NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

How ProPublica Reporters Became Private School Owners in 24 Hours

The reporting experiment demonstrates how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. No credentials or background checks required.

If you’ve been paying attention, it appears that Trump has had at least one stroke. Possibly a few. And the bulges and strange posture we have been seeing are because he’s wearing an exoskeleton.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"

Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

Dug into this and her name seems to be Zhao Jing. She’s being held at Adelanto. A habeas lawsuit was filed at 11:05 AM Pacific today. On X, a user said Ms. Zhao had taught her son. As to why ICE arrested her, no idea. Most likely she’s a pending asylum applicant who got stuck in backlogs for years.

Her name is Zhao Jing, and my heart broke when I heard her shout "Jing Zhao." Because I saw terror, helplessness, and despair on her face, which shattered me. I never imagined I'd see her in such a way. I still have her contact information; I have her email records. She was once my eldest son's early intervention teacher, with extremely fluent English close to native speaker level, and a senior staff member at that institution—a team-leading Supervisor. She's even from the same hometown as me. For someone in her situation, do you have any advice?

Recent Progress:
Last night, a friend of this lady reached out to me, asking for my help. Early this morning, I got in touch with Ms. Zhao by phone. After our conversation, I obtained her specific details. That friend had helped top up her phone credit. Since her father doesn't know how to answer calls from the immigration detention center, I also found a kind-hearted friend to go to her residence, visit her elderly father, and promptly check on his health condition.
I immediately drafted a writ of habeas corpus, handed it to the lawyer for review, and have now uploaded it to the federal court for official filing.
I hope she can redain her freedom soon.

CNN is back in the White House TV press pool rotation this week (their turn comes up twice). But that was also the case last Sunday when the schedule was released, only for Trump to bar CNN from Air Force One. There is also a court hearing this week on the press ban lawsuit, so I guess we'll see.

Trump’s “Super Intelligence Force” puts AI, intelligence, trade and defence officials under his control while giving tech companies direct access to policy decisions they could profit from, creating fertile ground for corporate profiteering, regulatory capture and corruption.

Normalization is treating the president stealing from taxpayers to buy campaign ads and offer bribes to voters like it's just another day.
