Let Rep. Thompson give a lesson in Reporting 101 to about half the DC press corps.

My favorite part of this particular video is Glasheen's dramatic accordion hands when he realizes Thompson is not going to let him lie, deflect, deny his way out of this question

this is crazy, these people are 2nd grade-level liars

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys? GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

"Controversial antisemitism training," it turns out, is a euphemism for the training comparing anti-Zionists to the KKK.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

We live in a country where the president can order a comedian to be yanked off TV. What I describe is not a democracy.

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May)

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

if ken cuccinelli is appointed president of UVA all hell will break loose here

you know, i’m not militantly pro city-run groceries — i think it is an interesting idea to pilot and try out! — but i’m getting negatively polarized into being a big supporter just from these incredibly vapid, brain-dead posts.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

one thought i have reading this (great) thread is that the administration has been proceeding as if there is no chance they will ever face a crisis or a sudden challenge, and has destroy its capacity to respond to one should it arise

A man battling stage 4 lung cancer was preparing to fly across the country for a life-changing double-lung transplant when his insurance company denied him coverage

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.

History indeed rhymes. The MAGA NIH canceled grants based on ideology. Covid.gov is pure propaganda. RFK Jr. calls autism an epidemic that is not caused by genetics. Nazi Germany lost many of its talented scientists to the US. The US is moving towards this loss. 🧪🧬 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

every person online who thinks the tariffs are a good idea are people who are trying to figure out how to take their first step as a huamn being

tbh every time Dems say we can't afford things like universal healthcare, we get more people like this

Trump just imposed, by executive order, the single largest tax increase on consumers in American history.

Hopefully nobody has their retirement savings or pension funds invested in the stock market.

My working theory on Trump’s tariff on penguins is that they in some way interfered with a golf outing he had somewhere. Developing …

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

Fucking idiot.

Don’t worry, we’re in good hands. Trump owned an airline, casinos, a university, and a football team and all were hugely successful.

New in PN: Musk is the autopen "Trump is trying to undo Biden’s presidency by claiming he was too incompetent to exercise power while some shadowy figure was running things instead. The juxtaposition is jarring as we are daily confronted w/a POTUS who's vigorously, confidently *not doing his job*"

Trump makes clear that his tariffs are about “penalizing Canada” over fake allegations of drug trafficking

Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

A key point is this-when did Hegseth classify/declassify this stuff. They want us to focus on Waltz adding Goldberg to the chat. That’s bad, but it’s not the bigger story. Hegseth claims no classified material went out. So did he NEVER classify it, or did he declassify it & when?

On the up side I spent a lot of time recently with really pissed off elderly people and poor people and they get it. They get power. And they get bullies. It’s the credentialed among us who are struggling.

this is a good reason to not be doing media but also a good reason to not have run for a leadership position

It's been almost a month since Gerry Connolly did a national media hit. He's the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee!

FBI is turning into online rent-a-cops for CEOs, spying on social media posts it considers threatening to corporate execs, per new FBI doc obtained under FOIA by @ryanshapiro.bsky.social of @propotp.bsky.social. Give them a follow for more FOIA fireworks! www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-become...

JQA was a real one. basically the jimmy carter of antebellum american politics.

honestly a little surprised that this is getting full scandal treatment from the press and i think one reason is that it is secretive. high ranking officials were *hiding* something and the (idiotic) aphorism that the "cover-up is worse than the crime" has kicked the scandal instinct into gear.

FOX: Do you think Democrats are to blame… when your colleagues are saying F Elon Musk.. AOC: I don't know. I think about Republicans calling me a communist and Republicans saying that I hate this country

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other
