An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public.

Sad if true and it looks true
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Trump’s been denying the affordability crisis. Meanwhile, January PPI just came in hotter than expected at 2.9% YoY / core 3.6%. Data don’t lie.
Another mediocre DEI hire
The Pistons are very real. The east runs through them at this point it looks like. Their record against over .500 teams and point differential say it’s real enough.
With his latest scam to try and steal the midterm elections, the most corrupt and morally reprehensible pedophile president in US history is conning the American people to create a permanent fascist authoritarian government. The SAVE Act is blatant voter suppression, PERIOD.
I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!
CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕
(From @andertoon.bsky.social )
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.
Per @pabloreports.bsky.social: Bondi has a “burn book” organized by the names of Democratic lawmakers so she can attack them when they ask her questions.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Brawndo’s got what plants crave.

“LESS THAN 14%”
They have been lying all along

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.
Good Q @SarahKSilvermam
I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!
“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
This is the still frame that it's taken from.
“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”
No prison straight to the hanging gallows
When do the hanging gallows get built for ICE agents? I’ll help hood and hang. Punishment by immediate hanging; no $ wasted on jailing these traitors.
New Yorker cartoon. A man and a woman are standing in front of a television set. The woman has a remote in her hand. She says: want to watch coverage of the politicians encouraging fascism or the politicians doing absolutely nothing to stop it?
Why do we have to go through all this so one man can stay out of prison?
Stephen Miller's terror state is employing lawless violence against Americans to dissuade them from standing in the way of his ethnic cleansing project.
Excited that @theunpopulist.net has reprinted our piece on the roots of his white nationalism. Check it out:

We've gone from defining doxing as posting someone's social security number / home address to now just posting a public officials name. How long until naming a federal agency becomes doxing, too
