Continuing a trend that has continued for 30 years I am currently flying to a country on vacation that is experiencing a significant news event. This time I’m heading to Tirana, Albania, where people are protesting a luxury resort on untouched coastline planned by the Kushners

Stunningly important journalism
NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Wild how many people are in my mentions saying things like “All thanks to the SPLC” — like that’s something witty or clever. The SPLC paid informants to infiltrate groups like this. To suggest those few people account for most extremists is just ignorant & smacks of denialism.
SCOOP: I got exclusive internal documents from the white supremacist group Patriot Front, showing the group is in 49 states and has grown fast. The docs outline strict rules on propaganda and show the group’s expansion into racist “active clubs”: usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

Wow. Also where’s my copy?
In a new court filing, the Southern Poverty Law Center says DOJ inappropriately sent a draft grand jury indictment of SPLC to reporters, with even the prosecutor in the case unaware of what was going on. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

“Members of Patriot Front idolize Hitler, they joke about the Holocaust, they use racial slurs and they very much want to psychologically traumatize nonwhite groups – they are very comfortable being white supremacists in private.” -- Researcher Jeff Tischauser

I used to live two blocks from the Trump hotel in Rio de Janeiro and watched the Trump logo being removed after its developers were prosecuted and jailed for corruption
Trump Tower Tbilisi's real estate developers? Turns out they are actually online casino operators tied to a sanctioned pro-Russian oligarch. Associated companies have been fined millions.

"An Associated Press investigation found that at least 10 detainees, all men, have died by suicide since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, a pace that far exceeds the growth in the detainee population... ICE has usually recorded one or no such deaths annually."

For @TheInterceptBr, I tracked down where Eduardo Bolsonaro is living: Southlake, Texas — one of the wealthiest communities in America. He is renting a ritzy mansion that is described in public listings as offering "a resort lifestyle." intercept.com.br/2026/05/27/…
