Oh how I wish we could watch these trials
I don’t claim to understand the legal details but the implications are very straightforward and it’s a great read !
New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace

"After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

I'm so tired of the need to center MAGA feelings everywhere. The Fuck Your Feelings Crowd needs theirs catered to constantly. Why don't some of these fucking stories center on my fears for my student debt, health (cancer survivor!), Hispanic sister and newborn niece growing up in this shit hole?

I’m sure this had nothing to do with him portraying pornography in front of a special session on his computer screen……

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries.

When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom.

I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.
weird that neither of these articles two main stories decrying censorship mention WaPo's firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social I guess democracy really does die in darkness

If we want to cut down on political violence in this country, let’s have Congress pass a law that makes it illegal for politicians to lie…….. it seems like if we’re going to be legislating what people can and can’t say then they should start with themselves.

Mr. Schmitt committing political violence by LYING like a politician about who is responsible for political violence in this country.

And they let them on and let them spin ……………why?
Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice. You actually killed Charlie. Enough is enough."
