Recall that “you’re not allowed” doesn’t mean you will be jailed or sued or prohibited; it means that other people will exercise their First Amendment rights in response to yours, to express their views and defend their neighbors. But that violates Free Speech Culture.

It's easy to shrug off the idiots claiming that the incredibly accomplished politician Spencer Pratt was cheated out of a rightful win in Los Angeles. But they're going to make these same claims in November, so we need to carpet bomb this conspiracy out of existence right now.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

There are many in the fallen world of American politics who are more mendacious, more corrupt, more self-aggrandizing. But no one -- and I mean no one -- is as empty, soulless and craven as this man.

Difficult really, to think of a single, more disgusting act a journalist can commit than lying to the public to justify someone being murdered by their government for activism. But this is who these people always were.

OMB is run by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. Did you know that the Director of the OMB can be impeached? Congress has historically supported science—it’s why they keep rejecting Trump’s budget cuts. Vought is trying to do an end-run around Congress. There’s an easy fix for that.

I don’t think you could convey modern conservatism in any sort of essay or book as accurately as you could just showing people this image

This is excellent from @jamellebouie.net. The Trump administration is not conservative in any meaningful sense of the word. They are revolutionaries undermining the constitutional order. Any competent response from Democrats needs to face this reality squarely.

The press continuing to take anyone in the administration’s word for it is journalistic malpractice.

I wrote both of my senators, my congresswoman, Schumer, and Jeffries about this today. This kind of crap will how a profoundly devastating effect on our country.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

this is happening

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

In 2025, HHS issued stop work order for federal research lab that studies Ebola virus and other deadly pathogens and fired its director. This lab was a world leader in accelerating development therapies and vaccines for Ebola and other viruses. 1/ www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Breathtakingly corrupt and indefensible theft of taxpayer money. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

New York Times, July 6th, 1936.

What’s the point of electing democrats who do shit like this

In the now all-too-common category of things that are completely unsurprising and yet utterly shocking, Republicans have completely memory-holed the killings of the Hortmans and shootings of the Hoffmans in Minnesota. As far as they’re concerned it just never happened.

The edits CBS made here are severe, and depict a man who is much more petulant and incoherent than the broadcast would suggest. trib.al/xaPuJZc

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden. This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years. But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

All part of the GOP economic program: redistribute income up. If you aren't part of the 1% and you still vote GOP, you're a mark.

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

If Jake Tapper & Ali Velshi can read Trump's unhinged post live on television, print-digital outlets can surely include the text within news stories. Sanewashing this insane & threatening message is journalism malpractice.

Donald Trump claims we don't have enough money for childcare, Medicare, or Medicaid—then requests $1.5 trillion for war. Remember that.

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

freestyle diplomacy & wild ultimatums? The @nytimes.com is dancing around Trump's incompetent warmongering with cutesy headlines like these. Can't help but thinking if it was Obama or Biden, the headlines would be stark & to the point with words like chaos, erratic, miscue even failure.

Candy is being crushed at heretofore unseen levels.

Honestly, good for him.

In the summer of 1993, I lived and worked on campus at my college. I wrote a movie in my college's computer lab every night after work. It was called EVERYBODY'S DEAD.

Things are not okay.

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin. Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating. Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business. The list goes on. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

He was pardoned for serious crimes - facilitating the financing of terrorists and sex predators. Because he agreed to put millions into Trump’s pocket. Naked corruption. Out in the open for all to see.

the White House, last week: "Donald Trump does not actually control his Truth Social account or what gets posted to it" newspapers around the country, this week: "President Donald Trump says on his social media account that..."

trump wrote the post himself and everybody knows it.

I keep thinking about Ted Cruz, who fervently backed Texas Republicans' partisan gerrymandering scheme, crying online about how mean it is that Virginia Democrats pulled off a partisan gerrymandering scheme. I know he has no principles, but Jesus Christ, man, have some self-respect and dignity.
