Congrats to Whit House correspondents - and their colleagues- for not reporting that the president is a psychopath.
Congrats to the White House Correspondents Association on deciding it was a good idea to “celebrate the First Amendment” with this guy.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
Or maybe that's just the beef. Seems like something more and before, though.
I'd still like to know what the beef is between JB Pritzker & Robin Kelly. It sure seems like more than just him not wanting her to be state party chair. (Pritzker initially backed Ald. Michelle Harris for the job, Kelly got it, then he ousted Kelly & installed IL Rep. Lisa Hernandez.)

For those who remember how this played out in #Chicago, or don't, I also offer: The Foie Gras Follies: www.beachwoodreporter.com/politics/the...
Because that's something experts would say, and what do they know.
Yeah, not thrilled with the framing. Maybe it just isn't news.
... anymore because it isn't working for them (and yes, our democracy is royally fucked up aside from this, like I've always said democracy is a journey not a destination and the journey may have ended) but even opposing reasonable campaign finance rules is also part of that.
I'm sure it's been said before but I don't think it's been emphasized: a big thrust of MAGA and Trump & Co.'s judgeships and election/ballot perversions/redistricting stem from an inability to get what they want through the ballot box, via democracy. They literally do not believe in democracy ...
Stephen Miller complaining about the UK finally eliminating heredity nobility from their legislature is a perfect encapsulation of how perverse it is to have these people in charge during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
One time I swear we touched all four corners of the tarmac, or however many corners there are, and I'm not at all exaggerating.
Been there, done that.
I'm in no mood today, people.
Who could be dumbfounded at this point? Where the fuck has that former US official who won't put his name on it been for the last decade?
He's right about one thing: The New York Times is failing.
Early in your career, look for jobs.
I’m so glad someone is finally writing about the weird drone stuff that’s been reported all over South Minneapolis since ICE arrived www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Please dear god please stop reposting print pages. It's 20fucking26. I've been saying this for 20 years. Next: the zillionth article arted with a news box, or a rolled up print edition. Illustrations of a prime reason for the industry's death spiral.
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
Again: Lots of people on the left on Reddit, and I assume elsewhere, blamed Zionists for purposely targeting a school.
What about the 26th, anything there?
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

You might do this kind of piece in a relatively sane administration with rigorous policy process - or a policy process at all - but to do it with this president is just #sanewashing. #Journalism
"Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned."
TIL:
Do not let them do this, I'm so tired of it I want to smash my face into the wall. #Journalism
