“I voted for none of this." Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

NEW from me: Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

when it hits the fan youre going to hear people saying “there was no way to see this coming” and its important to remember those people will be lying to you

What I'm referring to. It's a privilege to be invited onto networks to talk about my reporting but I have limits. Similarly stopped doing NewsNation after Nextar took its Kimmel stance.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

That's crazy, whoever voted to make him head OMB probably shouldn't of done that.

At @nygroove.nyc, James Dolan's tenure has been shot through with a "culture of paranoia." Once MSG installed facial recognition tech, he scaled up. Now a lawsuit reveals just how far he'll go to target his perceived enemies. In Dolan's mind, he has so, so many enemies nygroove.nyc/james-dolan-...

It speaks to how much of a dumb person Hegseth is that he thinks he puts so much emphasis on his disdain for rules against doing war crimes

I wrote about how Trump watched TV (probably Fox) in early September and then decided to send troops to Portland. Right-wing media outlets have spent the entire month painting Portland as a war zone, & Bannon wants the FBI to kick in 1K doors to arrest "antifa." New @mmfa.bsky.social

If ever in doubt on why Trump is doing something, you'll rarely go wrong by just assuming it's part of the Trump-Fox News Feedback Loop.

'out of the three mass shootings today'

I feel for people who cover SCOTUS, you finally get to the weekend and then right at typical eod the Roberts court puts out their 6-3 decision making it legal for Trump to kidnap your neighbor

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

“Ed Martin, the head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) vague weaponization task force, in a recent letter threatened to open a criminal investigation into a now-retired FBI special agent who sued the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over Jones’ lies about a mass school shooting.”

Secretary of Defense doing his best Braveheart reenactment for all our generals

Thune recognizing for the first time this year you can't win elections with GWB levels of disapproval from independents

Interesting to think of all the college kids, professors, & activists over last couple years who were smeared, doxed, arrested, expelled, fired, threatened w/ deportation over calling what Israel was doing a genocide.... & now half of US agrees & UNGA is basically empty in protest of Netanyahu

This is just the most consistent unlearned lesson in Western Democracies this past decade: you can't win these people over, you need to offer an alternative people like better

As Trump Vows War on Left, Ken Klippenstein Reveals Kirk & ICE Shooters Were Disengaged with Politics https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/26/ken_klippenstein_dallas_ice

If this example doesn’t illustrate that media outlets deploy “experts say” as a guard against lawsuits from billionaires, nothing will.

*Stephen Miller sobbing, his arm twitching like Dr. Strangelove right before he does a Nazi salute* "If you call me an authoritarian, I will be FORCED to throw you in PRISON."

Well it's time for Roseanne to get another Fox Nation comedy special I guess

John Thune voted to confirm RFK Jr. He knew RFK Jr. had these types of beliefs. He knew that Donald Trump had spent years talking about the debunked link between vaccines and autism and he endorsed Trump anyway.

New from @mcmasterreed.bsky.social and I for @mmfa.bsky.social: Patrick Bet-David airs a friendly interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes: “You’re sarcastic, you’re a troll — you got all of that, so it’s great for camera” www.mediamatters.org/white-nation...

There's so much money and good press waiting to be picked up by any company willing to go against the admin with near Bush '08 levels of approval with everyone but Republicans

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

it would not be the American century of humiliation without the Trump admin using our tax dollars to try to defend Alex Jones over one of the most heinous lies he ever uttered

It's peak conservatism to effectively baillout Argentina because the guy breaking their economy is their ideological ally

Born too Late to go to war against Afghanistan Born too Early to go to war against Afghanistan Born just in time to go to war against Afghanistan

this isn't complicated, cancel culture is when you make people on the right feel bad for the things they say or companies enforcing their user policies, the full power of the federal government coming against your free speech is totally different

Carlson, much like Vance, is a completely empty vessel who contorts to fit wherever he senses power is, so this should mostly be taken as a savvy assessment of how toxic this shit is

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

“If Jimmy Kimmel gets one more monologue the whole thing falls apart” is a world-historically embarrassing statement of weakness

throws a lot of cold water on the bullshit peddled by the whole austin comedy scene, which has constructed an identity around the idea that the election freed up comics to say whatever they want without fear of cancellation

announcing my new think tank, the "people hate inflation, that's like 90% of why harris lost" institute

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

None of these moderate groups are interested in the actual work of being an alternative to the progressives in their party. They just want to complain

no i think it was the economic fundamentals, not policy stances, that led to democratic decline in 2024

Interesting watching older generations talk about this because they didn't have the day after Trump won where you could see who wasn't happy to come into work and who was

This administration is taking what Osita Nwanevu dubbed “the right to be cool” to its most dangerous, and most annoying, logical conclusion

absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence
