Welcome to the resistance congressman
Massie: "The recourse is that the next AG can bring charges against them for breaking the law. I think that's what compelled them to produce 3 million documents, and now they're claiming it's incompetence. They're defense today is incompetence for why they haven't given us all the documents."

I agree with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social: the record shows mainstream, corporate media outlets have shown bias against progressives, from who gets quoted, to who gets paid to contribute, to who gets hired to edit. So have big tech companies in 2026, from Meta to X.

The Media Is Biased… Against the Left
Mehdi brings receipts on the glaring absence of progressive voices not just on Bari Weiss’s CBS News but across so-called “liberal” media, and makes the case for independent media.

Last night I opened up an open source package that I have been *slowly* working on over a year or two but haven't touched in 6+ months. It is hand-crafted and AI free.
It's great. I'm very proud of it.
But now I'm going to start using Claude to get it finished. There is something sad about that.
