The mainstream media has collapsed in 2 ways: Gradually, then suddenly
Whatever was expected with the right-wing capture of CBS News...it's worse. I looked into its MPLS shooting "internal bleeding" propaganda, a historically bad act of journalism

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites."
It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.

This is Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense. Labeling the highest ranking black Medal of Honor recipient “DEI.” Pure racism. My latest post. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...
Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

Bingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING.
It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.

Stop calling these acts of deliberate malicious destruction mistakes — if you close your eyes and fire machine gun spray ceaselessly into a crowd claiming you just want to scare some of them off, it’s not a mistake that there are casualties.
The Trump administration is racing to fix mistakes after some agencies fired probationary employees who had accepted the deferred resignation offer for federal workers.
These feds took Trump’s ‘fork’ deal. Then they got fired — creating a government ‘mess.’

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience.
Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

A billionaire who has attached himself to the federal government while sucking massive amounts of money from it thinks *other* people are “parasites”
This is disgusting, especially for someone who has been given so much power over government programs.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule
