French embassy only serving water and juice to attendees until the evening's speeches are over, a misunderstanding of what Brits look for in a drinks reception of such proportions that I can only assume the declaration of war will come overnight

Snyder: Trump administration using words like ‘terrorist’ and ‘extremist’ is what tyrants do YouTube video by MS NOW

"In order to build tyranny, you have to open zones where the law doesn't apply... one zone like that is the border. The logic of what they've been doing with ICE is to take the border everywhere."

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

After a century of defending other countries against foreign aggression, the United States is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize another nation's land.

By Peter Baker
Peter Baker is the chief White House correspondent.
He and his wife, Susan Glasser, asked President Trump about Greenland during a 2021 interview for their book on his first term.

I remain awestruck that you can be chief WH correspondent of the New York Times while apparently accepting the version of history that you were taught in grade school in the 1970’s

This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Today I wrote about a dangerous development that has not gotten the attention it deserves. JD Vance is building a prosecutorial office in the White House that will operate under his and Trump's direct control. Sign up to support Democracy Docket's work and access premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Last summer, the FBI set up a sting offering Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE, $50,000 cash. He took it. Then, the Trump administration closed the investigation. trib.al/EuKcSra

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

Trump demands inquiry over UN 'triple sabotage' The US president called the incidents that included an escalator and teleprompter mishap

It was a quadruple sabotage. When the President of the United States was speaking, the room was filled with the sound of a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender ranting incoherent conspiracy theories.

INQUIRY NOW.
