Media has a very large share of blame for normalizing Rump. Remember that when he shuts you down @politico.com

And nice work. Give yourselves a pat on the back. 🙄
Hey @politico.com—Trump pardoned white supremacists & convicted war criminals in his first term, like, dozens of them. How does Biden pardoning his son for a minor drug offense "expand" that?

Corporate media continues to fail. For those interested in actual analysis: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

If I were ever President, I'd make Leslie Jones my Press Secretary. Let Peter Doocey deal with that.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed.

Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth.

When corporations are raking in record profits, CEOs make 200 times more than workers' median compensation, and billions are being spent on stock buybacks, the problem is not inflation or workers demanding higher wages. The problem is sociopathic corporate greed.

There were two troubling oversights at the recent Walkley Awards:

- Kate McClymont getting no recognition for her stellar work on #AlanJones
- not one mention of the hundreds of journalists murdered by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon.

Assad’s brutal war against the Syrian people was infamously one of the bloodiest campaigns of mass slaughter in recent memory. And yet.

It’s difficult to overstate what a huge deal this is. Perhaps, dare we hope, justice is finally coming for the people of Gaza. A first, historic step.

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000.

The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century.

16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years.

🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.

Isn’t it rich that Republicans are outraged over Diddy and Jeffrey Epstein, yet they’re bending over backwards to defend Matt Gaetz? Accused sex trafficker Matt Gaetz.

It’s like watching a morality play written by the guy who owns the brothel. 🤢
