Amazing how legacy media panics over a leftist mayor, compared to how chill they were about an actual fascist becoming president. Really clarifies their priorities.
He's not even sworn in and fucking Politico is counting him out. With journalists like Politico's and the New York Times', who needs enemies?

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.

The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.

They are hiding something.

Miller's "tactics have triggered a sustained cultural backlash in defense of the specific migrants in Trump-Miller’s crosshairs and of immigration more broadly as a positive good for the country. Miller has helped drive Trump’s approval on immigration—once a “good” issue for him—into the toilet"
Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died.
Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromance—paid for in Ukrainian lives.

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

They’ve been slashing healthcare due to “waste, fraud and abuse”.

Telling people they must “prove they matter” to receive Medicaid.

Yet this man frauded the system of $1.2 billion dollars and what does he get?

A pardon!

It was never about saving money.

It’s eugenics.
