dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools. We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%. Thirty-two percent...

“I’m not going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country…We’re going to kill them. You know, they’re going to be, like, dead” - the antiwar president! Give him a Nobel!

Lacking some good news? here's some.. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

I remember when ICANN asked for the purpose of a TLD. Ex- If you see a ".org" now, this does NOT mean it is non-profit, or commercial free site. Anyone can get a .org/.net/.com for any undisclosed purpose. In the 90s/00s they were *very* strict. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.org#Hi... #enshittification

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

“Rather than AI being able to enhance human innovation, critical thinking, the progress of science—it’s being used to exploit our insecurities. That’s the thing about so many of these Silicon Valley tech bros. They’re essentially emotionally maladapted psychopaths.” Speaking nothing but the truth.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq. Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID? And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina. Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

SCOTUS has been focused on chipping away at civil rights laws and policies for 20 years. Today, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent not just another chip, but a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

“The girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa”

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Fun trick: Every time Trump says ‘Antifa,’ swap in ‘MAGA’—suddenly, what he's saying becomes true.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

The federal government is shut down because Trump & Congressional Republicans want higher healthcare costs for working people, even stripping care from millions. Why? To give tax giveaways to billionaires, while expanding the fastest growing class in America: the working poor.

Where have we seen this before?

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits. Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Why is war criminal allowed to give a speech at the UN? Does not compute. But what's new? news.un.org/en/story/202...

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/
