Another good resource is Ground News, which displays a bar graph under each news article to show how much that story is being covered by the right , the left, and the balanced media.

Re the unsightly tarp still obscuring the front of the Kennedy Center: “Skeptics pointed out that the center’s many other maintenance projects had not been shielded by tarps, including repairs to the marble facade.” (NYT)

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

Two-thirds of Americans believe Trump has "gone too far" with ICE. The cruelty & extremism is out of control. Our new ad features Joe Rogan asking "Are we really going to be the Gestapo?...Is that what we've come to?" Check it out & share.

Whoever leaked this information served Hegseth up in a platter. Good.

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group.

Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. 

None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier.

“I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

A federal judge late Friday ruled that the Trump administration’s mass firing of probationary employees earlier this year was illegal, a victory for the labor unions and nonprofit groups that had sued the government over the terminations.

Mass Firing of Probationary Federal Employees Was Illegal, Judge Rules
Months have passed since the lawsuit was filed, and many of the fired employees have moved on, the judge noted.
