikes. The New York Times analyzed flight data and found that a maritime patrol plane — based out of a military base in El Salvador — flew in the direction of all three boats in the days before they were attacked. The pilots onboard spoke English with American accents, according to air traffic control communication recordings.

Why Secretary RFK, Jr Is Responsible for Our Record Setting Measles Outbreaks: he's been promoting anti-vaccine misinformation and misleading people into not vaccinating for decades. Denying responsibility is cowardly and dishonest. @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/stopanti...

Why Secretary RFK, Jr Is Responsible for Our Record Setting Measles Outbreaks

It’s another record breaking year for measles - the most cases in 35 years. Does anyone really believe that RFK, Jr isn’t responsible?

A gigantic oil spill is happening of Oman's coast as we speak. A loaded shadow tanker has been aground for weeks and is leaking with no meaningful activity to stop it. Here, a foreboding what it will look like in the Baltic Sea once it happens.*

This would let any president — including Trump — wall off a broad swath of communication from congressional scrutiny. It lands as Democrats look increasingly likely to win back the House— and subpoena power.

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 6d ago

Punchbowl: A new DOJ Office of Legal Counsel memo says Trump can assert executive privilege over communications with "private advisers … so long as they relate to official presidential decisionmaking, involve or reflect communications with the President or his direct advisers, and are confidential."

Reporting query! I'm looking for a list of top defense tech companies (Anduril, ShieldAI, Palantir etc). Something along the lines of: top new firms by contract obligations or ones most rapidly increasing their defense contracts. A list that captures top new entrants to the US arms industry.
