Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

The night before my newsroom was seized, I was on assignment and engaged in reporting about what Fox News hosts knew about the veracity of claims they made about voting machine companies Dominion & Smartmatic. 3 1/2 years later, the government still attempts to keep me from completing that reporting

As we write in the book, a traffic report that says there’s been a crash on the highway that will make you late to work probably means someone has been seriously injured or killed. Most people just don’t want to reckon with that reality.

“One of the big renewable energy success stories of the moment is Texas, where solar met more than 15 percent of demand throughout the summer, beating out coal for the first time.” (Maybe renewable energy will someday transcend stupid politics—and payoffs from the oil industry— and become…normal.)

With INL support, Colombia has launched drone eradication of coca crops. This technology could be game-changing: lower coca cultivation, more security in Colombia, less deadly drugs reaching American streets, and more lives saved. A great opportunity for increased EL counternarcotics results.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect
In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

The Wyden Siren: Senator’s Cryptic CIA Letter Follows A Pattern That’s Never Been Wrong
If you've been paying attention to surveillance and civil liberties issues over the past fifteen years, you've likely learned to recognize a particular pattern. Senator Ron Wyden will occasionally send a public letter that essentially says "hey, I can't tell you what's happening because it's classified, but something really bad is going on and you should all be paying attention."

An aerial, satellite-style view of the White House complex. The building wing on the left side of the image has been demolished and replaced with a construction site filled with dirt, rubble, and heavy machinery. The main central residence and the wing on the right remain intact, with their roofs covered in a large cluster of red map pins containing white silhouettes of people. The text "Pennsylvania Ave" is superimposed on the road in the bottom left corner, and the South Lawn with a circular fountain is visible in the foreground.
