Right wing screeching about the “war on Christianity” never includes complaints about secret police raiding houses of worship to rip families apart (or, for that matter, bombing churches in Palestine)

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

Beyond the direct harms that the Trump administration is perpetrating, it's important to not lose sight of the enormous opportunity costs. During his first term, it was the failure to invest in infrastructure when interest rates were at absurdly low levels. (Tax cuts for the rich instead!)

40 years ago, Colombia's Nevado del RuĂz volcano had a minor eruption. That eruption rapidly melted the glaciers on the volcano's summit, triggering a series of large, debris-filled floods called lahars. One of these lahars rapidly covered the town of Armero, killing at least 23,000 people.

The Supreme Court won't halt Tremane Wood's execution. Only KBJ notes her dissent. Prosecutors struck most Black jurors then lied at trial, concealing secret deals with witnesses. Wood's lawyer was on cocaine and barely met with him. His brother admitted to the killing but only got life in prison.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.
