Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

This is just a slightly politer version of the lies Robin Vos spreads about UW all the time (bsky.app/profile/mcop...). It's ugly. It's not true. Nor are the grants lies true. Frankly, it's all obscene given the authoritarian assault now on 🇺🇸 higher ed.

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

"This is completely orchestrated by President Trump… In previous administrations, any hint of contact on a criminal case would be a scandal on its own"

Rarely are the corruption documents made public by the perpetrators.

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up.

And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name.

Shouldn’t be hard!

Pentagon Limits Journalists’ Access to Military Information The US Defense Department is requiring journalists to agree to use only pre-approved information about the military or lose their credentials to cover the Pentagon, the latest Trump administration effort to shape media reporting.

In less than 50 days, we’re electing governors who will lead, listen and deliver:

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization.

It’s all out in the open.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Article excerpt: Other states followed as police departments began to disclose in the 2010s that they systemically failed to test DNA evidence in rape cases. Meanwhile, a growing body of research found that police regularly performed inadequate rape investigations, deciding reports were unfounded before interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence or testing DNA. Across the country, most reports of rape do not result in prosecution, research shows.  ”They judge the victim,” said Michigan State University professor Rebecca Campbell, who has authored multiple studies on how police conduct rape investigations. “That’s what I found in my research, and it’s been replicated by other research teams and other jurisdictions throughout the United States.”

Research shows police regularly perform inadequate rape investigations and fail to test for DNA evidence. That has led lawmakers across the country to extend their statutes of limitations.

This hasn’t happened in Massachusetts.

The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis

@kenmartin.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

What are the DNC and Democratic Party doing about voter registration that does not involve using volunteers? It looks like we are having a pretty big problem here.

The Democratic Party Faces a Voter Registration Crisis

What is the DNC doing about voter registration? Do we still rely on volunteers or do we have paid professionals? According to the NYT, we are experiencing a big problem here and it’s not something I’m hearing anyone talk about.

Screenshot from Fox News that says CDC official includes 'pregnant people' terminology and pronouns in resignation letter Daskalakis accused President Trump's administration of attempting 'to erase transgender populations' By Alex Nitzberg • Fox News Published August 28, 2025 1:47pm EDT

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A.

Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions.

This what Fox News served.

This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?

It isn’t just that JD Vance lies constantly.

It’s that when he lies he does it with smugness, arrogance and condescension.

National Parks are more than scenic views, they’re a promise to future generations to protect truth, history, & nature. Now, the Administration is pressuring the Park Service to scrub references to slavery & the Black experience.

Maybe Jake Tapper should look into if Trump’s age has anything to do with him forgetting about his intimate relationship with Jeff

Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files Bondi told president at the meeting that Justice also decided to not release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims.

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

Speaker Johnson is so afraid of Donald Trump that he’s sending us home early instead of letting us vote on releasing the Epstein files.

The American people deserve to know what is in these files.

What are Donald Trump and Mike Johnson trying to hide?

This warmongering fucker needs to be impeached

And if you're offended by my language, consider that I'm a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and presidential historian who has done more research on the fact that Trump and Netanyahu planned this war for years than anyone writing in English
