Hey, Will Lewis, I fixed your vapid, suck-up note.

A disgraceful end for a disgraceful run as publisher. You could have fought for your troops. Instead, you did nothing to prevent this bloodbath. AND it was a terrible strategy anyway. Shameless.

As I note in my piece, these are ACTUAL questions that NBC News's Tom Llamas asked Donald Trump in his 'extended' interview, while not asking a single question about Epstein, or challenging him on a single lie.

this is not reporting, it's stenography

I wrote about exactly this issue in my newsletter this week--the shameful behavior of GOP Senators who definitely know better and seem determined to undermine their own position as Senators. sreenet.substack.com/p/its-only-b...

Clowns always imitate each other. 🤡

Help us honor #RepJohnLewis on what would have been his 85th birthday (Feb. 21) and post a #JohnLewisSelfie.

It's ok if you don't have a picture with him...we're using a "liberal" definition of the word selfie.

Let us know how he inspires you.

Why in the world would Meta choose this route (apart from saving money?) Community Notes on X — the model for Meta — are a disaster and have further spread misinformation and disinformation there.

HBD, Kahlil!

Any reason Biden can't simply pardon Trump to irritate him?

Image of what Sree wrote in 2022 about Bhattacharya: 🤢 No one should listen to this guy who thought Covid-19 was overblown, was a proponent of herd immunity and continues to suck-up to DeSantis and Trump.🤮#DesiHallofShame

As you can see, I've been writing about @DrJBhattacharya
being a deplorable member of the #DesiHallofShame since 2021. His being in charge of NIH is scary.

Elon has ruined Twitter search, so I can't even find all the times I've pointed out, in detail, Dr. Bhattacharya's issues.

Thanks... @digimentors.bsky.social is ready!
