Too many people in the media give Trump props for "transparency" because he talks to reporters frequently. But he lies most of the time and often ignores questions. A day after he talked about letting Iran destroy Los Angeles and San Diego, he won't even explain what he meant.

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture." My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Congrats to the NY Times. Trump is calling for its "arrest" on the same day NYT ran a fawning story about his former press secretary, the "steely” and “nimble” Karoline Leavitt. When the Times' staff is frog-marched out of the newsroom at gunpoint, will they realize they brought it on themselves?

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.

“Total dirtbag” @ Eric Schmitt relies on fast-talking as cover for his gotcha moment, based on lies. He confused the ATL Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes, then got angry when he was busted in the hearing. Thanks Atty. Jack Smith & Sen. Klobuchar, for catching the lie & getting the truth into the record.

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

Donald Trump hates democracy. He hates free speech & a free press. He hates free & fair elections. He hates an independent judiciary & its duty to justice & the law. Yet he adores murderous dictators, particularly Putin. Who exactly is the enemy of the people? American voters have one more chance.

Trump's remarks to the UN General Assembly this morning amount to a series of confessions to war crimes for which he could now easily be put on trial in The Hague. This makes clear why he wants to tear down the ICC. It's to protect his friends Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, and himself.
