My friend Dan Cerrillo died in 2023, insisting he'd taken the fall for a killing the CIA committed. He was one of the Navy SEALs prosecuted for abusing an Iraqi, who died hours later in a torture position in CIA custody.
Newly declassified documents from my four-year FOIA fight prove he was right

Spoke with @TheAtlantic about the oil market's ongoing transfixed fascination with what's happening in China.
What we know, what we still don't—and may never—know about China's crude import collapse, and what it all means for the future of the oil market.

America’s greatest rival is single-handedly averting a global energy crisis, and no one knows how the country is doing it—or why, Rogé Karma argues. theatlantic.com/economy/2026…

If @TMZ was serious about covering Capitol Hill they would be at Mike Simpson’s bird hearing.

This ex-spy helped stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon. And this article was among the most intense that I have ever reported:

Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!
If the footage on Pretti’s phone was in any way “good” for this administration, that shit would have been leaked by now. Look at how fast Ross’s footage leaked. (Because they somehow thought it was exonerating)

Okay so,
1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution
2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents
3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen
4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement
You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.
I’m probably just a pessimist with PTSD, but I remember having a similar hopeful (almost jubilant) feeling after Harris took over the democratic nomination.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia.

FIRST PRISONERS OF WAR IN DRUG CAMPAIGN?
The U.S. military is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after rescuing them in the aftermath of a U.S. strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean on Thursday that killed two others, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.

So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.
