"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends." The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Yes, that was probably the best game I’ve ever seen. Wowwowwow.

Think I just decided 3 am is my personal curfew.

I desperately need someone to win this game so I can go to bed.

LSU is paying Brian Kelly $54 million not to coach football. And hardly anyone cares.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

LE BATARD, on Kimmel: “.. you can’t look at what’s happening here and NOT say that this is a kind of threat that you have not seen before in the United States ..”

What Yvonne said!

I wrote about the groypers and the Fuentes-Kirk fight years ago, in Hate in the Homeland. Cautioning here that there is still a lot to know about the shooter’s motivation, I’m sharing these two paragraphs here to set the history of this fight in context:

Ain't that America?

I’m surprised - to put it mildly - that Tania Fernandez Anderson would endorse a D7 candidate, given how she left the office.

UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

Still waiting for someone of prominence to admit it was not about eggs.

You gotta hand it to Eric Adams. 90% of politicians are corrupt but he’s the only one also dumb enough to have staff write “CRIMEZ” on an envelope and hand it to a reporter.

Sixty years ago today LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act into law, and among those to whom he handed a signing pen was 25-year-old Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee chair John Lewis, just a few months after Bloody Sunday in Selma.

😡😡😡

I grew up on Cronkite. This is disgusting and so sad.

The CNN doc on Live Aid is excellent, at least so far. Such a different time.

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

As the US Army celebrates it 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating the enemy that tried to defeat it.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

that’s right
