Let Rep. Thompson give a lesson in Reporting 101 to about half the DC press corps.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Every day brings us closer to IT HAPPENING.
But you imagine where you might be, eventually, when you learn IT has HAPPENED.
Maybe you will wake up, anxious and scared and angry (i.e., normal).
Then, out of nowhere, the push notification from THE NEWS: “Breaking: IT Has HAPPENED.”
What will you feel like? When IT HAPPENS?

When It Happens
It’s been so long, you sometimes forget that eventually, IT will HAPPEN. It’s impossible to say when IT will HAPPEN. But it can’t be too long until...

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Put this up in The Louvre
This is an incredible story and worth reading all the way through to get to the *delicious* last sentence. Exquisite.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

JFC this is a tough but *essential* listen. @newsagents.bsky.social carefully and methodically dismantle not just 'Prince' Andrew but all the other abusive men out there.
"That is so far on the wrong side of what is acceptable."
Fresh reports claim Prince Andrew obtained Virginia Giuffre's social security number and attempted to hire social media trolls to tarnish her name after she accused him of sexual assault.

I assume most of the actual reporting pointed out that this is bullshit, but this is one of those cases where even repeating the claim in a chyron or headline is irresponsible, unless the headline itself makes clear that it's not true.

They have moms of autistic kids at this presser and not autistic adults speaking. Very unsurprising.

this is really serious. if it continues, we’ll start to see states make do their own drug labels in some manner, possibly through collabs with other states, similar to what we are seeing with ACIP recs
The label of a drug is close to a sacrosanct document. It represents the trust between the government and the user of the drug that the drug is safe and effective and that all risks and benefits are accurately outlined. Changing it to suit a political agenda is imo an earthshaking matter

The President sounds like this all the time these days and is clearly non compos mentis but it just gets a pass from Congress, from the courts, from the media, from Wall Street, from every institution, because it's Trump.
Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

Trump says "Some groups [RFK suggests the Amish] don't take vaccines or pills and have no autism. No autism". One of the most shockingly inappropriate, inaccurate, and dangerous medical statements I've ever heard coming from a President. Utterly beyond the pail.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

People will say this doesn't matter, but it does. These signs *create* the reality and facade of Trump as master builder.
Signs bearing President Trump’s name have gone up at major construction projects. They were financed by the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law which he passionately opposed ahead of its passage.
