Part of what happens on here re journalism is exactly this. Sure there are many valid critiques of media. But there are also people rage farming over lapses that are minor at best.

Watch the interview.

Having spent the weekend in DC, let me assure you that no matter how much you think you hate what he’s done to our capital, you should hate it more. Giant banners of his mugshot, tacky gold paint on the statues, a fucking UFC cage on the White House lawn and armed troops everywhere. (spits)

Scott Pelley says "CBS News is on fire" and Bari Weiss should be removed from her job. Here's my new write about a clash that's been fueled by mutual distrust and clouded by political drama: www.cnn.com/2026/06/07/m...

"Your social media feed is dominated by the loudest, best-connected nodes. Their opinions can feel like the majority consensus even when it’s not."

These banners have been hanging in DC for more than half a year, in the center of government, where there is a huge media presence, and yet I keep meeting people who have no idea/think it's fake or a protest thing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has issued a pardon to Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana who served nearly two years in prison for making illegal stock trades based on inside information after he left office. apnews.com/article/buye...

82 years ago, Normandy, France.

/2 Also: notice the parallels between Trumpism and the sort of Matt Stoller politics on display here: the notion that what the people really want is to be able to be douchebags in public without any social sanction. The commonality is being assholes; whether it’s for left or right is just cosplay.

I feel like if you’re suggesting that being a misogynist dipshit is essential to political success, that says more about you than it does about politics.

Same shitty person thinks 86 is a death threat.

The only ball put in play Friday night against Jhoan Duran was on a pitch that slipped out of his hand. He hasn’t allowed a batter to reach in five straight outings. “I’d say maybe I am closer to my spot, to what I’ve been in the past.” There’s more? www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

I don't know if anyone I ever dated would have "nothing but good things" to say about me, but I know for sure that none would say that I assaulted them or locked them in a room overnight because I was mad.

Have you noticed that our political campaigns are almost completely devoid of ideas? No arguing over the size and scope of government. No arguing over America’s role in the world. It’s all personalities, “vibes,” and memes. Our political culture has been badly degraded.

OMB is forcing “the Smithsonian to spend congressionally appropriated funding in a way that’s ‘consistent with the FY 2026 President’s Budget’ in order to receive it. The president’s budget differed widely from what Congress ultimately chose to fund.” www.notus.org/trump-white-...

JUST IN: Judge Mary McElroy (Trump/RI) refers DOJ attorneys to the court discipline committee over handling of fight over trans medical care subpoenas to RI Hospital. Earlier she agreed that presumption of regularity for govt 'no longer holds.' storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is incredible. In the Maine recruiting, Platner was the second choice to a guy who was ruled out for having a "skeleton" in the closet. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

“We feared that our returning might be construed as an endorsement of the existing power structure. That is simply, categorically not the case.Here's why we're are staying: We don't want to see 60 Minutes die.”

News: Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, and Jon Wertheim have decided to remain at “60 Minutes.”

WTF? I mean, I can't imagine how this isn't a crime.

The NRA's internal drama isn't over yet. In fact, it's ramping up.

The fusion center, housed inside the Philadelphia Police Dept, warned that “disruptive First Amendment activity” is an “indicator” of risk from “Domestic Violent Extremists" ✏️ @theintercept.com

“Darryl Brown, a sergeant in the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, was caught with the missing items after the photojournalist [Angelina Katsanis, on assignment at Delaney Hall for the AP] used a geo-tracking device to trace her missing gear to his home, the state’s attorney general said Thursday.”

We don’t care about Nazi vibes. We don’t care about shitty behavior toward women. We just care about beating the enemy. Our candidate is an authentic fresh face and speaks for those left behind. Identical to MAGA.

Interesting. What does she think should happen to Jeffrey Epstein's self-described best friend?

Weird that the guy with the Nazi tattoo turned out to be awful.

This entire storyline has bummed me out so much.

As grocery prices continue to rise nationally, the House passed an appropriations bill that would cut $141 million in funding for a program that helps pregnant women and children purchase healthy foods.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House passes bill to aid Ukraine and sanction Russia in a sign of impatience with Trump's approach to the war.

Holy shit I mean I sort of expected some version of this given what we knew about the guy, but holy shit

The new Trump Presidential Library, the entity responsible for preserving White House records, says it cannot find a single Twitter direct message sent by a president who tweeted more than 25,000 times during his first term — raising questions about compliance with the Presidential Records Act.

Folks, this is fake. And by “fake” I don’t mean AI but rather this isn’t posted on Trump’s account. (And the formatting is off — his handle/pic is indented.)
