Jessica Tarlov just torched the GOP’s “Epstein hoax” spin on live TV. She pulled the receipts: Trump is named over 1,000 times, while the so-called Jeffries “link” is nothing but a random fundraising email with zero meeting, zero donation, zero connection. The truth is not on their side.

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

Authoritarians are openly buying up major social networks (X, TikTok), and what's left of our broken mainstream media (CBS, CNN), then tasking Carr with bullying any stragglers into being feckless echoes of serious journalism. Carr is a joke, but the broader mission is still deadly serious.

this post from @marisakabas.bsky.social, and this graf in particular, is so spot on and is honestly like something that's way too relevant for sports journalism as a microcosm of the entire industry. www.thehandbasket.co/p/moral-rot-...
Another female reporter I spoke to said that after the Times profile dropped last week, a male source joked about how she would never do that. “I didn't have the time to lose my mind at him about how he's the 700th person in my life to imply directly or indirectly that as a journalist I sleep with my sources because that's what all female journalists do,” she told me, “but it is a really tiresome trope and then it REALLY SUCKS when a female journalist ACTUALLY GOES AND DOES IT.”

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.
Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker

I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money.

The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.
