The Alexander brothers
The Alexander brothers have been found guilty on all counts in their sex trafficking trial.
The way they have bragged for years about their playbook, going as far as writing about their crimes in blog posts.
"It's not rape if... you use her tears as lube”
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”
1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight.com about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.
First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP
Parents, pls tell your autistic kids they are autistic: "You may think that an autistic child won’t notice they are different than their non-autistic peers; I have not met one autistic person (me included) who hasn’t noticed their difference early in life."

Apparently Eugenio Suarez had his citizenship application taken off the books because he's Venezuelan and his response was "it is what it is."
thinking about how this guy has had dozens of teammates who are hardcore Trump supporters
YES. In the same sentence he said the war was complete, he proposed a policy that would vastly enlarge the war! Media reported the first half, and then later reported a different part to make it seem like a change! But it was incoherent, nonsensical slop all along.
This, too, is sanewashing!
Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3330):
You can read about my winning lawsuit with @rcfp.org against DC MPD, and the resulting footage from the DOGE raid on USIP here:
MPD cop: Is it a GSA (General Services Administration) building?
DOGE lawyer: It's not.
Trump's USIP president: Private building, and that's why we need MPD. If it were GSA, it would be very simple.
4. Here we see then-USIP staffer John Allen being asked repeated questions by Laken Rapier, a representative of the Trump administration. Allen tells Rapier—a person he did not work for, and who is not law enforcement—multiple times that he cannot answer her questions, but she keeps going.
3. We've heard so much about the way DOGE operated, but rarely have we gotten to actually see it up close. This clip reveals the entitlement Trump's USIP president and the DOGE team felt heading into the privately-owned building on the day of the raid:
2. In this clip we see Trump's guy Kenneth Jackson and DOGE lawyer Justin Aimonetti speak with MPD Commander Jason Bagshaw. Aimonetti shows Bagshaw paperwork supposedly proving Jackson is in charge. "I'm trying to go in as president and take control of the agency," Jackson says.
1. Here's the tense moment when USIP outside counsel George Foote comes face-to-face with Kenneth Jackson, the Trump-installed new president of USIP, and the DOGE team. Jackson refuses to shake Foote's hand. “I’m asking the questions, not you,” Jackson says. DOGE staffers won't ID themselves.
Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:
The evidence that the U.S. hit the girls’ school in Iran, killing scores of children, keeps growing.
It’s horrific and not something from which the media, or anyone else, should just move on.
David Copperfield just being David Copperfield.
The extra ick, the bags of candy.
The beginning of a Facebook post by the Seattle Police Department that reads: "Happy International Women’s Day. We would like to honor four women whose leadership and contributions have shaped the Seattle Police Department. Thank you, Assistant Chief Skagen, Chief O’Toole, Chief Best, and Interim Chief Rahr for your years of dedication to the City of Seattle."
SPD posted a selective paean to four female Seattle police officials for International Women's Day. They skipped over former SPD assistant chief Linda Pierce, the highest-ranking woman as of 2009, when she left after raising concerns about how women were treated.

How will this affect the Riyadh comedy scene
“Perhaps the most compelling reason not to go to war abroad is that we’re already fighting one here at home. Americans don’t need to be deployed to Iran or elsewhere to experience the horrors of war because one has been domestically grown for us.”
Finally rewatching the last 30 mins of game I didn’t get to see live last night and this might be the worst announcer performance I’ve heard in awhile…
Horrific
"The disrespect shown by Trump was so embarrassing that Fox News attempted to gloss over the incident by airing footage of a previous dignified transfer during their coverage of yesterday’s dignified transfer."
Kind of psyched to lose an hour tonight. Could do with fast forwarding through a few more to be honest.
KKR!!!! BACKFLIPS!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO SOUNDERS UP 1-0!
This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

You don’t reform this. You abolish it
this made me cackle all the way through
consumers are often thrust into online-only purchasing situations, however. most plus size clothing is only available online. many stores now carry far less stock, pushing you to their online branch. big box stores ate small business and are now eating themselves.
