I must disagree. It’s 90.

Mainstream media sanewashes Trump’s racist, lying State of the Union Mainstream media outlets reacted to President Donald Trump’s meandering, bigoted State of the Union speech on Tuesday night with another round of stories seeking to normalize his abnormal behavior.

Trump delivered a meandering, bigoted State of the Union. The New York Times called it β€œputting on a show.” The Post said he was β€œreframing” America. The sanewashing never rests.

The extent to which Justice Kavanaugh has become the most reliable third vote for the Trump administration says quite a lot about both him and the other three candidates.

it's a serious problem for the credibility of the court when a a sitting member is basically an internet troll who will say anything no matter how ludicrous to justify a position he already holds and we have to pretend like there's anything else going on here with him

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, dipshits

Pam Bondi Melts Down as Dems Press for Answers on Epstein Files Fiasco Attorney General Pam Bondi lashed out at lawmakers who pressed her for answers on the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files.

Pam Bondi ignored questions about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case, which has enraged lawmakers, survivors, and the public.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass. As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

Jeff Bezos Gutted the Newsroom. He Kept the Megaphone. Bezos didn’t abandon the Washington Post. He just decided which part of it he wanted.

The gutting of the Washington Post was not inevitable. Billionaires did it, on purpose.

The opinion section -- Bezos's megaphone for right-wing, billionaire-friendly agitprop -- is doing just fine.

the image of liam ramos circulated

it was more powerful than the entire gop propaganda machine, including the white house, fox news, and their courtiers in the mainstream media

it was such a compelling story that they had to furiously react with spin. they can be beaten. they bleed.

I joined my friend Greg and other cartoonists to draw something to welcome Liam Ramos home, but ~3800 children remain in ICE custody, including at least three students from Liam's school (and 25 parents). Join us at #Comics4Liam !

As we're sifting through the latest Epstein Files release with all the bombshells about Elon, the Trump administration and even the new CBS News Zoo Crew, please remember that they still haven't released half of what they were supposed to release.

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.

If not, why not?

I guess I just misinterpreted his multiple emails asking Epstein when he could go to the island

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

If the crew at 60 MINUTES is looking for a big scoop, they should probably look into Bari Weiss's connections to Jeffrey Epstein, given that her wife was friendly with him and she just hired another longtime friend of his too.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

"In theater" is a nice touch for describing Minneapolis. Worth noting the people involved, from Trump to Miller to Noem to Homan to Bovino to the majority of ICE and CBP goons, have never served in the military. They're playing out a war fantasy, dressing up in army costumes, like incredible losers.
