A leaked GOP memo warns Silicon Valley that AI data centers poll worse than nuclear waste — exposing a party caught between the donors who funded the buildout and the constituents paying for it in higher utility bills and degraded infrastructure.
After years of denial, the IDF opened criminal probes into the killing of Hind Rajab and 15 Gaza medics. Its own institutional track record — clearances in the World Central Kitchen and MSF cases, no charges after Shireen Abu Akleh — tells you what these investigations are designed to produce.
Israel has opened formal construction tenders for the E1 corridor, the project that would permanently divide the West Bank in two. Decades of international condemnation have produced no enforcement — and that is not a diplomatic failure. It is the intended outcome.
Five years after withdrawal, the U.S. has cut the humanitarian funding that was keeping Afghan mothers and children alive — and the administration knew exactly what would happen when it did.
The Pentagon has given 30 universities — including Harvard, MIT, and Johns Hopkins — two weeks to cut foreign academic partnerships or lose federal funding. The directive doesn't protect American research dominance. It threatens the conditions that produced it.
Ten years after PROMESA created an unelected fiscal control board to service Puerto Rico's debt, more than 150,000 residents are under water rationing. The infrastructure didn't fail by accident — it was defunded by design.
Internal DHS records show undercover agents infiltrated community meetings, penetrated Signal chats, and obtained financial records of unions and nonprofits opposing ICE operations in Minnesota. This is not a story about overreach — it is a description of how the system is now designed to work.
The CIA ran a covert boat-strike campaign near the Galápagos Islands, separate from the Pentagon's acknowledged operation that has killed at least 220 people. Survivors were hooded, cuffed, and flown to El Salvador. Eight men from the fishing boat Fiorella are still missing.
The DOJ has accused California's two women's prisons of failing to protect incarcerated women from staff sexual abuse — a direct challenge to the state's carefully constructed identity as a national model for criminal justice reform.
A $70 million AI industry super PAC is reshaping Democratic primaries with the same logic as AIPAC: fund the candidates least likely to regulate you, and make accountability expensive. Greg Casar wants his party to name what's happening before it's too late.
Marco Rubio has launched a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court, framing it as a sovereignty issue. The court's active investigations implicate U.S. conduct in Afghanistan and Gaza. The timing is not coincidental.
New Jersey has subpoenaed GEO Group, the private prison corporation operating Delaney Hall, after multiple detainee deaths and accounts of beatings in retaliation for hunger strikes. The state civil rights investigation is now the only functioning oversight of a facility the federal government has r
A bill framed around 'organized retail crime' would install ICE as the lead federal agency on commercial theft — giving the immigration enforcement agency a new statutory mandate to operate in communities where immigrant workers are concentrated.
The DNC's autopsy author found that Gaza policy cost Harris measurable votes in Michigan — then kept that chapter out of the official report. The omission tells you exactly who the document was written to protect.
ICE will deploy body cameras by the end of next month — under a policy that lets the agency's own director decide whether the public ever sees the footage. The cameras are real. The accountability is not.
The White House finalized an AI safety testing framework — then decided only the companies being tested would see the results. That's not oversight. It's a liability shield built with industry input.
