Was reading the suit against Alan Dershowitz noted in the newsletter and discovered that Batya Ungar-Sargon, formerly at Newsweek opinion and now at NewsNation, is also being sued by Rabbi Shmuley. Lots going on in this case. Come for the defamation, stay for the Kosher sex and Michael Jackson

we're about to see a wild years-long campaign of racism that's totally detached from anything Mamdani actually does in office or says

Unfortunately, the AP obit does not include the words "war crimes" or "torture," which is journalistic malpractice. This is somehow their entire section dedicated to Iraq

The NYT, Washington Post, AP and Reuters obis for Dick Cheney all mention that he shot his friend in the face. Fantastic.

Hot off the heels of chortling when a radio host said Mamdani would laugh if there’s another 9/11, Cuomo’s posted an endorsement from The Jewish Press that says a Mandani win sends the message that anti-Semitism is OK, tho Mamdani has repeatedly disavowed anti-Semitism

Stop doing this! Stop printing politically motivated lies without a shred of fact-checking! Your own outlet wrote about the DOJ removing a study that found far-right extremists commit 'far more' violence than others just a month ago! You are not a govt mouthpiece

I don't spend much time thinking about Sliwa but here he is complaining to the NYT about a 2020 bill that prohibits cops from kneeling or sitting on people they're arresting and about the "militant" CCRB which @hellgatenyc.com just reported is throwing out cases against cops and hiding the evidence

My inquiry likely would not even have happened if the EPA was even remotely close to complying with the federal time limit for FOIA requests. In part, I was looking into whether processing times were likely to grow. Federal law requires that agencies respond to requests within business 20 days.

In case you are wondering how some new federal employees are spending your taxpayer dollars, it's by wrongly accusing reporters of lying. A quick thread. Here's former Daily Caller EIC, climate change denialist and now EPA senior advisor for communications accusing me of deceiving him.

I feel like every story about the Trump admin's claims about cutting costs and government efficiency should be noting that government spending has not even gone down.
