Only drudge has the right framing: Bondi screwed up Halligan’s appointment that led to dismissal. Bondis name should be in headline or lede

You know you’re doing it right if Fox PR thinks you’re an ass

Bari Weissification of CBS News: both the expert and the school used in this story take money from billionaire republican megadonor Jeff Yass, who gave $100 million to the college founded by…Bari Weiss! @oliverdarcy.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

I don’t think he could define fascist and if he could he would not find it insulting

Did they investigate the discrepancies between the official account and what could plausibly be true? Doc Ronny said wound was nearly an inch wide. How does that heal in two weeks?

When you’re a star he lets you do it!

I don’t get why dems don’t introduce impeachment legislation every time he performs an impeachable offense. Not because the bill would succeed, but because it’s the right thing to do

Thank you to the moon and back

They didn’t print the strategy. They printed a vague threat, coordinated with 3 unnamed senior admin officials. Not even a concept of a plan of attack.

He’s a piece of shit on many fronts

Yes! It could be the actual lede: President Trump is now asking congress to authorize the release the files instead of releasing them himself. Then report why that might be. The assumption of good faith is mind-boggling.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Can’t get over the paywall. Did Axios mention that this constitutes a bribe others have gone to prison for? Or did they just marvel at the Swiss precision of bribing

Reportedly they ate sandwiches!

Also not seeing anything about how none of the winners threw trans under the bus

Kelsea won 64% of the vote!

Who will write the “They/Them Won” story? The Dems that won, even the “centrists” did not throw trans under the bus. And Atlanta elected a non-binary democratic socialist for district 2 @froomkin.bsky.social

Another sign we may be regaining our senses. In Atlanta’s 5-way, open-seat, District 2 City Council race, Kelsea Bond, non-binary and Democratic Socialist (just second DS in the state), won outright. Good night for progressives. Congrats to Kelsea!

Worth noting that none of the winning candidates threw trans under the bus. Spanberger’s opponent put out anti-trans ads just like Trump but it didn’t work

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

This is so sad. “The Mozart of Math is thinking of leaving the country. 3/4 of other American scientists are considering the same thing

Just today read both Elon Musk and Campbell Brown are investing (she raised 3 million, he has gazillions) in turning AI republican. Dems already lost big media, social and podcast space to the right. With AI, the right will own the entire information space.

Does anyone EVER ask a fucking follow up?

A trans swimmer killed herself after getting kicked off the team. Has any female swimmer committed suicide after competing with a trans athlete?
@froomkin.bsky.social

Does any reporter ever follow up? Every clip I see is a question followed by a looney lie and then on to the next thing

@nytimes newsletter today said flat out “Can he do this? Yes.” No mention of illegality

Yesterday, Khalil spoke to supporters outside the federal court.
Mahmoud Khalil: “I absolutely think, like, this shows how my case is actually just like a test for everyone’s rights here across the country.”
