Jessica Tarlov just torched the GOP’s “Epstein hoax” spin on live TV. She pulled the receipts: Trump is named over 1,000 times, while the so-called Jeffries “link” is nothing but a random fundraising email with zero meeting, zero donation, zero connection.

The truth is not on their side.

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

Yes. Surprise. Pope Leo says people should be treated with basic decency and respect.
Imagine that, MAGA. Follow the teachings of Christ. I know that's hard for you, but listen to the Pope.

Authoritarians are openly buying up major social networks (X, TikTok), and what's left of our broken mainstream media (CBS, CNN), then tasking Carr with bullying any stragglers into being feckless echoes of serious journalism.

Carr is a joke, but the broader mission is still deadly serious.
media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention:

the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC

the scandal was created by right wing media

the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law

PBC, NPR never aired the documentary
Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.
