This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Reporter @owillis.bsky.social saw a too-perfect quote from a Black voter -- ID'd as an AI worker -- in an NYT quoteboard. So he did checked -- and voila, turns out the guy is a flak for Houston Young Republicans. NYT stealth-edited the guy's bio the next day. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

People struggle to grasp that GOP Senators installed degenerate, corrupt, incompetent, unstable and wildly unfit leaders to important cabinet posts because GOP senators support degenerate, corrupt, incompetent, unstable and wildly unfit people in positions of power over others.

Trump's emerging alignment with Russia's authoritarian kleptocracy is advancing in Europe as the US turns against democracies and sells out Ukraine. There's a complement at home, where Trump has just made it easier for Russia to manipulate and subvert US politics. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Worth emphasizing that this cartoon was published by opponents of Jackson, and it was intended as criticism. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, who refers to himself as a monarch.
