NEW: A federal judge threw out ICE's claim that state inspection law didn’t apply inside its detention centers. But since it took so long to adjudicate, ICE has now written the same language into contracts for four more facilities. It doesn’t need to hold up. It just needs to take years to resolve.

NEW: DHS' top number-cruncher just left the department -- and blasted the administration's "war on immigrants" on the way out. He's one of the very few DHS officials to step down and speak out publicly against this White House. Me in @wired.com ... www.wired.com/story/dhs-of...

Billionaires have already poured $433 million into the 2026 midterm elections—and 80% of it is going to Republicans.

If the the Department of Government Efficiency is “stonewalling the inspector general’s office, it’s an extremely safe bet that they’re absolutely ignoring FOIA officers who are asking for information,” FPF's @laurenleharper.bsky.social told @the74.bsky.social's @lrj417.bsky.social.

MSG’s new lawsuit against @wired.com isn’t just about defamation. It’s an attack on the newsgathering process itself. If journalists can be sued for talking to sources with NDAs, powerful institutions have another way to keep their secrets.

Not a single network aired this on their nightly news broadcasts yesterday. They described Trump overseeing a "somber ceremony" and called it a "moving moment." The only way to know what trump actually said about the soldiers he killed is to follow aaron rupar which no offense to aaron is insane

The Chicago Reader Union has been bargaining w/ Noisy Creek since February. In that time, management has consistently offered proposals that would cut longstanding benefits in exchange for meager pay raises. We need YOU to tell Noisy Creek we deserve better! 🧵 🔗: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

you know its the atlantic when questions are (1) framed as entirely innocent philosophical hypotheticals but (2) also bravely iconoclastic truth-telling yet stand (3) entirely divorced from reality and (4) affirm the worst impulses while (5) coinciding with programs of true political evil

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

This AP investigation into David Brouillette, the ICE agent who shot Durán Guerrero in Maine is genuinely horrifying. Long history of extreme mental illness, chronic violence agst spouses and kids, PTSD and heightened violence from mil service. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

there is no other outlet in chicago with the institutional knowledge or wisdom of the reader, and no group of reporters who have sacrificed as much to keep their paper alive. imagine nickel and diming those folks as one of your first acts in town.

News organizations should periodically stop and look in the mirror and ask themselves “Have we internalized copspeak to the point that our headlines indistinguishable from police department email subject lines?”

The thing is, doing sports like Norway (focused on fun, companionship, team spirit) rather than the US (focused on intensity, suffering, competition, which individual is "best") isn't just healthier & more pro-social, it produces *better athletes*.

Predictable and completely infuriating. ICE appears to have concocted the same story as in the murder of Renee good— that victim “weaponized his vehicle” & ir was self-defense.The victim had been in the country 35 years raised three sons never a criminal violation. share.google/dVxYFTgjJ24p...
