I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Hail to the thief. And "fuck you" to every journalist who printed the risible lie that DOGE was a "cost cutting" or "efficiency" effort as if it were a truth everyone acknowledged. Don't print lies in the newspaper
According to IRS estimates, the internal sabotage by DOGE has already cost the U.S. Treasury more than $500 billion in revenues that otherwise would have been raised by April 15th. But it doesn’t stop there. DOGE is also in the process of closing down the Tax Division at the Department of Justice.

💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.

probably not the entire Neo-fascist moment, but large parts of it, could have been strangled in it's crib by taking the law seriously when it came to rich people and right wing politicians, rather than pearl-clutching about slippery slopes or the appearance of impropriety.
At some point there's going to be a serious reckoning over the fact that a large part of the reason for the surge in lawlessness was the Respectable Mainstream Press extorting the authorities into non-enforcement of the law against very obviously guilty rightist criminals basically just For Teh Lulz

the best part is none of Trump's base will ever ever ever doubt themselves or him. they are fundamentally ruined as people. he could execute their children in front of them and they'd still vote for him.
Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

This sounds an awful lot like saying anything that approaches an asylum request has become de facto grounds for detention.
She opted to return to France, but when she told a CBP officer who questioned her that she feared political persecution if she returned to Russia, the agency decided to detain her instead, according to one of the petitions filed by her lawyer.”
