AI’s war on journalism will decide the fate of the free press

I’m not under any illusions that today’s rallies will change anything but at least Pedolph will be reminded that he has an approval rating matched only by pediatric cancer

Jimmy Kimmel has been asking viewers to send in videos with #showmeyourhellhole in Democratic cities President Trump has targeted, including Portland and Washington, D.C. On Thursday night, he turned to a “very special report” filed by Gov. JB Pritzker.

It looked like Walters was going to beat the porn rap, no pun intended. The racy visuals were determined to be from a Bruce Lee movie rather than a porno. So I'm dying to know what looming scandal is actually driving him out of office.

Rare double feature but I gotta sneak this in before the clock strikes midnight @erinbiba.bsky.social

More twisted "science" from RFK Jr forthcoming... Let's focus on the evidence. For example...👇 "Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was NOT associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analyses." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Resign RFK jr

It’ll never not be insane to me that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr told Senators to their faces that he wants to make America healthy again when he’s a known heroin addict steroid abuser and clearly shows signs that he’s sick AF.

I encourage people to read the systemic review RFK jr is expected to cite to claim “Tylenol causes autism” as is a wonderful example of the danger of people who don’t understand the limitations of systematic reviews, and why a single review should not override the totality of scientific evidence.

This is BRILLIANT!! 👏 🤩 For $3.00 you can have someone show up to your reps office in a duck costume to have support having RFK Jr impeached!! 😁 🤣 🐥 🐤

1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

I wasn't overreacting.

The independence of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is vital. If politicized, it can't be trusted as a source of information. Who did Trump just put in charge of the agency? E.J. Antoni — chief economist at the Heritage Foundation and contributor to Project 2025.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

You shouldn’t have to know this, but it’s America 🤷🏼‍♀️ www.huffpost.com/entry/what-d...

The economy is getting worse. Our President is seizing power and planning how to illegally keep the house in the 2026 midterms despite the voters wishes. This is a dictatorship. When the leader doesn't care about the welfare of his people but is solely focused on keeping power.

Can't take away my phone's picture of it.

Ousted vaccine panel members say rigorous science is being abandoned flip.it/ROR9td

We told you they were going to do project 2025 and it’s 2025 and they’re doing project 2025

the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?

MULLIN: There was a sweetheart plea deal that was struck in 2009 under Obama TAPPER: No. It was 2008. The US attorney was Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee. He went on to become Trump's secretary of labor M: Who was in office at the time? T: Bush M: No. Obama was in office TAPPER: Not true

He’s not interesting. He’s not smart. He’s not anything. He’s just a mean, stupid, mediocre narcissist. https://trib.al/fSjSBTh

Musk ordered shutdown of Starlink satellite service as Ukraine retook territory from Russia. Musk told a senior engineer at the California offices of SpaceX, the Musk venture that controls Starlink, to cut coverage in areas including Kherson, a strategic location. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

So.. officially, I'm the last Black staff columnist left in the Washington Post's opinion section.

But her emails...

If only TACO had pursued his talent as a smut artist instead of politics! We'd all be so much better off.

Trump claims that he doesn't draw so he couldn't have done the Epstein "we share a (pedophilia) secret" letter, but here he is incorporating his signature into a (good?!) sketch he made of the Empire State Building, just as the WSJ reported he did with Epstein www.nytimes.com/2017/10/20/a...

I am boycotting CBS & PARAMOUNT. I'll gladly pay for NPR & PBS. Trump can't take it away from us. And I'll follow Colberts anywhere he goes.

Rambling for 20 mins in a soliloquy about mundane unrelated details from one’s day is a great model for a 50 min lecture.

The sky is green, up is down, hell froze over, a pig flew, and I just agreed with psycho nahtzee antisemite Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes is a bad guy … but he’s not wrong.

I don't care if Clinton is in the Epstein files. I don't care if Obama or Biden are in the Epstein files. I don't care if any other Democrats are in the Epstein files. Because I'm not in a cult. I want accountability. It's that simple. Release the Epstein files.

@booker.senate.gov and I just tried to force a vote to allow the prosecutor who blew the whistle on Emil Bove to appear before the Judiciary Committee. Republicans ignored the rules – and rammed Bove through. All that matters to them is power and appeasing their Dear Leader.

The real Rosie reply.
