The centrist think tank Third Way is trying to cancel Hasan Piker as part of its broader campaign to marginalize the left. The good news is no one has to listen to this stuff. We should take note of the Dems who do. More at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/third-way-...

- @andrewperez.bsky.social and I have a scoop in this morning’s @zeteo.com First Draft: the “gay ayatollah” thing was made up and spread by trump advisers in and outside the government. There is no credible intel on it; it’s a pysop, per trumpy sources in position to know zeteo.com/p/gay-ayatol...

🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Who's got the best weekend read-style article on the Afroman lawsuit? This is very important

What’s interesting is we absolutely note this in the article. I am relieved to see you remain a lying scold on this website too

In today’s First Draft, we look at what it means for democracy when an interest group can spend many millions of dollars on fake political arguments designed to trick voters zeteo.com/p/aipac-illi...

New: zeteo.com/p/trump-send...

the latest from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me, on this fascist ‘GTA’ wannabe presidency zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

Jared Golden, one of the four Dems who opposed the War Powers resolution, previously helped write this op-ed www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

As @andrewperez.bsky.social and I report here, including by quoting an email from the trump White House we got more than a year ago, the supposed last straw for Noem was also (lol) based on obvious lies. Trump signed off. Noem has been telling this story for more than a year, publicly…

Here's a story everyone's missed about DHS's $220 million ad campaign... beyond that the ads all praise Trump. Every single ad buy for the DHS ads has been placed by the Trump campaign's ad buying firm, Strategic Media Services, records show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You must lick the boot but never show your tongue. You must carry out the crimes but evade scrutiny for them. Or maybe she's just not blonde.

by far the best, ballsiest, and most in-depth story on noem's firing so far. @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social @zeteo.com open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Trump fired his DHS chief for running a $220 million ad campaign praising him zeteo.com/p/trump-kris...

First Draft: The Vote to Stop the War? Congress has a chance this week to block further US military action in Iran. Gavin Newsom says the A-word about Israel. And a clear victory for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate primary. From @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/first-draf...

Stole it from @andrewperez.bsky.social ; shall expand into a reported column soon

My family and friend tell me ICE had a chopper overhead, three blacked-out cars filled with agents in masks, the local sheriff, and a fire department van on hand to detain a bunch of landscapers in South Florida today.

"Meet Bari Weiss’s Israel Flag-Waving News Correspondent" Zeteo meda columnist @justinbaragona.bsky.social's latest on how the CBS News editor's new hires have other staffers wondering if they work for the 'we love Israel' network. Subscribed to his weekly 'Ragebait' media news column yet?

🇺🇸 Trump's Very Boring Fascist Rally The president turns the annual State of the Union address in Congress into a bumbling hatefest. Read today's 'First Draft' by @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social. zeteo.com/p/first-draf...

"The President Must Be Removed From Office" Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit. zeteo.com/p/time-for-t...

Is this even satire?

NEW: One of Trump's top "regulators" is working to block regulation of prediction markets like Polymarket & Kalshi. Turns out, his old firm reps Polymarket. And he's using his role to join a legal battle his old colleagues are in to defend the markets. And his old client helped Kalshi raise $185M.

You should really read today’s edition (below) of @zeteo.com’s FIRST DRAFT newsletter. Not just for this from Mehdi but reporting in here from @andrewperez.bsky.social @premthakker.bsky.social and me and more from the rest of the Zeteo crew Subscribe!!

Trump’s CFTC chair Mike Selig wants to shield prediction markets from state regulators. Selig’s old law firm reps Polymarket. His old client led Kalshi’s funding round last year. Selig, the law firm, and ex-client have all filed briefs in the same case. Up at @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/trump-mike...

First Draft: Randy Too Racist for Republicans? GOP leaders have nothing to say about the biggest Islamophobe in Congress, at least one famous Republican can still admit slavery was bad, and Trump just deported a sick baby. From @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/first-draf...

No Money for Murder. No Funding for Fascism. No Payouts for Pedophiles.

"The campaign of terror that Trump is waging against Minnesota, and the United States, isn’t ending yet. It's evolving." Swin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez for Zeteo detail how Trump officials frame Minnesota as a warzone amid plans to reduce operations. Read here: zeteo.com/p/trump-minn...

Update: The federal indictment against Kyle Wagner confirms our reporting, that Wagner was arrested and charged with cyberstalking right-wing agitator Jayden Scott (who allegedly stalked a Minnesota reporter before this) and NOT federal agents. /

Susan Collins decides to support the SAVE America Act months after Maine voted 64-36% to reject a voter ID measure

ICE acknowledges its agents lied, DHS keeps the tweet up anyway

New @zeteo.com ‘FIRST DRAFT’ just dropped zeteo.com/p/first-draf... 📈 📉 💥 😬 😥 😟

Hot take: People should closely read Trump admin complaints rather than reciting whatever it is DHS writes in a tweet. If they did, they might have found a very interesting story here. Thanks to @jsweetli.bsky.social for digging in here for @zeteo.com bsky.app/profile/jswe...

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott. zeteo.com/p/trump-admi...

The Trump administration arrested a supposed ‘antifa domestic terrorist’ for ‘cyberstalking’ a controversial right-wing agitator who showed up at a reporter’s home to threaten him. zeteo.com/p/trump-admi...

New: Susan Collins raised more from AIPAC donors last year than small donors. We asked her campaign about it. They hung up. Last year, we asked if she knew how many Americans the Israeli military had killed. She replied: “I am pro-Israel.” @minnahfarshad.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social

To be fair, that $75M came out of Amazon's corporate coffers - the larger cash reserves compiled by the company viciously brutalizing its workforce. Thankfully for Jeff, one of the world's richest men, 'Melania' probably didn't cost him a dime

Susan Collins raised more money from AIPAC donors last year than small donors. When we asked her campaign spokesperson about it, he hung up. New w/ @minnahfarshad.bsky.social @premthakker.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

Reached for comment, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said that Trump “is working hard on behalf of the American people,” adding: “If he did attend the Super Bowl, he would receive a warm welcome because America knows he has done more to help this country than any other president in history”

Trump is not attending this year’s Superbowl Sunday 🏈… because he’s scared of being boo-ed. 👎👎👎 Read all about Trump’s excuses including the line-up being “too woke” only on zeteo.com: zeteo.com/p/trump-supe...

“Administration officials and advisers had privately assessed that if Trump were to attend Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California, the crowd at the stadium would likely aggressively boo him, @zeteo.com has learned.” More from @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social ⬇️

Trump claimed he’s skipping the Super Bowl because it’s “too far away.” Privately, Trump’s advisers warned he would likely get booed if he went to Sunday’s big game, sources tell Zeteo. Read the latest from @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/trump-supe...
