ProPublica’s brand messaging should be:
Doing the Work Corporate Media Consistently Fails to Do
Sept. 11 Victims’ Lawsuit Against Saudi Government Can Go to Trial, Judge Rules
Information uncovered by plaintiffs has already undermined the FBI’s conclusion that two U.S.-based Saudi officials “unwittingly” helped al-Qaida hijackers after they arrived in America.

As the country celebrates its veterans and the service they provided, it’s worth noting that the current president is actively fighting to keep 1.2 million veterans from receiving their food benefits.

Kidnapping Children

Hunter Demster has been an outstanding man, and followed these task forces around Memphis. They are not kind to him by any means. During this follow, he caught a sinister act.

This is hundreds of agents swarming one family.

I would like to take this moment to thank all of the more progressive city mayors, especially in the U.S. , who (with help from their comms teams, likely) are ON this platform and authentically sharing /engaging.

YOU are the future and I will #NamAndFame you and nudge others to do the same.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov want answers.

The whistleblower came forward with the information to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Good to see Bloomberg picking up on the Miami Herald’s tenacious reporting. Would be nice to give them some credit.

We’ve known about Acosta and Epstein for years because of the Herald. From 2019> www.miamiherald.com/opinion/edit...

Hate to amplify evil anti-Americans but the Trump Regime is full of them. Solid expose and nonprofit media worth supporting.
Vought holds one of the most powerful jobs in D.C., and he’s used his position to wage a quiet war to change the shape of the entire U.S. government.
