First of all, the prosecutor was Emil Bove, a Trump ally who just got rewarded with a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. Second of all, he's now saying he didn't know anything about it and relied on what "people said" (Christ) but just ten days ago he was claiming he'd pored over the records.

SPJ strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s latest attacks on journalists, including his disparaging treatment of Mary Bruce during Monday’s Oval Office press availability, and his recent “Quiet, piggy” insult aimed at Catherine Lucey. 🔗Read the full statement: www.spj.org/spj-statemen...

Seems like an important detail

"The American media is not made for this moment," HuffPost senior White House correspondent @svdate.bsky.social tells CJR. "And we, unfortunately, collectively have not figured out a way to convey the seriousness of it to our audience." With Ivan L Nagy. www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

Breaking News: Marc Benioff, the Salesforce CEO, apologized for saying President Trump should send the National Guard to San Francisco.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

Remember those claims about Haitians eating people’s cats and dogs in Ohio? Hasn’t come up since the election 🤔 But vicious lies have consequences Journalist @terrymoran.bsky.social tells @groundedpodcast.bsky.social what’s going on now+what’s next groundedpodcast.substack.com/p/terry-mora...

Sometimes “two weeks” means never, sometimes it means two days. One thing that’s for sure is it never means two weeks.

The ignorance and arrogance here Made possible in part by being hundreds of miles away from an aggressor that wants to reclaim an empire it lost and simply has no rights to anymore if ever. How nice it must be to be insulated by multiple borders. www.politico.eu/article/nato...

How is this not a bigger story/scandal?

I guess it really is Liberation Day!

We must have missed where the right wing media went after Elon for not wearing a suit

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

have said for a month that Ukraine must look to Europe and elsewhere for support. This proves it. It is time for Ukraine to do this without the US. We are no longer a country that stands by our stated values and ideals - we are now morally small, vicious, and petty.

And today, in front of the press, anyone who still wasn’t sure got the confirmation: you’re alone. The U.S. will not help you.

BREAKING The White House says that Steve Witkoff has just left Russia on his plane with US citizen and teacher Marc Fogel who has been wrongfully detained since 2021!

Just a throwback to a segment we did just a few months ago at my old job on Project 2025 Just throwing it out there. youtu.be/H2xnJNorxGw?...

Sharing this interview here that we did at my previous employer with one of the officers who fought to defend the Capitol and U.S. democracy on that shameful day 4 years ago. History shouldn’t be rewritten or forgotten to shield and please those responsible. youtu.be/C_nwzhhjTBA?...

Here is my latest op-ed. The GOP have betrayed Capitol Police yet again…all while claiming to be the party of law and order. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/o...

lot of strong work by photo editors today on musk/trump stories but this might be the winner www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Made the whole thing up

Tulsi Gabbard’s ex-aides say that the former congresswoman, whom Donald Trump has nominated as the next director of national intelligence, used to regularly consume Russian state media. newrepublic.com/post/189066/...

He praised the owner of the platform. The owner then reposted it to his over 200 million followers and used his algorithm to boost it just like he did to manipulate the election. And the take on that it is, ‘look how many people agree with me that Musk is right.’ Pretty damn sad.

This is what oligarchy is folks. 

This is how you defend your democracy against a tyrant.

This is my favorite kind of right-after-an-election report: the kind that conspicuously would only have been newsworthy pre-election

Oh? Mr. “I’ll talk to anyone” rejected Zelensky?

Oh so NOW you’re telling America?!

I hate to repost this highly misogynist meme but I want to highlight what @ianbassin.bsky.social is saying. This is not business as usual.

He got away with literally all of it

MUST WATCH: Aiming to 'radicalize Main Street,' Christian nationalists set sights on tiny Jackson County, Tennessee www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

They want to go back to an America before the civil rights movement "ruined everything." They want to kick out legal immigrants even if they became U.S. citizens decades ago. And they want to put women back where they think they belong. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Geee you don’t say…

They said “he seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.” Lol what?! Do they really believe that? As if we don’t have nearly a decade now of denouncing every Democrat as communist fascist scum? BFFR. If you just want access, own it. Don’t gaslight.
