Meet the new Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin:
Today's Pentagon “press conference” was a shameful insult to the founders who established freedom of the press. The questions coming from right-wing lackeys might as well have been drafted by Hegseth himself. Perhaps they were.
“In January, WashPost reporter Yeganeh Torbati, who had been covering Iran, appealed to Jeff Bezos on social media, noting she had spent months covering developments inside the country and wanted to continue the work.
“The appeals to Bezos went unheeded.”

This guy, @senmullin.bsky.social, is competing with Tommy Tuberville for the bottom of the congressional IQ test. That Ayatollah is long dead.
Do you mean Harris or Bartiromo?
Because, in my opinion, the greatest dilemma public colleges across the country face is that they NEVER receive enough state or federal funding. So they are forced to submit grant applications to the country’s philanthropic organizations to fit an ever-growing gap. THIS IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.
Congratulations to our @tukleincollege.bsky.social alum @willyip.bsky.social on winning a Grammy!

In his episode on “How to Prevent and Treat Colds and Flu”, he describes why he doesn’t typically get the annual shot while stating “the flu shot is completely ineffective at combatting any other forms of the flu virus”—that’s false as even in cases of mismatch, the vax protects against hosp/death.
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:
Outstanding work by @danabash.bsky.social.
So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.
And yet more evidence that @dokoupil.bsky.social, @bariweiss.skystack.xyz and @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy care about more about their personal interests than the public's.
Yet another threat to the media's -- and by extension, the public's -- First Amendment rights by this administration.

NEW: The Bureau of Prisons won't explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a cushy facility after she met with Deputy AG Todd Blanche. So we filed a FOIA request for documents on this—and now we're suing (thanks to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press—@rcfp.org).
Hey, Bari Weiss, we still have room in our first-year journalism classes, where you can learn what true journalism really should be. What it should not be is this:
This morning, the FBI executed a search warrant at a @washingtonpost.com reporter’s home.
@rcfp.org President Bruce D. Brown called it “a tremendous escalation in the administration’s intrusions into the independence of the press.”
Read his full statement: www.rcfp.org/fbi-search-w...
A clear and appalling sign that this administration will set no limits on its acts of aggression against an independent press. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
I see Cillizza is auditioning for CBS News.
Let’s be clear: if people sworn to enforce the law can tell you to get out of your car and then kill you if you just try to drive away, none of us are safe. None of us.
For those (like I) who were waiting to judge @dokoupil.bsky.social's fitness to anchor the @cbseveningnews.bsky.social, you can stop waiting: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:
"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."
This is absolutely on point
In the early hours of this test, @cnn.com is showing poorly. Its focus on the logistics of the military operation is sorely misplaced. In the decades to come, few will care about how the U.S. invaded Venezuela, but rather why it did, under what authorization it did, and what was to follow.
The next 48 hours will be a powerful litmus test of the health, vitality and courage of the American news media. Please, as the citizens those journalists and their outlets purport to serve, watch carefully.
I wonder what kind of heads up Exxon et al got
Hey, @CNN.com, just because the White House uses the made-up term “narcoterrorist” doesn’t mean you have to.
Pathetic.
Investigative journalism matters, and @spotlightpa.org is one of the best.
"The reviews found a series of problems with Hohl’s care of at least 10 patients. ... Several of Hohl’s patients received extra doses of chemotherapy by accident."
So good. So true. So sad. And such a challenge: Can we ever reverse this course?
