Do you remember when politicians sought to avoid even the appearance of impropriety? When there were automatic disqualifying behaviors for office seekers?

The Washington Post Fired Karen Attiah, But They Only Elevated Her
The Post fired Karen Attiah, its last Black opinion columnist, because she posted about America's history of coddling white violence. Well, she's got a few things to get off her chest.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name.
Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.

Robert Garcia just confirmed DOJ handed House Oversight the exact same docs they gave right-wing influencers back in February. That’s it. Nothing new. Told you they weren’t gonna comply with the subpoena. They’re not giving them a damn thing.

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government.

Imagine how strong the mainstream media incentives to normalize and equivocate must be if they result in a piece that looks at a deranged, anti-science conspiracy theorist devastating public health and goes: "Good questions, just going about it the wrong way... just like Michelle Obama!"

Team Trump is purposefully raising your electricity prices, hoping you’ll be mad at your electric utility and not blame them. The benefit to them is extra dollars for their greedy fossil fuel donors.

It is so wild to me that we had a terrorist attack on the CDC and it just blended into the rest of the political violence.
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
