Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

People are speculating that Benjamin Netanyahu was killed with his brother in a strike by Iran.

This doesn’t read like a denial.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Honda was one of the first to cut their electric vehicles in the 70s. I like Honda cars, but their horrid reputation since the 70s on electric vehicles is beyond the pale.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

I don't care how much room it takes up or if it ruins the lyricism of the lede, newsrooms should require this the first time any article mentions executive orders:

"—which are directives that only apply to executive branch employees, and may only be in regard to how they carry out existing law—"

kara - my favorite game is to act like i can't understand something very simple when a man is explaining it to me to see how dumb he thinks i am

mike - this, my dear, is called deception...

kara - what do you mean?

mike - it's a form of dishonesty that you are using for self gain or amusement. It's actually quite sophisticated stuff well done

kara - sorry i don't get it?

I know this is 8 years old, but it is still one of my favorite twitter exchanges.

NIH director launches "Scientific Freedom" lectures with non-scientist First speaker minimizes climate change, COVID risks—and is a lab leak proponent.

If you’re wondering why I’m ranting today about what scientific freedom is and is not, here is why.

Jay Bhattacharya is a fool who cannot stand that he was—and continues to be—called out by legitimate scientists for his bullshit.

Teen girl, man killed and child hurt in separate shootings, Philly police say Three separate shootings in Philadelphia on Monday left a teen girl and a man dead as well as a child hurt, police say.

Three separate shootings, all within 30 minutes.

A 19-year-old girl and a man were killed, and a 12-year-old girl was injured. In a country with easy access to guns, safety is no longer something families can count on.

We can’t continue like this.

The Implications of Iran Mining the Strait of Hormuz Are Many—and Ugly Laying mines is cheap—and easy. Clearing them is expensive and hard. The potential consequences are terrifying.

Also, I wrote about why Iran mining the straits is a BFD that is likely to have major downstream consequences. newrepublic.com/article/2076...
