The bulk of the money Missouri gives to pregnancy centers comes from federal funds meant to assist families with basic necessities and child care.
As many as $3 of every $4 was from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program in 2024, and in 2026, it will be $2 out of $3.
From me:
SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.
This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
"Multiple women alleged to prosecutors that they were sexually assaulted by high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein, according to the recently released Epstein files. None of the men were charged."
BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.
Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
People keep marveling that Epstein got away with it and positing elaborate conspiracy theories about how he skirted consequences. The truth is that he painted his victims as prostitutes who happened to be underage and his creepy old buddies agreed he was the victim.
With a little help from his Sinners co-star Miles Caton, the near-nonagenarian legend gives the Tiny Desk a history lesson in the blues. n.pr/4tPjN7o
NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.
Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.
Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.
My report:
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Voiding documents that make it legal for people to move through the world normally—especially but not exclusively when you give them no practical opportunity to get new ones even if they wanted to—is (still) not about bathrooms or sports. It’s about erasure.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
It’s not “identity politics” to not want to be denied equality or mistreated because of your identity. In case anyone was wondering.
Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the State of the Union:

President Trump just said, “We lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.”
A reminder of what happened to those 2.4 million Americans:
FBI Director Kash Patel has repeatedly come under scrutiny for reports that he used FBI aircraft for non-official travel, such as trips to a wrestling match at Penn State University and an excursion to a hunting resort in Texas. @benjaminweiss.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/whistleblowe...
A new lawsuit targets feds’ immigration observer surveillance: “Absent injunctive relief, Plaintiffs must either abandon their constitutional rights or accept being cataloged and branded as ‘domestic terrorists.’ That is a choice the Constitution does not require Plaintiffs, or anyone, to make.“
It took nearly a year for this killing to become public, so one can only imagine that far more have been killed by ICE/CBP agents than we may ever know.
Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office
Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.
One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
Spectacular reporting by @wired.com
The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
Chris, of course, does a great job summarizing the highlights of this truly remarkable and sobering transcript.
That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.
