shouldnt all these reporters be flocking to the kelloggs diner in williamsburg to understand regular voters in real america

NY-10, my district, is the most Jewish congressional district in the country, w/about 25% of voters identifying as Jewish. And yet tonight the district threw out pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman, and elected Brad Lander, who calls Gaza a genocide and favors an cut-off of weapons to Israel, by 30+ pts. 1/

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Thursday announced its selection of interested parties to participate in upcoming administrative hearings on a proposal to reclassify marijuana, each of which is understood to oppose marijuana rescheduling. www.law360.com/articles/249...

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the federal government cannot bar gun ownership for a marijuana user solely because he used a controlled substance.

The Post corrected this quickly, but it makes you wonder what their inputs were. Raman didn't concede. Her full speech was on C-Span, 12 minutes, easy fact check. The "she cried bc she lost" stuff was entirely RW X/YouTube chatter.

Uhh… look up?

Israel tortured these activists. Now they're speaking out. https://bit.ly/4ufUHO8

NYT headline when the economy added 266,000 jobs under Biden vs. NYT headline when BLS says the economy added 172,000 jobs under Trump.

Jill Biden thought her husband was having a "stroke" on the debate stage in 2024 and then spent the next month doing everything she could to keep him in the race and attacking anyone who rightly said he needed to drop out immediately

The Onion print ads are true genius. There should be a coffee table book of these.

It should be pointed out over and over that besides Bari Weiss being completely obsessed with turning CBS into a television version of her anti-woke, pro-Israel blog, she is also extremely incompetent at the nuts and bolts of running a network. www.semafor.com/article/05/1...

The U.S. Department of Justice published a final order Thursday loosening federal restrictions on medical marijuana products that fall within the ambit of state-regulated programs or have approval from the Food and Drug Administration. www.law360.com/articles/246...

80 year old congressman David Scott has died after serving in the House for 23 years. He is the fourth Democratic congressperson age 70+ to die in office since 2025.

Rep. David Scott, a Democrat of Georgia, has died: www.ajc.com/politics/202... Scott, who is 80, faced a lot of pushback for choosing to run for reelection this year, amid reports he'd skipped voting in many recent cycles (inc. 2024 presidential race) & faced multiple primary challengers in May

There’s a sense that Israel is doing “a deliberate ethnic cleansing” in southern Lebanon, a regional expert says. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Never gotten over how Columbia had a whole micro-site paying tribute to its 60s protests and building takeovers; then, when Gaza protesters repeated that strategy they called in the NYPD

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

A coalition of Massachusetts cannabis business owners on Wednesday challenged the constitutionality of a proposal to repeal retail marijuana legalization on the ballot box this November. Here's the complaint. assets.law360news.com/2460000/2460...

It is hard to crack me to my "I'm not mad, actually" core, but: this kinda shit does it. I've written/edited/reviewed/updated dozens of cannabis regulations related to the tiniest hint of "attractive to children" packaging or advertising or color schemes or shape of edibles. But booze keeps boozin'

So the NYT is so committed to shitting on trans people that when the AMA tried to correct their reporting, they responded by saying they know more about the AMA's position than the AMA itself. That's zealotry.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

We still prosecute people for marijuana. www.scag.gov/about-the-of...

There are so many talented, curious, hardworking people who want to be journalists and can’t be, and it really puzzles me that so many of the very few remaining jobs in this industry go to people who seem completely averse to actually writing and reporting.

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...

My goodness. Watch this astonishing speech.

A couple of young, viral developers are making $500,000 a month with ‘Quittr’; an app to help people with porn addiction. Insane money, living in a mansion, etc. We found they exposed the masturbation habits of 100,000s of users, then lied about fixing it www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Is Nellie Bowles the worst writer in America?

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Shit.

Senator John Fetterman’s response to @premthakker.bsky.social when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters: “I want to offer condolences to your boss [Mehdi]. I know he’s all broke up about the Ayatollah.”

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Israel’s plan to strike Iran would put American lives at risk, Rubio said. Rather than confronting Israel, the U.S. joined their war.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Columbia University just emailed affiliates letting them know that federal agents from DHS abducted a student this morning from a campus residence under false pretenses and with no warrant or probable cause.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

The Trump Admin is urging SCOTUS to find that a law disarming cannabis users is constitutional because founder-era laws authorized taking guns away from "habitual drunkards" to preserve public safety. www.law360.com/articles/244...

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?
