Nope. It’s a healthy message that should be repeated often.

YouTube video by MS NOW Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

In America they arrest you if you tell someone else not to commit a crime

Ah just realied I linked to the wrong story here! This is the one I meant to link to. There's a photo of three drones with long tethers and on one the panel it's carrying is clearly visible. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

can't believe ryan lizza is up against zamdani hypnotizing trump and mtg leaving congress and people are still going to pay to get past that paywall to read more about bamboo

I love paywalls now.

What is this I don't even

Hey, that was me who asked the question of Speaker Johnson and is next to him.

Hey @nytimes.com, why is this on page A16?

People in the replies are talking about how “low” this pay is.

Beloveds, this is more than I’ve ever made at any job in my life across Boston, D.C. and Connecticut. It’s twice what I made as a contractor at NBC!

The domino meme and the smallest domino is "Craigslist destroys classified ad revenue for local newspapers" and the big domino is, well, everything happening now

The Harvard Crimson kids are kicking ass on this Larry Summers story.

What this does so well is position the claims of trans inclusion as abuse alongside actual sexual abuse, and show how someone like Gaines only cares about the former in her desire to capture the spotlight and to make lots of money, while almost completely ignoring the latter, a documented reality.

The follow up here is "does the President want active duty service members following illegal orders?"

Reminds me of this incident from 2008.

Two weeks ago Sen. Cruz told the Federalist Society conference "It is not both sides. It is only one side saying: 'Silence my critics.'...It's only one side that is calling for silencing those they disagree with." He was talking about Democrats, of course.

Mike Johnson responds to my question about saying Democrats committed treasonable by death

Read to the end. It’s really not about “saving women’s sports” at all. Riley knows the names of the handful of young trans athletes in the US but I bet she couldn’t tell you how many cases were brought against coaches for abusing young women and girls last year.

I'd rather die, thanks

Ugh. So fucking awful.

My first job in journalism was as a copy editor, and I truly believe it taught me as much about journalism — on the copy desk in Warren, Ohio — as anything else I’ve learned since.

“Coed adult cheerleading” sent a chill down my spine. What do they cheer for, mortgages?

I thought it was just me 😭

the podcast-as-mass-media boom has always been fascinating to me because it doesn’t seem like anyone involved actually likes podcasts?

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

We saw on Friday elite solidarity rather than professional solidarity when Trump called a female reporter “piggy” and not a single one of her colleagues came to her defense—presumably because they didn’t want to threaten their own proximity to power.

"It was an accident that we brutally murdered and bone sawed that guy in an embassy while his fiancée waited outside."
