Chair & President, Media Matters. An all around good guy fueled by caffeine, candy and comeuppance. Posts are mine alone.

Weird thing with emails like from Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC is that this man is quite literally suing me personally and my org into oblivion -- and seemingly committed to ruining my life. While I get that personalizing subject line it is a nice gimmick for fundraising, kinda sucks for me.

White House Counselor Navarro yelling at Bannon about Pirro: “Never mention her friggen name to me! Because that woman still refuses, refuses to fire John Crabb - the prosecutor who was involved in putting you and me behind bars, okay!?”

White House Counselor Peter Navarro complains to Bannon about Jim Jordan. Says Jordan hasn’t done more to reinforce election denial, teases that WH will be putting pressure on Jordan soon: “He has been so unhelpful in so many ways.”

Probably not a great sign for where things are heading when this guy starts going back on Bannon’s show…

1/ I have to correct some misinformation here. The stakes are too high. We aren’t going bankrupt. It's a totally unfounded and incendiary suggestion, especially for a news outlet to make. Also, they’re fundraising for themselves off of our bruises? Oof. Mercenary in the guise of being supportive.

It’s impossible to say how much we have practiced over the years. I am still rooting for her though.

She is just about 12 years old and has never, not once, caught a ball (or anything) her entire life. Desperately wants to, zero skill but total determination.

"Their president Biden was a warmonger. This man [Trump] is a peace monger. This is the greatest peace movement in modern American history. This is a peace mission. The fact that we have to use weapons is because the other side wants to build nuclear weapons to blow us off the face of the earth."

2/ Bannon guest: “They say he pulled a weapon on them and they shot him.That makes sense, they aren’t just going to shoot an unarmed guy on the sidewalk. There are eight 8 agents swarming this guy, so obviously he pulled a weapon out. He did something that they had to escalate to the use of force.”

This is an escalation, but admin has already been using gov’t power to crack down on media for a while. I know first hand. But, you have to defend free speech, not fold. (We are still fighting, but so far this lesson is standing firm better than caving).

Joe Rogan explaining quantum computing. “The sound of gay guys falling off a roof” might be one of goofiest and perplexing things I’ve heard in a while. Is this like an actual idiom and I’m just not familiar with it or something?

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed. Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance. My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...
