We have to face the fact that the oligarch-owned corporate/legacy/mainstream media are complicit with this regime's crimes. We can't rely on them anymore, which is why we need independent journalists like you to keep speaking out.

Easy to say for someone who has never paid any medical bills in his life. Not to mention no medical training to be offering medical advice. Ever the charlatan.

Inappropriate yes. But also the perfect metaphor for this administration that shits on Americans, the Constitution, and the rule of law every day.

He is a terrible liar and even worse when it comes to attempts at humor. I can't see him being the heir to MAGA when DJT finally goes.

I am so glad we will have all this evidence to use against the American Gestapo when their time comes for accountability to the American people. This regime is really stupid, stupid, stupid.

Lying, projection and gaslighting, so business as usual.

Enabling DJT's MAGA fantasy world. Does anyone really believe Karoliar's nonsense?

Pseudo-intellectuals like him are such a drag. They believe their nonsense is brilliance. It's not. 🥱

I have never subscribed to Disney and TBH, I don't think I'm missing much. 🤷‍♀️

But we still have to look at you, senator Garbage!

She ought to know, having lived it.

YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson The Nineteenth Amendment | Journey to American Democracy

On Aug 26 1920 the 19th amendment became law and granted women the right to vote. In this political climate, in which the party in power has implied women should not have this right, it is essential to stay informed and engaged in the political process to protect our rights

He was trolling Trump big time during that exchange.

That made me laugh out loud. The part about Trump bringing peace to the divided Korea was pure gold. Trolling the troll seems to be the strategy these days. I am here for it.

Perhaps I am stating the obvious but there is definitely something very wrong with him - he is declining cognitively and physically right before our eyes.

Maybe! He intends to give himself a Kennedy Center award, so why not?

Given his latest not-so-peaceful rhetoric, he must have given up on that idea. He's not even trying anymore.

Although she is not a journalist, I would add historian Heather Cox Richardson to the list. She's on Substack, FB, and Bluesky. Many journalists who left (or were pushed out) NYTimes, WAPO, and cable news are also on Substack - April Ryan, Joy Reid, Jim Acosta, and Jen Rubin, to name a few.

Hmm, I am noticing a pattern here. 🤔

It’s complicated when you’re really on Putin’s side but have to pretend to be supporting Ukraine.

Steve Bannon just laid out the MAGA media playbook to subvert the midterms

Steve Bannon has openly stated that is the plan. www.mediamatters.org/steve-bannon...

And many voters can’t tell the difference when they are in thrall to a former reality television star who’s a master of performativity.

They will do their patriotic duty and just suck it up for their lord and savior, DJT.

I love that she focused this series of videos around women's role in furthering American democracy.

Oh gosh - I have been following HCR for years. She is amazing! She writes an almost daily newsletter (you can subscribe on Substack) and does bi-weekly politics chats on YouTube and Facebook.

Trend data since Trump 1.0. Always take credit when the numbers are good. If you don't like the numbers, declare them rigged and fake. Then find someone who will cook the books and give you the numbers that match your fantasy. Rinse and repeat.

Hmmm. So what does a POTUS do when the economy is in the toilet, inflation is rising, the public doesn't like your assault on immigrants with the American Gestapo, you are covering up your complicity in a sex trafficking scandal, to name a few? Create a crisis and then pretend to solve it.

Trump nominates Heritage Foundation economist as labor statistics chief EJ Antoni, longtime critic of Bureau of Labor Statistics, nominated to replace Erika McEntarfer, who Trump fired

His qualifications don’t matter, as long as he cooks the books to support the false narrative of a “booming” economy. It’s going to be ugly when reality catches up with the MAGA fantasy world.

"Proud to celebrate those who betrayed their country."

She was on the outs, but I guess she is now back in good graces with POTUS spewing this BS.
