Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Hey @msnbc.com, did he lie? Everything he said was true. He wasn’t being insensitive or inappropriate. He was speaking to the reality that we live in. Shame on you.
#BREAKING: MSNBC has issued a statement condemning remarks made by contributor Matthew Dowd following reports of a shooting that killed Charlie Kirk.
"Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. We apologize for his statements, as has he."

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.”
Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?”
He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

is anyone reasonably prominent talking about the fact that the Israeli attack on Iran was entirely because they were finally losing support from Western leaders for their genocide?

But nooo…law enforcement never escalates anything. Props to Matt Gutman for at least attempting to give them the benefit of the doubt (tired, hot, etc.).
Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court sided with a straight woman who claimed she faced bias in the workplace after she was passed over for positions that went to gay colleagues.
The decision will make it easier for members of majority groups to prove job discrimination claims.
