We commend ABC for standing up for itself and the First Amendment. It’s about time outlets start telling Brendan Carr to kick rocks. Otherwise, he’ll continue making bogus pretexts to harass and jawbone licensees that air content his boss doesn’t like.

Rand Paul pushes for Anthony Fauci indictment

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

The Minnesota Star Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its coverage of a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church last summer.

Journalists who are still attending the WHCD this year don't seem to get just how much things have changed. It isn't 1998. You're not going to pose for cute photos with the West Wing stars at "nerd prom." You're enabling a regime who's assaulting your own profession & you're torching your career.

Will a single member of the White House press corps, as they dine w/ Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Carr et al this weekend, directly call out people who are undermining journalism? Or will they soft-pedal it with bromides about “the importance of the First Amendment”? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

DoorDash's head of public affairs said "no one is claiming it was a real delivery." I found a few people who were claiming that: Reuters, ABC, CBS, the AP, Fox, Newsmax, The Hill, the New York Post, and CSPAN, for starters. www.readtpa.com/p/a-real-del...

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Punch the monkey has taken over the internet. But why? Primatologist Christine Webb chats with Flora about how anthropomorphism makes us so invested in the social life of a monkey in Japan. Listen to this and more from 2-4 pm ET on your local public radio station. Happy Science Friday! 🐒

Hugo Holland, who is running for judge, once compared a mentally disabled Black teen to a dog during a death penalty case and told the jury to “get rid of it.” Attorneys later found that Holland had failed to turn over a trove of evidence. With @veritenews.org

Goodbye and thank you to the writer Tracy Kidder. Hometown is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

Happy Sunshine Week! DHS tells FOIA officers to hide records or get fired. Plus: Here’s how you can support Rep. Tlaib’s Ellsberg Act, which fixes the outdated Espionage Act to ensure it isn’t used as a cudgel against the press.

Florida's attorney general, who spends his time targeting companies for stuff like “radical LGBTQ+ activism,” is getting paid $100K a year as a Univ of Fla adjunct to teach a 2 hour/week law class. His salary is 8X higher than what the median adjunct earns. 1/ www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

"Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, approved allowing minors to access artificial intelligence chatbot companions that safety staffers warned were capable of sexual interactions, according to internal Meta documents filed in a New Mexico state court case and made public on Monday."

Potent @nytimes.com editorial—"The administration is urging Americans to reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. Ms. Noem and Mr. Bovino are lying in defiance of obvious truths. They are lying in the manner of authoritarian regimes that require people to accept lies as a demonstration of power."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

“Woke Hoth.” Who is he?

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

NYT analysis confirms Pretti’s gun was gone by the time they shot him to death. 10 shots. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Camp East Montana is yet another private detention facility - which means it’s not subject to FOIA. The $1.2 billion contract for this hellhole wasn’t given to a group w/experience in private prisons, either - it was given to Acquisition Logistics LLC, whose largest prior contract was $16 million.

DHS said the man died while he tried to commit suicide and “violently resisted security staff.” A medical examiner called it “asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.” A witness told the Washpost *on the record* that guards choked him as he said, “no puedo respirar.” Gift link⤵️ wapo.st/49FW4NG

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over. They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said. Read the full story: https://propub.li/4qSnVkQ
