The funniest thing about Hegseth’s maniacal misguided focus on military fitness is how every time he works out with the troops, it demonstrates he’s actually bad at it.

Today in how Bari Weiss screwed up CBS News, we bring you the network's social media apology for royally screwing up the Dennis Hastert obit post. Focusing on banking laws vs child sex abuse is a mind boggling oversight.

former speaker of the house dennis hastet, who represented illinois for two decades in congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died. shows photo of hastert.

cbs news post

Dennis Hastert, the disgraced former GOP Speaker of the House, died earlier today at 84.

A prior version of this post stated that Hastert was jailed for violating banking laws. That post missed the mark. Hastert was jailed on charges related to his concealment of hush money payments made to cover up sexual abuse.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

I already see us getting a news cycle parsing through Trump's "let 'em take out Los Angeles" comments, with media folks straining themselves to give the most charitable interpretation of what he actually meant. But one thing's clear - that Nebraska crowd cheered on the prospect of LA getting nuked.

This is so unsurprising that the NY Times miscounted the number of Trump press secretaries to join Fox News. Leavitt makes 3, not 2: Kayleigh McEnany is a current host, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders was a Fox contributor between the end of her WH tenure in 2019 and her 2021 run for Arkansas gov.

What better way to spent valuable time on a Sunday show a month before enormously consequential midterms than national political media demonstrating yet again how out of touch they are by continuing their relentless promotion of Emanuel’s presidential aspirations.

What is the purpose of having a liar on your show? One in an administration that is barring your network from covering the president? Is to help spread the lies even as you give tepid pushback?

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

I can't shake the feeling that Elon Musk returning to government service will be as catastrophic as Donald Trump returning. Democrats and the media not spotlighting his ongoing public racism and watching him to just Irish goodbye from all the damage of DOGE is going to haunt this country.
