"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

The now-former political analyst claims MSNBC caved to a “Right Wing media mob” in deciding to fire him.

Ghislaine Maxwell also maintains that she did not engage in any “wrongdoing” herself, despite being convicted of multiple felonies. Maybe Ghislaine’s judgment is not worth shit, just something to consider

Donald Trump lies about EVERYTHING.

For all of the trolls: Wes Moore risked his life in Afghanistan. He earned a Bronze Star. Paperwork delayed it, and the Army fixed it in 2024. Fact. Check. Done. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

incredible that mainstream media keeps announcing that the story they "missed" during the election was biden's age, even though it got constant coverage for years, and not "donald trump was close friends with notorious pedophile jeffrey epstein"

“We had no idea it was going to do what it did,” said Jeff Howell, the now-retired emergency manager in Yancey County, NC. “We had no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what’s happened here — none whatsoever,” said Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly. @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social

We may be witnessing "a bill so ill-timed,ill-designed and predictably harmful to the economy that it will be this era’s Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act,which accelerated the decline during the Great Depression,but has since become a poster child of Congress working against the country’s economic interest."

I’m surprised they didn’t cut to a still shot and “Swan Lake.”

Integrity. Honor. Decency. Compassion. There was a time when we had all of those traits in our President. Thank you Pres. Biden for taking the time to respect, recognize, and honor the incredible lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman, as well as their beloved Gilbert.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Thanks Trump.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

I’ve been saying this for years. Our MSM have failed us miserably. Because while they’re VERY PROFICIENT at holding Democrats accountable, they’re clueless about doing the same for Republicans. It hurts their feelings to point it out, but it’s necessary if they have any hope for improvement.

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”

ARENDT: "The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is and never compares the lies with reality. Its most cherished virtue, correspondingly, is loyalty to the Leader, who, like a talisman, assures the ultimate victory...

Seriously, please do not let your brain get suckered into the same garbage that MAGA has fallen victim to. There is no need to go conspiracy-mode for easily explainable stuff. Donald Trump won. Rebekah Jones and the "Election Truth Alliance" are just misunderstanding and bastardizing data.

You would not drive a car that, just once a decade, accelerates instead of braking. But the AI models reshaping the web are that: "a technology that works well enough for users to become dependent, but not consistently enough to be truly dependable." My latest, on the internet's janky AI future:

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

How long until Musk sets up a superpac to defeat GOP House members and Senators voting for Trump's budget bill?😂

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

WITAODW: Who is the administrator of DOGE’s weed????

Jeffries: "Every single public poll that has come out since the Trump presidency has had congressional Democrats winning the generic ballot. This is not speculative. In every single high-profile special election Ds have won. So the people are being very clear about who they trust more to govern."

ICE (or maybe DEA? who knows?) shows up again in the same quiet Berkshires town, at a landscaping job site. This time business owners confronted the agents, demanded they show warrants or IDs.

Between this and his West Point address, it’s pretty clear Donald Trump isn’t concerned with the troops and is just in it for himself. No mention of the fallen soldiers from our Commander in Chief.

Re-upping: If *anyone* *anywhere* in US journalism is planning a story this coming week on "Joe Biden's fitness," .. . ... Look at yourself in the mirror and focus on what is happening right now. Our problems, NOW, do not involve Joe Biden.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

The Sneetches know.

If you need a little hope this morning

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

"Tonight we ask all who believe in democracy the best of our American experience, to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring." - Bruce Springsteen 👏

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.” - 1984, George Orwell

I honestly can't believe that Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson released their book about Yoda's old age harming the Rebel Alliance ("Sin, Original It Was") the same week that Palpatine blows up Alderaan.

Anybody out talking to people across the country who have already been hurt by DOGE cuts, etc, would know that this is completely correct⤵️ Those folks are not buying what Jake, Alex & the beltway press are selling. Folks in the real world want the fight taken to trump & MAGA instead.

My Saturday PSA: Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore. Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office. Stop talking about Joe Biden. Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

I’ve been asking this question for days.
