Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Good grief United Airlines is a total shit show. Been traveling for 16 hours and not a single flight has gone according to schedule. Bag handlers don’t balance the plane correctly. Hours of delays. Sitting around waiting for a flight attendant to arrive. #united

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.
In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

So The Tennessean votes to keep us out of the press corps because they think we’re too biased — but their parent company can hand out awards to the comptroller, and that’s totally fine? 🤨

Our seniors are not waste. Social Security is an EARNED benefit that Americans are entitled to.
The real fraud = GOP giving tax handouts to billionaires. And the real abuse = making it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get their benefits.

As a New Yorker on SSDI & a fixed income, I support Senators Gillibrand & Schumer as I could. BUT NO MORE & I encourage YOU to do the same. BOTH must go at the end of their terms, but Chuck Schumer MUST step down as minority Leader. In the last 24 hours Schumer proved he CANNOT rise to the occasion.

Mahmoud Khalil must be released, the Trump Administration must answer for his detention, and these attacks on First Amendment rights must end.
🚨BREAKING: With @raskin.house.gov & @scanlon.house.gov, I’m leading 100+ House Democrats in demanding answers on Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest.
Trump’s attempt to deport Khalil is authoritarian & an attack on the First Amendment. We won’t sit quietly as his administration tries to dismantle free speech.

Strip searches and restraint chairs and $16 million in taxpayer dollars wasted on a failed concentration camp. Well done.
Trump has spent $16M setting Gitmo up for detainees and then deciding it was too expensive.
