@theguardian.com can you change the way you release items on this app ? Rather than dumping them all at once, could you time them out? Many of us who scroll here don’t enjoy seeing so many items from one source in a big dump

BREAKING: Pentagon agrees to hold off firing 3 Stars & Stripes journalists through next Friday to allow their court challenge to be argued. Reprieve came as Judge Trevor McFadden (Trump/DC) mulled their request for TRO. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

There could not be a more blatant violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits any executive branch employee from "Using his or her official title while participating in political activity." Unlikely to be prosecuted, however. Will any news org even mention this? www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/7...

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.
