New in PN: MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable

"The Epstein files are a 'hoax,' Trump says — a lie made up by Dems to make him look bad. Yet somehow, at the same time, there’s nothing in them that could make him look bad — b/c if there was, Biden would have released them. So which is it?"
MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable
To believe anything they say requires a complete suspension of common sense.

Media need to report on this as they report on other baseless claims of the antivax movement, bc the lunatics are running the asylum at the FDA.

The institution is compromised. Make it clear who made this decision and how little work they showed *in the headline*. Don’t confuse the public further.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

I’m old enough to remember… oh never mind. These hypocrites don’t give a damn about their hypocrisy. They spend years falsely accusing various members of “the left” of doing what they have absolutely no problem and no shame doing themselves. The “censorship industrial complex” scam.

Hegseth’s foolish threat to investigate Sen. Mark Kelly for urging military to refuse illegal orders is more sickening in light of his illegal order to “kill everyone” after two wounded men survived his first military strike. Hegseth must be held accountable.

Sarah Beckstrom seems like she was a wonderful person who had a bright future ahead of her. Such a tragedy.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.
