Eric Schmitt’s conspiracy theory, slander and b-ball ignorance yesterday was humiliating. But also remember who he is: a natcon with a blood-and-soil belief that the only real Americans are descended from white Christians who immigrated before the mid-1800s. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I’ve covered Islamophobia for years. Trump’s GOP has taken it to a new level.
The shocking vilification of Muslims is one of the most troubling storylines of the midterms.

What good has ever come out of the Greek system? Rape, hazing, binge drinking, sororities leading women to the slaughter. And sure, I be persuaded to set aside the Black frats, never really hear about gang rapes at them.

As I discussed last night with Rachel Maddow, after I published my book, "HOW RUSSIA WON," which exposes Russian disinfo ops aimed at the US to help Trump, the Russians dragged me into a disinfo op attacking Dems in the midterms. See my OUR LAND newsletter: link.motherjones.com/public/47685...

There is criminal exposure everywhere you look in this administration, from the obvious of ICE murdering civilians in the streets, to more discrete stuff like insider trading or agencies funneling tax money into pro-Trump ads. This is what wanton corruption looks like, and the hammer must fall.

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Yes, yes we are pushing back.
Publishers Push Back: The NYT, Chicago Tribune, and other publishers are asking a federal judge to disregard the Trump Justice Department’s defense of OpenAI in a landmark copyright case, suggesting the administration may have been influenced by “political and financial interests.” The move came after the DOJ filed a brief earlier this month backing OpenAI’s use of copyrighted news articles to train A.I. models qualifies as “fair use,” arguing that restricting A.I. development could hurt U.S. competitiveness. The publishers countered that the government’s position is separate from the copyright questions before the court. “By all measures, this Statement of Interest appears to be an effort to further enrich the world’s largest companies—and the Administration’s largest donors—while undermining this country’s free press,” a spokesperson for The NYT said in a statement.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.
