Jessica Tarlov just torched the GOP’s “Epstein hoax” spin on live TV. She pulled the receipts: Trump is named over 1,000 times, while the so-called Jeffries “link” is nothing but a random fundraising email with zero meeting, zero donation, zero connection.

The truth is not on their side.

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

As if we needed more proof that Republicans are insane everywhere…

A staffer for NJ Rep Jeff Van Drew paid someone to slash her, wrote “Trumps Whore” on her body, had a friend zip tie her, leave her in the woods & then call 911!

Yes. Surprise. Pope Leo says people should be treated with basic decency and respect.
Imagine that, MAGA. Follow the teachings of Christ. I know that's hard for you, but listen to the Pope.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

Anyone & everyone are vulnerable. Some of us saw this coming. They were never going to 🛑 at “just” one target.

Donald Trump's attacks on immigrants are a direct threat to the checks & balances and basic rights that protect us all.
Our leaders cannot stay silent, they have a duty to fight for our freedoms. Demand your representative stand up to Donald Trump at 202-224-3121.

We get vaccines to prevent disease and death—vaccines have saved countless lives. But despite the fact that the claim that vaccines cause autism has been debunked repeatedly, RFK Jr. continues to promote it, even now stating it on the CDC website.

Authoritarians are openly buying up major social networks (X, TikTok), and what's left of our broken mainstream media (CBS, CNN), then tasking Carr with bullying any stragglers into being feckless echoes of serious journalism.

Carr is a joke, but the broader mission is still deadly serious.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Epstein’s journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

'What are young and/or struggling journalists supposed to think when the most successful people in the business are the ones with malleable ethics and poor judgement (and, to be honest, pretty bad writers)?'

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

The War on Professionalism and Professional Competence Incompetence and sloppiness are the self-conscious ethos of the administration.

"Trump II administration figures often speak the language of merit in order to contrast it to 'DEI' or 'affirmative action,' but in practice they only hire incompetent clowns—so long as they are also loyal clowns." - @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com

“I believe the crime is not what we were doing. The crime on that day was on the other side of the 10th floor door, where ICE agents are keeping our neighbors in cruel detention conditions,” Lander said outside court

He could face a 30-day jail term, if convicted

Another female reporter I spoke to said that after the Times profile dropped last week, a male source joked about how she would never do that. “I didn't have the time to lose my mind at him about how he's the 700th person in my life to imply directly or indirectly that as a journalist I sleep with my sources because that's what all female journalists do,” she told me, “but it is a really tiresome trope and then it REALLY SUCKS when a female journalist ACTUALLY GOES AND DOES IT.”

this post from @marisakabas.bsky.social, and this graf in particular, is so spot on and is honestly like something that's way too relevant for sports journalism as a microcosm of the entire industry. www.thehandbasket.co/p/moral-rot-...

"That rot appears in journalists in different forms: debasing themselves at the feet of power because it’s rewarded; allowing themselves to be debased by the powerful to maintain status and access; and identifying more with their powerful subjects than regular people"
