Has any reporter done a deep dive into two of the most powerful people in Washington DC who seem determined not to use that power or even comment on current events? Mike Johnson and John Thune could stop virtually all of the current chaos simply by putting their hands back on the wheel.

Chris Murphy: ICE officer training has been cut in half by this administration. Agents now get just 47 days — chosen as a tribute to presidential vanity, not safety. No surprise violent incidents are skyrocketing

Please support Michael de Adder, who does great work:

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Ken, I'll take "Who gets my vote in the Democratic presidential primary for $1,000."

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

F- you to everyone who celebrates and every media outlet who buries this story today.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Five years later, January 6 still matters. Not just because of what happened—but because of what happens if we decide we’ve already heard enough. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Jan. 6, 2021:

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

What I always thought, but didn't have the words to express. Thank you.

Too perfect.

The competition in the Trump administration to be the first to tip off Putin must have been fierce.

Weissand Effect

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

The 60 minutes segment Bari Weiss killed is here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Watch all the trump-censored segments of the 60 Minutes report before @cbsnews.com is able to get them removed. @governor.ca.gov needs to commit, as president, to prosecuting every criminal involved in this crime against humanity starting at the top and going down.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Trump's name is redacted from files that we know previously contained it...

🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews JD Vance attacks Jasmine Crockett: “She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails." The guy who built his brand on a fake hillbilly sob story and has three different names - wants to lecture us on authenticity.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

60 Minutes, dead at 57. The murder weapon was Bari Weiss.

Simpler times

(Children are not getting these surgeries) (Also, not sure where Oz has been looking, but he's way off on the costs, too)

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Nazis are running this country.

@cnn.com is a joke. Dana Bash just interviewed Tom Homan. The Tom Homan famous for taking a $50K bribe from an undercover FBI sting which was caught on tape. She didn't have the nerve to ask "Did you take the $50K? Did you report it on your taxes?" She was just a mute audience for his lies.

Jasmine Crockett: “To every politician celebrating this decision, let me offer a word of caution — Don't get too comfortable — When you push district lines this far, you risk losing the very seats you thought you locked in“ I think we can turn Texas blue—

Not happy just killing people by stealing their healthcare, vaccines, and dispensing quackery as science, the RepubliKlans are straight up murdering people floating helplessly in the ocean. We're going to need more prisons soon to lock up all the criminals infesting our government and military now.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it. You couldn't write comedy better than this. It's better than VEEP.

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

From 2018-2024, Delta paid a NEGATIVE FIVE PERCENT TAX RATE That’s right, we gave one of the most profitable airlines in the world a $375 MILLION refund. It’s not that the rest of us aren’t “working hard enough,” it’s that the system is rigged to favor the wealthy.

President Biden - never stopped being presidential even after going through cancer treatment, showing great leadership and stamina. The felon couldn't be bothered being presidential, is destroying our country and pardons criminals like himself.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

trump's DUI-hire Pete Hegseth promised he would stop drinking if confirmed as Secretary of Defense which he was. Now we know why he wants to change his title to Secretary of War. The call of the bottle is too strong for him.
