French embassy only serving water and juice to attendees until the evening's speeches are over, a misunderstanding of what Brits look for in a drinks reception of such proportions that I can only assume the declaration of war will come overnight

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Today I wrote about a dangerous development that has not gotten the attention it deserves. JD Vance is building a prosecutorial office in the White House that will operate under his and Trump's direct control. Sign up to support Democracy Docket's work and access premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Since it is apparently up to self-appointed, middle-aged white British men to decide who truly is or is not British, I’ve decided Matt Goodwin isn’t.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Trump demands inquiry over UN 'triple sabotage' The US president called the incidents that included an escalator and teleprompter mishap

It was a quadruple sabotage. When the President of the United States was speaking, the room was filled with the sound of a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender ranting incoherent conspiracy theories.

INQUIRY NOW.
