Now, the people responsible for protecting the newsroom’s independence are being fired. A government-funded military newspaper is not supposed to become a Pentagon PR operation simply because its reporting makes leadership uncomfortable!
nytimes.com
Pentagon Fires Editor and Publisher of Independent Military Publication
The firings at Stars and Stripes also claimed a Middle East correspondent. They are the latest effort by the Pentagon to diminish the news outlet’s editorial independence.

Taylor Farms, the lettuce supplier at the center of our explosive diarrhea outbreak, has spent millions to oppose food regulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans:

Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak
The company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

The sequence of events with Trump's reflecting pool fiasco follows a pattern characteristic of many of the president’s projects and policies. While the steps may occur in different orders, they end in the same place: failure, with regular people paying the price.

The Reflecting Pool mess is right out of Trump's destructive playbook
Like other failed beautification projects, the president's ego trip will cost taxpayers millions.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

In October, an agent's own bodycam video showed him telling victim Marimar Martinez, before opening fire, “Do something, bitch.” Later, he texted a group chat involving other agents, “I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” trib.al/mIXijqk

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

From his mad ravings to the generals meeting yesterday (transcribed in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter this morning). This kind of shit is what they're trying to hide:
"They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day, the guy is falling downstairs. He said, It’s not our President. We can’t have it. I’m very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs for, like, a month, stairs, like these stairs, I’m very—I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall, because it doesn’t work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen and it became a part of their legacy. We don’t want that. You walk nice and easy. You’re not having—you don’t have to set any record. Be cool. Be cool when you walk down, but don’t—don’t pop down the stairs. So one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a President, but he would bop down those stairs. I’ve never seen it. Da-da, da-da, da-da, bop, bop, bop. He’d go down the stairs. Wouldn’t hold on. I said, It’s great. I don’t want to do it. I guess I could do it. But eventually, bad things are going to happen, and it only takes once. But he did a lousy job as president. A year ago, we were a dead country. We were dead. This country was going to hell.”

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
