Dude.YES. Thank you. 💡🕯️

Bill dwarfs his peers. He was the PhD of gold standards even at PBS. I'll never forget, when he passed away, I wrote a six-part tweet on the old bird sight BEFORE IT GOT ZOMBIED.

Well put. Can you imagine what an interview between Weiss and Cronkite would be like? She is so clearly a potted plant. And I have a few old friends who think she's great

Good call. Always liked the Macneil Lehrer show too.

Even then 20/20 type shows were the beginning of tabloid crappy news shows

These days things are so tinny it's making me look back at things differently.

It's harder when what we thought was "US Democracy" is now clearly just (a coin operated ped-oligarchy since 1978 Buckley)

What a runaway train. It is still hard to see where this ends with zero leadership.

OH: Anyone know where the USA backup tapes are stored? We're going to need them

Curious, who was the last TV broadcaster who you respected? For me, I'd say Peter Jennings. Nobody after that makes the cut

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Her response is such a tell. There are so many involved in this thing it's going to cause dysfunction for decades. Nothing can get done when so many are corrupted

My basic belief now is that nothing is self executing and this ends when people says it does. The house of cards will never collapse out of its own free will.

It is a serious problem that I first heard about this from reports on here and not from members of congress.

You know...the ones who claim to be shutting down the government for "health care".

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 12h

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 13h

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Emergency vehicles are a great way to remove ICE, it turns out.

Best thing I have seen on Instagram in two week in Ball, CA. Here, in Socal, they ran the whole ICE convoy out of town with a fire truck. ICE had to back up their trucks.

Watch the community CELEBRATE. 🎉✊

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

TL;DR

Thiel thanks, Greta Thunberg is a “legionnaires of the Antichrist"

Are we clear on what's causing this now?

I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.
