Logged on for the first time in months, and this is the news I'm greeted with?! See ya next year.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?

DUFFY: *walks away*


(The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

The same people wailing about DEI literally can’t spell their own job title.

Who loves AJ as much as I do?? I started a fun new project designing shirts! This is one of my first. I hope my Bucks fam on here order! Let’s get this going with AJ Automatic! bucks-beer-wisco-d163bae674.printify.me

"Watching the sausage get made."

Trump’s FCC chair gets to work on punishing TV news stations accused of bias Chairman Brendan Carr revives bias complaints against CBS, ABC, and NBC stations.

Far too many license holders will stifle good reporting in order to not upset Trump.

This very dark week just got darker.

A tweet by Rep. Gloria Johnson ( @VoteGloriaJ ) includes a screenshot of a document from the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women titled 'Growing American Patriots Through Literacy', dated March 2024. The document controversially references Adolf Hitler in the context of training youth. A news headline reads: 'Tennessee Republican women’s group cites Hitler in promoting its reading list' by Sarah Dolgin. Johnson comments: "Well, here we are. Tell me again how we didn’t see what we saw. Chattanooga Republican women say to be like Hitler."

Maybe they were just overstimulated and accidentally did Nazi stuff.

Why were the cop unions quiet when he pardoned the people who assaulted cops?

'Hitler Pardoned His Goons Too'

A breathtaking must-read piece from former DOJ prosecutor Harry Litman.

If Giannis doesn’t make some kind of “I just flew in from New Orleans and boy are my arms tired!” dad joke at some point tonight I’m gonna be really disappointed 😂

LOOKING BACK: This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service....

Select January 6th Committee Final Report and Supporting Materials Collection

Dear members of the press,

Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE:

When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here:

Opinion | The missing context from the Elon Musk salute We can’t have a functioning democracy if we think our opponents are evil.

Elon Musk biographer here.

The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now.

Publicly. Daily.

The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

Chris Murphy details that Trump pardoned David Dempsey, a guy who beat cops and even other rioters on January 6

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute.

Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

Hey #NBASky (especially all the new arrivals), make sure to follow my guy @jimowczarski.bsky.social for all your Bucks news.

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

In Wisconsin, there is bipartisan support in both the Assembly and Senate to extend postpartum Medicaid coverage for new moms from just 60 days to 12 months. A swing district Republican introduced a new bill. The Senate voted 32-1 on this last session.

One man stands in the way: Robin Vos.

Remember this,

X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have all kissed the ring of darkness.

BlueSky is our only social media salvation. We must protect it. 🦋

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.
