The very day that the very first journalist gave serious Creedence to Trump‘s lies about Barack Obama‘s birthplace was the day the media, the journalists in this country, began the process of killing democracy!

IMO it is bad that congressional hearings involving Cabinet members have transformed entirely into public lying and groveling competitions for an audience of one

My leader speaks with careful consideration around your volatile baby, to prevent a tantrum that could negatively affect Canadians. Unlike your leader, whose actions are driven by jealousy, revenge and ego, mine prioritizes the wellbeing of all Canadians. I stand by my leader!

I think this is about the fourth death in no more than a month or so. Three fell out of buildings and one was shot in the head in his car.

If you ever needed more evidence of what a self-interested feckless enabler @jaketapper.bsky.social is, look no further than this abomination from @cnn.com.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s press conference was cut off the air by MSNBC, after he once again lied about Obamacare subsidies. Host Ana set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare....”

JB Pritzker: “Whenever the president talks about somebody critically, it’s often projection about what he himself is insecure about. Each of the things he said about me, they’re all true about him. I can take it. I am not afraid of this president.”

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

quite honestly, I’ve been warning about what was coming for 12 years and I have to be a certain kind of numb or I would’ve already lost my mind. I don’t always sleep at night. This was not how I envisioned my “golden” years.

Bondi came prepared with disrespectful, talking points for each senator but not to answer their questions None of Trump‘s minions think they are answerable too democratic senators. I believe my mother would’ve said that she really showed her ass today.

Bondi reading from formatted lines on paper in answering a question to Sen Whitehouse about whether Tom Homan kept the 50k is quite telling…to say the least

Trump gave the right wing government in Argentina $20 billion because our Treasury secretaries buddy billionaire here in the US bet big on Argentina and could lose big. It turns out right wing economic policy didn’t work any better in Argentina than it’s working here.

it should be as disqualifying for a politician to accept AIPAC money as it is to accept NRA money.

those were the good old days. CBS is now owned by a billionaire whose interests are billionaire interests. He just hired a bigoted culture warrior to run the news department. My suggestion is don’t watch it.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Senator Durban had the best take. He said to her that eventually she would have to answer for her actions.

What are the consequences when an AG refuses to answer questions from elected reps and in addition is disrespectful in the process of bringing the refusals to the floor. She must be held accountable as she is clearly refusing to do her job right in front of many elected reps.
