Utterly ridiculous. We know he is lying once he says "they were planning on spending $75 million on this ad." That is patently absurd. Global campaigns run by companies like Coke or Nike aren't even close to $75 million. Absurd.

I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

Let's not forget that Vance tries to "couch" his terms - if you know what I mean πŸ˜†

True, but let's not forget RJB refused to resign when Obama was President and then tried to gut it out to Biden. She didn't make it.

Trump is trying to deploy the National Guard to Oregon, claiming that the state is a battlefield and troops are needed to protect federal agents who are attempting to enforce immigration laws

Meanwhile, at the ICE facility in Portland, it’s

Now he blocked me. I pointed out to him that Woodward and Bernstein would not be journalists by his definition, that one of the top journalism schools (USC) talked about their program as investigative journalism. So, I guess he didn't like hearing how wrong he was and he blocked me. 🀣

Master of Science in Journalism ,

Funny how every news organization has "investigative journalist." Also funny how one of the premier journalism schools in the country (USC) kind of repute your narrow definition. annenberg.usc.edu/academics/jo...

By his definition Woodward and Bernstein aren't journalists.

Now he is trying to argue that journalist don't do analysis. That they only report the news. lol

So, Woodward and Bernstein aren't journalists, huh? Maybe, just maybe, it's because you don't know what journalism is. Journalism isn’t limited to breaking news. It also includes:
β€’ Investigative reporting
β€’ Long-form narrative
β€’ Historical interpretation
β€’ Political analysis

I don’t understand what you’re saying. The article was talking about money going to virtually unwinnable races. And I think the point was that putting money into Dunlap would be an unwinnable race.

I think the fact that he won four times which gives the Democrats more power in the House pretty much says it all.

So, tell us why it isn't journalism. He is a former professor. He writes for the Atlantic, a well-known and established media organization. I think you are mistaken.

Well in this district, the way Rep. Jarden Golden does it. He is a four-time elected rep who was elected in a Congressional district that went by 10 points for Trump. But each district may be different. And it certainly is not going to be going far left progressive in all districts.

Clearly they don’t read your articles but just pick on one article. They don’t understand you were one of the first public journalist to write about the bad things happening. odd too that some of these people complaining about you don’t allow people to comment on their posts.

Supreme Court shoots down challenge to WA carbon market A natural gas power plant in Grays Harbor County had sued over the state's keystone climate policy.

Voters upheld the Climate Commitment Act by a landslide last year.

Today, the Supreme Court shot down a legal challenge.

As the federal government is abandoning critical climate protections, Washington's leadership is needed now more than ever. This is an important win.

Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs.

This is what the GOP stands for.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.
