Thread of stories run by Bari Weiss's group blog that did not ask the targets of (frequently uncorroborated) accusations for comment, let alone give them a preemptive veto over the story:

Trump administration in full support-Putin mode

For 2024 (last year), CDC estimates 80,391 drug overdose deaths in the United States, a 26.9% decrease from 2023. I always say he’s the worst at math.

There's always a Tweet.

Bari Weiss's legacy:

"Thanks SCOTUS for deciding we can just say 'national security concerns' and we can literally do whatever we want!"

Trump just hates wind turbines. That's it. That's the real reason. This is nonsense.

this just has me thinking about how so much of this government and the movement around it is purely a matter of aesthetics. is there a strategic reason for produce a new warship? maybe. but my hunch is that this is happening because the president thinks it will look cool.

After failing in court, the Trump administration stops wind projects again but this time the reasons are secret security concerns to make them harder to challenge

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

The three magic words, "national security concerns", that allows the administration to do anything they want without justification

Though I could not stand to watch, a Vance-Cruz debate could be epic

Ohhh, Vance definitely took a side.

New in PN: The regime's new Epstein coverup will backfire "Trump believes stonewalling will protect him from damage. But he’s a fool. He *has* sustained substantial damage and more is coming. It's not justice. It will, though, weaken a regime of fascists. And while that’s not enough, it matters."

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Since a lot of people seem to be confused, this is what fascism sounds like in the American context.

I honestly get most of my base-level "wtf is going on in the world" from Aaron these days. He does the heavy lifting, and deserves support for it.

Are we like the Somali pirates now?

Based on the 11-year running mean (and on Earth's Energy Imbalance), the near-term rate of warming could turn out much higher than the linear 2010-2025 extrapolation. The next El Niño peak will be very informative for the rate of global warming, as @drjamesehansen.bsky.social points out:

OMG that is fantastic!

Last month on the Jon Stewart show when China's energy policy came up in an interview he immediately responded that china was building new coal power plants as fast as they can. We need to get people to understand reality and the US media is not helping.

Nor native Americans. We keep telling you: It's all about race. It's white nationalism. U.S. anniversary coins won’t feature any Black Americans or notable women www.washingtonpost.com/nation/inter...

This is just gutter white nationalist agitprop from Stephen Miller. A good time to read our deep dive into Miller's ideological fanaticism (see below)

Agree 💯 👇

The order said the victims should be protected, so they are just protecting "the real victim here."

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

There are people being paid by the federal government to sit around and think of increasingly outrageous posts to titillate Nazis on the 9th most popular social media site in the U.S.

This is a must-read thread from @seancasten.bsky.social It's long and should be published as a blog/article but be sure to read it all.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

@mollymckew.bsky.social shows how the NYT now takes the Trump/Putin positioning points around the Russian invasion of Ukraine: making any initiative by Ukraine sound indefensible.

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

“they” is a person here and should face whatever law we can bring to bear, civil or criminal.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

This a bizarre story. After promising Congress not to implement a scheme to turn the Coast Guard into a haven for Hitler and lynching fans, the Trump Regime made a late night gambit to re-Nazify the Coast Guard, apparently thinking nobody would notice. 1/

This is indistinguishable from a post by The Onion.

It's a good thing we know science is a hoax so that we can assume a publication called science is just a collection of hoaxes so that we can ignore this type of hoaxism.

OMG!!

Certainly

It won't change the name but you can bet they will change all the signage anyway.

A THIRD AG James “no true bill” by DOJ, with failed attempt to keep secret, is full gangster gong show.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

oh so now the woke left wants to make it illegal for Trump (golden age economy; zero migration) to have friends

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man
