Dear news media,
You keep making the same mistake, which is presenting the claims of the Trump regime as if you think there's a good chance they're true. Instead, present them as the claims of people who have lied to us thousands of times.
You can do better if you choose to.
Sincerely,
Mark

Trump's crimes make the coverup look like child's play.

I’ve heard that this big breasted blonde woman is a relevant indicator of some culture war thing or whatnot. My new think piece drops tomorrow on Moot.

History tidbit. Back in the day, people kept floating the idea that Mario Cuomo should run for president. He ruled it out, never explaining why. [Whisper, whisper.]

Republicans: it's a free country so why shouldn't we choose our own voters?

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

When a Democrat is president, the press has access to accurate statistics that can be used for attacks on the president’s economic vulnerabilities, such as inflation or unrmployment.
When a Republican is president, statistics can’t be trusted, and anyway they might cause unfair bias.

When Sisterhood Was In Flower

The Golden Schlafly Is the phrase Republican Female Empowerment self-cancelling? The Terrible Sand Kingdom of Arizonastan is doing their own research! Women shouldn’t hold office, says GOP woman now running for office “I don’t know if I would vote for any female,”…

“Democracy dies in darkness.” Hey! Who turned the lights off?

The ICE recruitment poster says “Defend your culture.” Do you mean Toni Morrison? Gil Scott Heron? Terry Southern? Be more specific. Oh, you meant German culture. OK, sorry.

“And they frown on day drinking, so I have to hide my flask.”

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

The talking heads go on and on about “he’s losing the bro podcasters on Epstein,” as if that was our great hope and chance. Hey, the brown shirts were expendable once Hitler took power. Fuck the bro podcasters, it’s up to the “decent” people to stop this.

"All the experts disagree with this political party, so clearly the experts must all be wrong"

“We’re not fascists, everyone else in the government is a radical leftist.”

ICE GOONS have been unleashing tactical beatdowns on unarmed protesters in LA.

Can't wait for John Roberts to tell us how the 14th Amendment doesn't actually say or mean that.

Yes, bronze from anear, by gold from afar, heard steel from anear, hoofs ring from afar, and heard steelhoofs ringhoof ringsteel.

Jo Manda (Serge Reggiani) stands outside a large window in the rustic home he shares with Marie (Simone Signoret) who is looking out that window on the right, in a nightgown and holding a bowl. This is during an idyllic period when they are living in the country together, but trouble is waiting for them.

26. Casque d'Or (1952). Jacques Becker.

It’s come to our attention that parts of the U.S. Constitution have been crossed out with a sharpie.

Tucson City Council pulls plug on Amazon's Project Blue Tucson city leaders unanimously voted to halt discussions with the developers of a massive planned data center on the Southeast Side, and continue to implement a policy regulating such sites. "We're d...

'Tucson is not for sale': City to continue to craft regulations for future data centers; Proposed development on SE Side dumped on 7-0 vote

You’re an inspiration.

Yeah, it’s the old “stupid or evil” fallacy. It’s almost always both.

A brilliant and comprehensive look at one of my favorite films.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Thank you for sharing positive news stories.

Maggie Haberman has a special understanding of the president gained from years of following him around. Today she told the TV that he “believes his own bullshit.” This could be useful information going forward, in ways that we don’t know or ever will.

Trump talked to Andrew Cuomo about the mayor's race. Completely disqualifying that Cuomo would even take the call, even worse that his allies want Trump involved www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...
