FFS. Rubio says that today was a very positive development, huge progress! The best day they've ever had!!
Of course, it's just the US and Russia at the table and they all agree Ukraine should surrender and give Putin everything he wants.
Ukraine has not been consulted.

You don’t think patronizing a social media site that promotes white nationalist and right wing accounts, amplifies trolls designed to stoke discontent, and actively suppresses left-of-center views is a problem for journalists?
And your field is “ethics”? OK.

It is mistaken to make inferences from social media to what Americans think in general.
I don’t think that being on X is a particular problem for journalists.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

The possibility of peer review probably contributes to honesty and rigor, judges below SCOTUS level will potentially have their work upheld or rejected by other professionals, while SCOTUS justices have no such constraint

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst".
But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record.
It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

Trump now says he will NOT abide by a federal judge's order to disburse SNAP benefits — despite the admin saying just yesterday it would partially fund November benefits.
He says SNAP benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government."

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
