Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Thank you! One of the challenges of taking calls is the need to fact check in real time. My post show research didn’t come up with what the caller suggested so I will try to address this tomorrow on air.

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

No. DEI hires have to work for EVERYTHING, be the best in their field & be so good that they overwhelm racist resistance to them being hired. Hegseth is a WEI hire: white, entitled & incompetent.
