These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Judge Immergut is a Republican and a 2019 Trump appointee.

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info.

SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Front page, headline news, lead story, continuous wall to wall coverage. That’s what this story in chicago deserves from the national press.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Paramount Officially Acquiring The Free Press and Making Bari Weiss CBS News Editor in Chief: Report Paramount Skydance will be officially acquiring The Free Press and hiring its founder Bari Weiss as editor in chief of its CBS News division, with the deal to be announced this coming Monday, accordin...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

It’s a 1️⃣-2️⃣punch: The State of Texas, the Regents, & the President dissolve the Faculty Council. Then Trump offers a compact that will affect academic freedom, curriculum, student recruitment, research priorities, the future of academic programs. Once faculty had a voice in such decisions. No longer.

People are going to go back to reporting icy conditions on Waze

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Hakeem Jeffries is acting like he *wants* to draw a strong primary challenger in 2026 and, honestly, I wish him all the luck in the world there.

"They're denying science" is maybe the funniest thing Nancy has ever said.

My department at CU Boulder is hiring BOTH an Assistant Professor of Journalism AND an Associate/Full Professor of Journalism Studies. I am on the search committee for the Associate job. Happy to answer questions or direct you to the right people. Links in this thread.

Media loyalty oaths have no place in fact- based journalism so there's only one legitimate choice here for journalists: turn in your pentagon press pass and start covering the Defense
Dept from outside the building.

Checking in on this

The expectation, from the complicit mainstream media, that every single person on social media hold themselves to a HIGHER standard of respect than the freaking PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES will never cease to amaze me.

Democracy Day event in NYC next week! give.wnyc.org/event/front-...

Trump’s maneuvering in NYC mayor’s race fuels push for Democrats to unite behind Mamdani Democratic leaders are yet to embrace the democratic socialist as their party’s mayoral nominee.

Mamdani’s allies' message for top New York Dems as Trump works to block his path to City Hall: Get off the sidelines. Now.

The pressure is on for Hochul, Schumer and Jeffries to publicly endorse Mamdani as their party's mayoral nominee.

When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.

CBS News Agrees Not to Edit ‘Face The Nation’ Interviews Following Homeland Security Backlash CBS News said it would cede its power to hold "Face the Nation" interviewees to account after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem complained

Lies and disinformation will now have yet another place to call home after David Ellison's news unit agrees shun fact checking. This is a massive win for Trump, devastating for journalism and democracy. Read @variety.com's clear eyed look at this terrible decision:

variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Anyone want to bet that CBS’ new “no editing interviews” policy will result in some Democrat saying something on air Trump doesn’t like, then the White House will go “not that way,” clarifying that they meant “make us look good, and our opponents bad” and CBS will adjust accordingly?

(Too cynical?)
