If this all were true, why not sign an Interim Agreement so A) your talent can go back to work and B) you can use your influence in the industry to show the big studios the benefits of also signing an interim, or even fully agreeing to SAG’s terms and ending the strike? Y’all must think we’re stupid

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked, the insurance giant decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

It is indefensible for legacy outlets to claim they “first reported” things independent journalists or less traditional outlets had first, which they obviously saw. It’s very common, WP does it but NYT is particularly notorious. And it’s not just tacky, it’s making an objectively false statement.

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

This is key: If we want to beat Trump, we must talk about impeachment until it gathers public support and becomes a Big Thing. Failing to talk about it, as Dems think is smart, means it will never become a Big Thing.

So the thing about a good lawyer is that they’ll make their client actually sit down and tell them what they want (or alternatively, what they can get) and Trump hates that shit, so he fired everybody who would do it and this is the result.

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

One path forward for a Hochul crew nervous about Cuomo’s return would be to shovel their massive amounts of money towards driving up his negatives, which this poll suggests would be very effective.

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Walk into the hardware store and you buy either a tarp or a canvas drop cloth, but make sure it has grommets. Also get some large zip ties. Paint TRUMP TAKE EGG on the tarp. Grab a couple friends, leave your phones at home, put on hoodies and bandanas, and get 'er done.
