WSJ Memory Holes Trump's Near-Assassination of His Vice President - emptywheel
WSJ seems to have forgotten about January 6 and the WaPo and NYT have forgotten about Trump's role in it.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

We're not done yet | 18F

Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered the US Cyber Command to ‘Stand Down’ on all Russia operations, offensive and defensive. Leaving millions vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Important to note that the DOGE employee seeking access to your banking data is not the one that resigned, and then returned, because of his racist messaging. It's another one. www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans.

Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference “has gone down well in Moscow.”

That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

Every new agency, it needs to be said: Musk is NOT going after DOD, which has never passed an audit.

This is not about the deficit.
NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.

“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

i don't feel bad for the 22 year olds Musk is using for his coup but if they were actually smart they'd realize there's a reason he isn't using experienced engineers. they're not his most special little boys, they're disposable and too stupid to ask questions. if things go bad they take the fall.

I dunno it seems destabilizing to create a cadre of heavily armed extremists who are fanatically loyal to the president and have reason to believe they are legally untouchable.

The price of eggs have increased since Trump took office, in some places by as much as $2. Trump also scrapped an executive order that lowered the prices of medication obtained through Medicare and Medicaid.

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!!

I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!
