Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I've been out of the loop at an anime convention but this is legitimately insane. Bondi is a clown and not at all in charge of the DoJ. Stephen Miller is giving the orders.

Homicidal intent towards the American people is the minimum requirement to work in the Trump regime.

Genocidal intent is preferred.

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

"Women are dying in hospital parking lots. Unarmed Black men are (still) being gunned down by racist cops. Hate crimes against Jews and Muslims continue to spike.

But to hear tell, white Americans are the most oppressed and marginalized group to ever walk the face of the fucking planet."

We don't want to talk about who the real president is. That would lead to uncomfortable questions for the press and they don't like that...

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous.

Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

June 11: GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn introduces a bill to defund NPR and PBS because of their "left-wing propaganda" and "radical leftist gender ideology."

October 7: The news industry's main trade group gives Blackburn its "Support Journalism Champion Award."

Just shameless.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
