As I said before, the Nazi tat is a feature, not a bug, to some of the people he's hoping to win over. But we're supposed to just accept as gospel that he's the "real progressive" over the woman who loudly stood up for trans people in her state.

Senator Jon Ossoff, "Last night The White House put a video on social media"

"That depicted this war as a video game"

"This White House treats war like a game"

"And it's a disgrace"

"And it speaks to the moral rot of Trump's administration"

The fight right now is literally against folks who think Black people are inferior and women shouldn't vote. That is existential. This guy sucks.

Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.  

The law is clear.  Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. 

And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.

The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nationโ€™s airwaves. 

It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.  It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media.  And we canโ€™t allow that to happen.

Time for change!

Trump "Truth":

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not โ€œstruckโ€ or โ€œdestroyed.โ€ Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife โ€œPapersโ€ and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Thatโ€™s the part that always blows my mind.

These people will do political autopsies of elections but wonโ€™t point out the obviousโ€ฆitโ€™s always the same demographic.

Itโ€™s not about Latinos shifting or Black Folks tuning out. Itโ€™s about this demographic NOT BUDGING for decades.

Chuck Schumer just walked the GOP into a 2026 campaign trap. ๐Ÿชค Republicans blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard six times in one day. These aren't just votesโ€”theyโ€™re future campaign ads.

This Is Not a Rise in Antisemitism. It Is a Pandemic of Jew-Hatred. Calling what we are seeing a โ€œrise in antisemitismโ€ minimizes the reality: an ideological contagion that is spreading across movements, platforms, and demographics with alarming speed.

Another vital cautionary from @yasharali.bsky.social. Antisemitism has been so abused a term that it has lost the impact needed to understand where the global Jewish community stands in this precarious moment.

So he gets far more blunt.

Ethics adviser rejects Tory call for inquiry into PM over Mandelson appointment Sir Laurie Magnus said the relevant process appeared to have been followed when Lord Mandelson was made ambassador.

Oh. Due process followed perfectly. The Tory politicians & client journalists lying desperately about all this were, of course, cheering & chuckling away when *two* of Boris Johnsonโ€™s ethics advisers resigned in disgust at his staggering contempt for ethics.

โ€˜Could be the making of himโ€™: Starmerโ€™s allies praise stance on Trump and Iran Refusal to kowtow to US president has won public backing โ€“ and left Badenoch and Farage playing catch-up It is not often that Keir Starmerโ€™s allies believe he has Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch on the run โ€“ but on Iran, they think he is on the right side of history and public opinion. โ€œIt could be the making of him,โ€ said Emily Thornberry, the Labour chair of the foreign affairs committee, who was first out of the blocks to say she thought Donald Trumpโ€™s strikes on Iran were illegal. โ€œYouโ€™ve not had a British prime minister say no to an American president since Vietnam.

One of our problems is someone meets, say, Richard Engel, & the first thing they should say is something like โ€œyou should be ashamed of your angrily naive coverage of the end of the US war in Afghanistan & you should be ashamed of being far less critical of Trump.โ€

Every time I see people describe Janet Mills as a centrist I realize there is an imaginary Janet Mills that exists in people's brains that they've invented out of whole cloth in order to justify supporting Platner, and then when Platner was exposed as a Nazi they just refused to update their priors.
