New: Jasmine Crockett was offering government relations & lobbying services on a campaign-funded website. It was taken down after Zeteo reached out. Experts say they’d never seen something like this before. Rules bar members from lobbying and from using campaign funds for non-campaign purposes.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.
A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.

consent is impossible when you mix career networking and sex together in a social space. the inherent power differentials extant in such an environment muddies the waters of consent to the point of complete opacity. how do you say "no" to someone who has the power to make or break your career?

Trump's EPA paid staff roughly $200 MILLION to NOT work last year. Trump's Interior Department paid staff $156 MILLION to NOT work last year. So we don't have money for food or health care, but we have enough to stop staff from doing their jobs? Absolutely irresponsible.

God this is so smart @sarahkendzior.bsky.social An example of how white supremacy works in such hidden, nefarious ways
One reason Trump’s backers strenuously opposed diversity in newsrooms is because it made the reporter more likely to be removed from elite, nepotistic circles — and potentially harder to control. The demand for insularity is what motivated mass firings of Black journalists prior to and after Trump’s reinstallation. “Access journalism” is not about the journalist having access to the regime, but the regime having longtime access to the journalist. It is a common prerequisite in mafia states.

And that is why they are dismantling the structures for DEI in the US, particularly in education systems. Because kids were learning ideas that made it harder to turn them into genocidal drones who would look on or actively participate.

The USG crusade to destroy the ICC seems primarily motivated by a desire to shield Israeli officials like Netanyahu and Gallant from accountability. Worth recalling that those two face charges related to using starvation as a method of warfare in Gaza.

A lot of my anger at the dominance of the rationalist/longtermist “AI safety” narrative right now - which is way more focused on distant future tech harms than current ones - relates to how we’re really struggling to get people to care about how tiny flying robots are exploding 1000s of civilians.

As I said the first time Trump proposed tariffs: this is precisely why he likes them! It makes everyone come to him on bended knee, begging for exemptions. It makes economic survival dependent on his whim. That, not any economic theory, is the whole attraction. Mafia boss thinking.
