COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

74 million DID NOT VOTE for DJT or the ideologue extremists Russell Vought or Stephen Miller.

Not once is that a question by US press when the administration marginalizes using rhetoric of “radical left”

Half the country never agreed to dismantling of Medicaid, SNAP or a $898 BILLION police state.

Will, this has been going on for a long time. Remember the 'Brooks Brothers Riots' in 2000? The press made it seem like it was a huge crowd when really it was just a few Republican operatives... some of whom have their own shows today. Our press has been complicit for decades.

It is kinda galling that these guys would go on safari to a diner in Akron to discover the hurt feelings of Trump voters but can't be bothered to walk outside their building on 1st Street to talk to the old lady with the No Kings sign.

The tepid coverage of what's happening in Chicago is also shocking.

It’s so utterly in contrast to the constant reporting we got and get on the feelings and anger and whatever of Trump supporters. They practically still frame them as victims somehow, when they own every lever of government and power.

Sure, elected Dems need to do more.

But if it's not the media's job to point out blatant lies, then what IS their job? To act as half-assed megaphones for the liars?

BTW - I never liked Russert, and don't like Todd.

I've not seen one example of "media" pushing back against the organized rhetorical campaign of the Trumpshevik GOP -

That Democrats are "Marxists."
That Democrats are "pro-Hamas."
That the No King rallies are "Hate Rallies."
That the rallies are funded by Soros.

Mike Johnson has said all of these.

Ask any woman who has felt sick to their stomach since that November day in 2016: his election and especially his governance is a trigger for anyone who has survived an abusive relationship or childhood.

These No Kings rallies are therapy.

Mark Felt’s admonition to follow the money applies here. Mainstream media is now owned and controlled by a handful of wealthy people. They want Trumpism to thrive because it will bring them lower taxes and more wealth. They don’t want to cover the story and breathe life into the movement. That’s it.

The media is largely ignoring the trauma of millions. Here's why.

Plus: Watch George Stephanopolous pushes JD Vance with follow-up questions, cringe at Bari Weiss's pep talk to CBS journalists; and more

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

If the media won't report on it, we need to personally tell everyone we know. The msm is making themselves obsolete, and it's time we learned to bypass them.

That’s not how you science.

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump says: “RFK Jr: There’s no proof that Tylenol causes autism. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.” Below is a photo of a White House meeting showing RFK Jr., Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump at a long conference table.
