Every time I hear these people make such horrifying arguments, I'm reminded of what I learned playing Propaganda in the Academic Games in elementary school. My 10-year-old would shred this in a second ... but it doesn't stop them.

Jason Broughton has a mission at the Library of Congress: ‘Expand and be inclusive’ Jason Broughton was appointed NLS director in August. He takes over for Karen Keninger, the first blind person to lead the organization.

Jason Broughton was the first Black State Librarian in Vermont. He led the library through the early days of COVID and left to become the director of the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled. He's a librarian's librarian. #BlackHistoryMonth

Epstein survivors raise their hands to signal they've been ignored by Trump's DOJ as AG Pam Bondi refuses to look at them

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BALINT: Weak sauce

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Reminds me of my favorite quote from THE LIMEY:
“Do you understand a word this guy says?”
“No, but I know what he means.”

Understood about five words. But I was grinning by the end, so …

I realized by the end I had a big smile on my face.

This is one of those moments in the news biz when you want to say, “Go ahead. Let the door hit you on the way out.”

Its actually good and okay to try and find moments of joy during the horrors. Dont let anyone shame you for it.

Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins for asking about justice for Epstein survivors: You are the worst reporter. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. Your organization should be ashamed of you.

Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

It’s weird how the “if you haven’t done anything wrong then you don’t have anything to worry about” crowd is trying to illegally shield what they’re doing from journalists who are acting 100% within their rights and the law.

If you use “function” very loosely, it makes sense

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

Scoop: Mills flew to California fundraisers while ICE raided Maine Mill's precise whereabouts from Tuesday to Thursday of this week were a source of speculation.

The Establishment pick, folks.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

People are showing up.

People, vote.

ICE detains family seeking emergency care for child at Portland hospital The Venezuelan parents and their 7-year-old daughter entered the U.S. legally.

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

a man in a white shirt and tie is talking on a phone Alt: A man in a white shirt and tie (Jim Carrey in the movie “Liar Liar”) is talking on an old-style phone before he throws it in disgust

Me every few minutes during this press … thing

Thought the paper-clip moment would be the standout. Nope … hearing him say “lover” is where my gag reflex kicked in

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hoooo boy
