#MAGAfication is complete! Favorable edits of #Trump @60minutes.bsky.social interview that it vowed to never do again after Noem interview. On @cbsnews.com, @jdickerson.bsky.social repeated #Trump lie abt @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Then Ed O'Keefe repeated lie & added false #antisemitism charge.
Trump says it would be "hard" to give money to NYC if Mamdani is elected, bristles at Cuomo's "crazy" claim about sending in tanks.

Days before Election Day, the president told correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he would potentially withhold federal funds if front-runner Zohran Mamdani wins the election for NYC mayor.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”
According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

#Reagan was our worst (& dumbest) president before #Trump came along. However Repugs and some Dems love him. He also destroyed #California as governor. His CA policies started the #homeless & #mentalhealth crises that still exist. It took a Canadian ad guy to find his #Tariffs speech.-
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."
