"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

EXACTLY!

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Lame-duck washed dead-ender desperately seeking relevance.

So hard to believe that Republican senators were hornswoggled by Jr. and believed all his promises.

Health insurance companies have lost the trust of the American people, and for good reason. They can begin to restore it by ensuring that access to vaccines remains covered and ignoring the quackery and utter nonsense likely to come from Kennedy’s new vaccine committee.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

DO NOT VISIT THE UNITED STATES. IT IS NOT SAFE‼️ "While vacationing in New York City, Javiera Montero—a Chilean woman visiting with her 12-year-old daughter—was tackled and arrested by NYPD and ICE in the middle of Times Square." thetonymichaels.substack.com/p/ice-and-ny...

I made Los Angelenos with big hearts, loud voices, and absolutely zero patience for fascists.

I guess I am cynical but when a powerful politician abruptly resigns for an exciting private sector opportunity, I usually think the opportunity is “trying not to go to prison for what I did to that 14-year-old in a Motel 6.”

“This isn't law and order. This isn't making our country safer or fixing our border. And it isn't leadership.”

If you're a Democratic elected official who is insisting that law enforcement attacking civilians in L.A. is a "distraction" and we shouldn't take the bait, I'm going to briefly assume you're saying that in good faith and ask you this in response: What is your plan for ICE kidnapping people?

The Felon wants to start a civil war. Prove me wrong.

The Trump administration is revoking guidance directing hospitals to provide emergency abortions to women to stabilize their health or save their lives, at the same time miscarriages are increasingly being targeted by prosecutors in states where abortion is banned. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
