Fantastic in-depth reporting. Seth knows how to connect the dots...and the regime knows he knows.

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts.

All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation.

Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

So the β€œeveryone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

Is this right?

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

Just being honest, I don't know who is out there who's better than Sean McDermott for the Bills.

Beane is the one who should have been fired.

FBI searches home of Washington Post reporter who investigated administration Agents seized laptops and a cellphone from Hannah Natanson in connection to a criminal case involving a Pentagon leak.

The FBI raided WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson’s honeymoon today over a story she did on Trump. Two years ago, Hannah wrote two articles about Between the World and Me being banned in my AP class. She has the highest integrity and is incredibly brilliant. More importantly, she is a good human. #fdt
