Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.

STOP THE WAR! How hard is that for an editorial board to say?: presswatchers.org/2026/03/stop... New on Press Watch!
Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
We’ve reached the point where the damage Trump has done to the economy with his impulsive war will not correct by the time low information voters form their final judgements on the midterm election
The Kushner brand is basically: I'm hear to offer peace deals and get money, and I'm all out of peace deals
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
One week ago. 🤡
I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...
"Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations."
~ George Orwell
Everyone with a platform should be screaming that Trump is unfit to be commander-in-chief. www.wsj.com/politics/nat... gift link
How about “Every congressman with an ounce of integrity should be screaming for Trump to be removed from office”?
Michael Powell and the Atlantic despise people of integrity on the left more than anything else including actual christofascism. 🧵
"The Snowflake Secretary."
"Hegseth spent years on a comfortable Fox News couch building a brand around contempt for the thin-skinned and the easily offended. But in office, Hegseth has revealed himself to be exactly that—a snowflake behind a military shield."

“Why does the White House think they are running H.R. for Paramount/CBS?”
What’s happening here is that the 30% of the country that wants, like Mike Johnson, to impose its right wing religious values on the country using state power is falsely accusing the 1.3% of the US population that is Muslim of wanting to impose their religion on the country using state power.
"No quarter" is an international war crime. That's what the defense secretary champions in a White House full of criminals.
this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward
Guardian reporting news that @nytimespr.bsky.social is too weak and timid to report.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
After two weeks of deadly and destructive bombardment by the U.S. and Israel, some Iranians who had initially been hopeful when supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed are growing weary of the fighting. A businessman in his 40s who lives in Tehran said on Friday that the sound of explosions often wakes him up around 5 or 5:30 in the morning. The man, who spoke in voice notes on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, said that while supermarkets, bakeries, and some shops were open, the streets of the capital were empty and quiet. At night, the city is completely taken over by security forces, he said, and no one dares to protest. He added that some Iranians feel that the war facilitated the transition to a new supreme leader, something that the regime might have otherwise struggled to do.
The NY Times spoke to an Iranian businessman who shared the feeling of some Iranians “that the war facilitated the transition to a new supreme leader, something that the regime might have otherwise struggled to do.”
Brendan Carr is a fascist who is determined to crush independent journalism in this country. He threatens broadcast licenses over “fake news” at the same time he declares Trump won a “landslide“ victory when Trump got less than 50% of the vote.
Kilmeade is one of the stupidest people ever to appear on TV. How does he even tie his shoes in the morning. Someone must do it for him
This is Jeanine Pirro answering one question today.
Trump defense lawyer John Lauro faced unusually testy pushback from co-panelists & DOJ alums attending ABA conference.
Lauro praised Trump DOJ for being in a "better place" now that Jack Smith isn't victimizing the president.
"You're a clown," someone yelled.

"'I wanted to thank Mr. Lauro for admitting the emperor has no clothes—the rule of law is dead because the people in this room and the Department of Justice pissed off President Trump,' … said @mitchellepner.bsky.social, a former federal prosecutor ….
"Attendees in the conference ballroom clapped."
Remarkable decision by DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg quashing subpoenas against Jerome Powell. Even more remarkable are the subpoenas themselves, an effort to weaponize law enforcement. Here is the full opinion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
