A few folks have been skeptical that there's been a shift but remember that earlier this year they were absolutely crowing about shipping people to CECOT and about building their concentration camp in the swamp - to the point of making "Alligator Alcatraz" merchandise

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

Democrats keep accusing the White House of playing petty partisan games with federal disaster aid.

And Trump keeps proving them right. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
‘Political games’: Blue states see a pattern as Trump backs disaster aid for red states
Those who believe the White House has politicized disaster relief have ample evidence to work with.

"the vice president is neutral on bigotry" is damning on its own as a headline, IMO, but still underplays just how much of what he said was actually pro-bigot
This is NYT headline morning after JD’s grotesque hot blast of white supremacist nativism at Turning Point’s hate-fest?!

This is pretext. Trump’s been obsessed w/wind turbines for decades, which began after Scotland put some in near his golf course. He sued the govt & lost, which is why he claims they cause cancer, mental illness in whales, bird extinctions, etc. Welcome to the 19th century. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

Both incompetence and malicious compliance seem to be equally plausible explanations for this clusterfuck.

"Get the principals on camera" is such a telling phrase here, because it tells us that for Weiss there's no world in which the victims of these horrific actions can actually be seen as the subjects of the story: They're background noise, and the people who matter are the ones sending them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

Big tech companies like Amazon and Meta may be passing the costs of building and operating their data centers on to YOU.

That’s right. You could be bankrolling the electricity costs of trillion-dollar tech companies.

I'm launching an investigation.

I'm not so easily shocked these days, but it might actually be shocking that the vice president of the United States is as violently, smugly, publicly racist as he is.

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it.

Now it is their turn to show courage.

During a press conference, Marco Rubio was unusually energized, restless, with rapid speech, visible agitation, dilated pupils, excessive sweating, jaw tension, frequent sniffing, and an intense emotional presentation reflected in rigid posture and exaggerated gestures. ❄️⛷️☃️

“when did you, jd vance, apologize for being white” feels like a pretty natural question for the press to ask the vice president now

People are making this about trashiness, but it’s really about violence.

A UFC fight at the White House to mark our 250th would tidily symbolize the passing of the republic to a brutish state, a bloodthirsty society headed by a fascist movement.
they're serious about having a UFC fight at the White House

Perhaps the vice president should have considered utilizing the services of the vast law-enforcement apparatus at his disposal, rather than googling conspiracy theories on the Internet.
JD Vance: "I remember watching every video of the assassination looking for clues, trying to understand what happened. I tried to hide my friend and that terrible bullet hitting him, but I would try to look around. I stayed up all night for many nights in a row researching every conspiracy theory."

Wow: Overt, unapologetic Christian nationalism from the Vice President here.

Even Trump has stopped short of saying something this explicit on the topic while President.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

I was initially shocked by this quote ... and then I remember that he recently announced -- at another Turning Point event!! -- that he wanted his Hindu wife to convert to Catholicism.
