Brian Schatz: This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed. This is worse than the comedian stuff, and by a lot. The stakes here are much higher. He’s not talking about late night shows, he’s talking about  how a war is covered.

BRendan Carr post:  Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.  

The law is clear.  Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they x.com/

It’s funny to me how these people are obsessed with AI or animated depictions of themselves

A generous way to describe this is that some people are, for some combination of emotional, ideological, and personal political reasons, committed to the idea that the only options are all or none, and there's no such thing as relatively better or relatively worse.

We’re not going to know until it happens, but it’s a coin flip right now between “civil rights disaster” and “economic disaster”

I don’t see how we’re gonna host the WC without having people wrongfully detained as they enter the country or without DHS behaving badly in more than one host city.

The moral position would be to not hold the World Cup in the U.S. at this point. But the moral position would also have been to not have Russia or Qatar host. FIFA doesn’t care and has never really cared.

But I do think we should be ready for things to go sideways this summer

Right-Wing Attacks on James Talarico Are a Reminder That Christian Extremism Is Official Republican Policy The reaction to Talarico's Christian rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which far-right theology is about underwriting misogyny and racism.

Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.

Some have even called it blasphemy.

But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

Jews are disproportionately better off on virtually every social indicator and position of power than the median American, and Judaism polls as the religion with the highest approval rating.

"There is no antisemitism on the left" is the kind of lie people tell when ideology matters more to them than truth.
