I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

Red states accused the Biden administration of "jawboning" -- coercing social media platforms to "censor" content (mostly COVID misinformation), merely by liaising and flagging false content for those companies. Now the FCC *explicitly threatens* a network over content but that's all good?

Remember when people were criticizing comedians for things they said actually said and even though nothing actually happened to them, Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle and all the “edgy” comedians said the “cancel culture” was coming from the left?

Good times.

That confused reading was greatly aided by narcissists like Glen Greenwald
The whole idea of "antiwar" Trump has long rested on a confused reading of his hatred of multilateralism, the international order, and the Deep State. He doesn't hate those things for "dovish" reasons. He hates them for degenerate/corrupt reasons.

Thoughts on that:

Goldberg did what he did with truthful precision and patriotic concern, and of course with the foreknowledge that he would be slandered by high officials.
I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT
Mike Waltz smears Goldberg as “the bottom scum of journalists.”

The larger story told by Hegseth's war text fiasco, via @brianbeutler.bsky.social, one Dems should amplify:

"This is a careless administration fixated on corrupt scheming, propaganda generation, and nurturing Trump’s ego, not advancing valid interests."

American Fed. of Teachers statement on Trump effort to close Education Dept:

“Trying to abolish it—which, by the way, only Congress can do—sends a message that the president doesn’t care about opportunity for all kids. Maybe he cares about it for his own kids.. or his donors’ kids—but not all kids”

@lizcheney.bsky.social : "History will remember this day--when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

One of many more disgusting things to come.
The ONLY reason Trump picked Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State was so his daughter-in-law Lara Trump could be appointed to that Senate seat without being elected.
She will run the Senate, essentially.

In the absence of local news--much of the country is now a news desert--every story becomes nationalized. Trans rights isn't about your neighbor's kid you've known their whole life; it's a debate on Fox. Migrants aren't that family at your church, they're an "issue." Guess which side this favors?

If Trump's first administration was stocked with Bond Villains, it seems like the second one is going with more of a Legion of Doom vibe.

If Gaetz withdraws or gets voted down, I hope Dems will turn to the question of why the GOP president tried to put a child sex trafficker in charge of federal law enforcement. I have very little confidence in Dem leadership, but that’s not the kind of thing Trump should be able to tiptoe away from.

MAGA’s embrace of RFK Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” is so funny because these same people CRUCIFIED Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that American kids should have access to healthy lunches in school.

What led us to this disaster as 1) weak efforts at accountability for Trump-world malfeasance when there was opportunity and 2) an anti-incumbency wave driven by negative economic sentiment that was largely grounded in false beliefs driven by distorted media coverage.
