I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics. This is shameful.

NEW: Trump is suing California over ICE laws: www.courtlistener.com/docket/71921...

WH-AT?

Also: If you talk about it when it happens - "Let's wait for all the facts to come out before making assumptions" If you talk about it afterwards - "It's over. Why won't you let this man move on?"

"Preservationists concerned by Trump’s public musings... about painting a 137-yr-old building next to the WH completely white sued him Friday to halt the work, arguing that he could not unilaterally alter “one of the most architecturally significant and historic structures in the Nation’s Capital.”"

Imagine showing this to someone pre-1992 and saying "This is the President of the United States."

This is great, but this is just actually just journalism. Broadcasters have the luxury of having a producer in their ear, there’s no reason not to be fact checking everything a subject says. And to be ready to refute their usual talking points. When did we forget how to do this?

Why are actors doing AI commercials? They are trying to replace you, dummies.

For all the men who are like, "I can't believe so many people don't care about the President being a pedophile!" Congrats, now you know how women feel about men who harass and assault them all the time. We walk around feeling like this.

BREAKING: We have a new Motion to Dismiss from Letitia James, this time for Outrageous Gov't Conduct and focusing on Bill Pulte's behavior. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71601...

There is so much bad lawyering happening at the DOJ. It might not be super-obvious if you're not reading pleadings every day, but they make SO many mistakes across a wide swath of cases. Pretty remarkable.

There's a lot going on here. The mayor is mischaracterizing protesters, and real threats have been made (America 2025). Whatever one's thoughts are on how this should be handled, the order itself is a tool for further restricting demonstrations and reporting outside the detention center.

I'm looking at Judge Gettleman's order certifying the class of those who have been and will be held at the Broadview ICE facility:

NEW: Judge Xinis has granted Kilmar Abrego Garcia's motion to strike the declaration of DHS employee John Cantú (filed under seal), in which Cantú appears to allege that Costa Rica is no longer willing to accept Abrego Garcia, and has ordered Cantú to appear in person for sworn testimony.

Scott Bessent just said that migrants coming across the border are bringing their cattle with them, and that's why beef prices are so high. Has there been a single report of someone trying to bring cattle into this country? I highly doubt it.

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

Aside from the general bizarreness of this, does anyone else find it icky that Nuzzi’s own outlet is publishing an excerpt from her book? It feels like self-promotion that someone should have stopped. Like, your editors aren’t supposed to be the story.

Men just realizing why women walk around so enraged all the time is hilarious.

Every woman around the world:

I don't know what it is about Sunday Night Football, but my screen is constantly frozen. I don't think it's been smooth watching since the games moved to Peacock.

I'm not one of those people who thinks you have to go to journalism school to be a good reporter, but if you're going to hire people without journalism backgrounds, you should at least make sure they understand their ethical obligations to their outlet and the public.

In light of the "Jameis Winston is so fun!" campaign happening right now, I'll just leave this here.

“Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokesperson for the New York Times, declined to respond to questions on the tips about Trump passed from Epstein to Thomas.” I’ll bet he did.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This used to be what Game of Thrones was for.

What’s the deal with @thehill.com? Here’s the lede of an Op-Ed and, setting aside, whether I think it’s actually unconstitutional, it’s not unconstitutional, according to the courts, to subpoena someone’s cell phone logs in an ongoing investigation. But this piece claims it as a fact.

My husband is a Vikings fan…

Not great football here between the Bears and the Vikings.

Counterpoint: Having facts at hand to confront your interview subject with if they say things that aren’t true is actually called “journalism.” When we stopped doing this, I’m not sure, but I’d kill to see Mike Wallace interview these guys.

Erin Andrews falling all over herself to compliment Tom Brady for knowing a relevant fact about the game he’s supposed to be analyzing. 🙄 “How about this guy?!?!”

It’s absolutely crazy the way companies have cut employees and resources to the bone while exponentially expanding pay for their C-suite execs. “We have to offer those salaries to be competitive and hire real talent.” I promise you there are people who could do the same job for much, much less.

Ryan Day’s beard looks like he uses shoe black on it.

The lack of self-awareness by the people who have egged on harassment against the left for years is staggering.

Even wilder, Dean Cain is descended from Japanese Americans interned during WW2.

Saudi Arabia has jailed multiple women for espousing feminist views on social media since 2020.

For many people, journalism is still a public service and a calling, not just a way to work your way into elite circles. Many of those people have been pushed out of the industry for caring about ethical reporting instead if Google rankings and clicks. Find THOSE people and support them.

normal things happening

Super fun to see companies deciding to put John Gruden in their ads. 🙄

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

Some of the images that will be looked at in history books when we look back at this dark period of history

The most amazing thing about these comments is that the other person in the interview just sits there as if the person defending sex with children said something completely normal.

Like, I don’t care why she did it? Professor Carol Polsgrove taught me that ethics matter in J School and you will pry that ideal from my cold, dead, hands.

Welcome to journalism in 2025, when ethics are not longer required and the whole thing feels like a high school lunchroom, complete with the elitist “You can’t sit with us!” nepo babies at legacy outlets who all write stories about how great their pals are. God, it’s so depressing.

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

This goes for all those defending the NYT's handling of Epstein, as well.

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.
