Gonna give 30 million Venezuelans the right to move to the United States.

Good morning. Gas is over $6 a gallon in many places. Farms are going bankrupt. Billions are being wasted on a war that’s making us weaker. And this week, Republicans will spend their time trying to get taxpayers to fund Trump’s parties.

I wrote in March about the billionaire ownership class’ doomed strategy of trying to attract readers by pivoting right — and who it ends up hurting.

Trump retreats to the Fox-Trump feedback loop as his polling craters. His his loyal supplicants are providing him with an endless stream of happy talk. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/tru...

It is interesting how Trump quietly accepted the Gulf states denying U.S. military access to their airspace for Iran operations after blasting NATO countries for doing the same thing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

The president of the United States was watching television last night. Left, Fox News, 8:12 p.m. Right, Trump, 9:08 p.m.

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

the odyssey should be in the authentic language (ancient greek) like everyone's favorite movie, apocalypto

the story about fertilizer/diesel re: food production is -huge news- in local media and in trade publications. www.mediamatters.org/fuel-files-r...

holy shit this is real shop.indycar.com/products/inc...

Looks like the feds gave a heads-up to their favorite ride-along buddy Bill Melugin, always a sign that's something's being done with noble intent

Aside from the embrace of Wellness Eugenics I think RFK jr's moves all make sense if you are trying to destroy actual medical industries and replace them with wellness snake oil. We can all agree on the greed of the former but at least they create actual usable products

Honestly my biggest takeaway from this clip is that Obama is very consciously elevating Mamdani (whom he cites unprompted as an example of the right way to do this) as a model while other top Dems still shirk him.

PROTECT THE DSA INFILTRATION OF THE NY TIMES REAL ESTATE SECTION AT ALL COSTS!

I think Barack Obama knows more than I do about how to get swing voters to vote for a Democratic candidate.

Fox guest Keith Kellogg on Iran: “Romans … went down to Carthage, they burned it to the ground, they took 50,000 prisoners and they finished the job. There was no more Carthage, and in fact they didn’t cause them problems again in the future. We ought to do that to the Iranians as well.”

1. Tear up negotiated nuclear inspections regime with Iran, impose sanctions. 2. Iran enriches uranium. 3. Start war against Iran. 4. Iran closes Strait of Hormuz. 5. Get Iran to give up enriched uranium, reopen strait, and restore inspections regime in exchange for sanctions relief. ???

We know that if and when Iran reopens the strait, Trump and every bad faith actor in his orbit will pretend to believe Trump is vindicated—and that really, only he could’ve triumphed so exquisitely. It’s thus very important to set the bar now: a humiliating, pointless, eternally discrediting defeat.

The Fox/Trump ”nuke” justification for the Iran war — and the higher prices it's wrought — has collapsed www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

One thing is, okay, let’s set aside the fact that Kennedy is a conspiracy-theory crank with zero credentials. Isn’t “the government jumps into health care to micromanage what sorts of treatments are available” THE EXACT THING REPUBLICANS HAVE SUPPOSEDLY BEEN ANGRY ABOUT SINCE 2010?

"Tucker Carlson has spent his entire career running the same rhetorical move. He identifies a real, legitimate problem. He builds the reader’s trust through the diagnosis. Then he uses that trust to deliver an extremist payload," @parkermolloy.com writes on Tucker. www.readtpa.com/p/dont-fall-...

“They hope everybody folds because the process is the punishment, and that paves the way for them to do it to more people and exert power, especially over the media.” www.mediamatters.org/ms-now-msnbc...

Closing in on two months since Trump posted this:

It's not quite that they pretend those killings never happened -- they developed an alternate narrative in which the killer was actually a leftist working for Tim Walz. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/aft...

Me in 2022: "There is no news value in interviewing [Tucker] Carlson. If they try to inform their audiences about the Fox host by talking to him, they will fail, because he is relentlessly dishonest and extremely good at what he does." www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carls...

I talked with @nataliekorach.bsky.social about the split between Fox News and the Fox diaspora over the Iran war.

President Trump is correct that Rudy Giuliani’s deranged advocacy for overturning the 2020 election is the most important aspect of his career and should be the focus when he departs this world.

This is gonna sound weird — and I don’t want to do spoilers on an opening weekend — but if you’ve worked at the Washington Post over the last few years and have any unresolved feelings about it, then you may want to pump the brakes about seeing The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Media Matters Saphier is the 25 th current or former Fox employee ...

How low can he go? Here’s a reference point: 27% of Illinois voters picked Alan Keyes over Barack Obama in their 2004 race for U.S. Senate.

Megyn Kelly: “That is why the president's poll numbers on approval for this war continue to drop into the basement”

Trump's new nominee for surgeon general argued in a February 2020 appearance that “the economic and emotional toll from misinformation is going to hit us much harder than this virus is in itself.” www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Updated the omnibus -- Trump has named **25** current or former Fox employees to high-ranking positions since he was elected president — and more seem sure to follow. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Nicole Saphier, Trump's new pick for U.S. Surgeon General, has appeared on Fox News over 640 times.

Saphier is the 25th current or former Fox employee that Trump has selected for a top post in his second administration. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Recent Justice Department indictments whose validity have been questioned by legal experts demonstrate an increasing alignment of the Trump DOJ’s activities with the narratives of the MAGA media echo chamber. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/doj...

President Trump's Iran war is causing gas prices to hit record highs. But don't worry, he is laser-focused on the issues that matter most to him: Firing comedians over jokes at his expense, prosecuting enemies over bullshit, and building a 250-foot arch and ballroom. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Like the weak SPLC and Comey cases, the best way to think about this is an attempt to sync up law enforcement with the right-wing media narrative machine.

important to realize that even their audience isn't buying this stuff

meanwhile, amazon still selling merch like this lol

Legalizing sports gambling and making it ubiquitous and frictionless was a terrible idea. slate.com/technology/2...

many people are saying that if donald trump had a 30 ft tall mechanical spider that shoots nanowire webs he'd be protected from james comey and his shells

Indict Kash Patel for this look.
