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.

To paraphrase a line from "Airplane!" -- it looks like I picked the wrong week to rewatch HBO's "Chernobyl." Paranoia level is up.

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?

Currently re-watching HBO miniseries "Chernobyl. Decisions made by party officials based on politics, lying to the public, scientists sidelined. Even scarier now than it was when released in 2019.

We need journalists who don't praise Karoline Leavitt for how good she is at lying.

Gifted - Chris Evans & Mckenna Grace were wonderful as the uncle raising his gifted niece. Especially like their honest conversation about faith and God. Refreshing.

Hmm. That would explain why he made such a big deal about the renovation of the Lincoln bathroom. Nats just wasn't happy with the accommodations.

He was swearing more than usual in last night's rally. Desperation seeping out? The crowd chanting "4 more years" was both ridiculous and troubling.

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.

Word to the wise: Polls indicated El-Sayed was going to win the primary by "double-digits" - he won by only 1%. Voting is the only poll that matters.

Many 50-somethings are staying in jobs they're very unhappy with for insurance reasons plus the lack of opportunities in that age range.

Who is that blond white woman? Every time she's on Abby's show, I find myself screaming shut up, shut up, shut up at her! But she never does. Incredibly rude to other panelists.

If ashli babbitt's family can get $5 million after she literally broke into the Capitol to overturn an election, Renee Good's family should get at least triple that for ICE agents murdering her in the damn street.

Sadly, this is a perfect description: "it’s as if our entire nation’s armed forces were being run by an emotionally-stunted six-year-old boy who broke into his parent’s liquor cabinet and guzzled an entire bottle of gin."
