there’s some insane grifters out there - i’d hope people see through how stupid this “investigation” is … just two freaks with their camera crew and bodyguards demanding to be let into childcare facilities, thinking the idea of a medical suite building is unfathomable, harassing people etc
And, repeating myself just to be clear: The true story (Fraudsters stole money and pushed off accountability for a while by saying it was racist to probe it) is losing market share to a wilder, less true story (citizen journalists uncovered the scheme that Dems covered up to steal elections)

But step back and look at the machinery and you see how sturdy this media/WH infrastructure is. If they want to make a humiliating Democratic scandal the biggest story in the country, they can do it. Dems who think it'll go away if they "win" with local media are going to lose.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.”

first puts herself on primetime tv with an extremely unlikable person and an absurd level of bible humping, then back to (blatant) government propaganda
So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

We've heard from these Venezuelan CECOT survivors multiple times, in human rights reports and written testimony.
The NYTimes version of it got a WH quote. This is the useless kind of thing Bari needed?

turns out that reducing prices by 500% means that you are going from $100 to $20, since you have to go up 500% or 5 times to get back to $100
it’s called new math or arithmetic revisionism

so the us is going to become the petri dish of every disease that we had previously entirely/almost entirely eradicated. make america hazardous again
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

yeah fuck those companies - we/they stole it from the people of venezuela and then somehow the people who lived there "stole it" vs took back what was theirs
I love that American nationalists think other countries should give America their oil.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."
