BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

just absolutely insane that this is what Trump accused Biden of doing, and now he's done it himself.

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks

Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

With the exception of Buncombe, the other Helene-ravaged west NC counties that Vice President Trump has just flipped off are republican strongholds. Or were, if they have the good sense God gave a goose. He doesn't give a shit about you unless you're a billionaire. #ncpol

If you were wondering how the recent efforts to claw back funding for CPB might impact local journalism and radio and tv programming, this is a good explainer. WUNC is just one of 1000+ locally-operated public media outlets across the United States. And they are all non-profit.

It seems clear that the U.S. has destroyed something pretty valuable in forcing Canada to look elsewhere for trusted allies. And I'm simply left asking: To what end? I see no gains to the U.S. from aggravating Canadians. Pointlessly destructive.

I’m also a little sad Cadeau is transferring while noting he might’ve been the kind of guy to leave anyway, NIL era or no. In hindsight, he’s been giving off some Larry Drew vibes this year.
