And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

In addition to being illegal, unconstitutional and wrong, Trump's lawlessness is also an extraordinary abuse of power as we the people have to pay his legal bills and ultimately for the damages his harms will bring. He is legally and financially liable for nothing. Break laws, get sued, we pay.

Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board. “This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” That goes for everything else they’re trying to steal too. [washingtonpost.com]

HCR outlines with clarity the World crisis we have created. “The British tabloid The Daily Star interprets the changes in American politics differently. Its cover tomorrow features Vladimir Putin walking “PUTIN’S POODLE”: the president of the United States.

The bird flu outlook has only gotten worse Signs are pointing to a future flu pandemic, the keys to getting in front of it; a free flow of global data that can provide early warning and boosting the resources for widely testing and analyzing H5N1’s evolution. #MOG8 thebulletin.org/2025/02/the-...

If this worked, ever, those outlets would be able to point to one *single* example where accountability and the public good were served due to their “access” to Trump through the pool, despite his DIRECT CENSORSHIP of the most important media wire service. They can’t. Not even one time. Never once.
