SCOOP: In Feb, federal agencies "lost" many #FOIA requests but you probably had no idea. It turns out that the FOIAs disappeared due to an "insider threat attack" by 2 employees at a software company who were previously convicted of hacking into the State Dept 🧵 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

The military operation came a day after Trump concluded his Middle East trip without a visit to Israel. There had been hope that his visit could increase the chances of a ceasefire deal or the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza. religionnews.com/2025/05/19/i...

Not for the first time...remember the 5,000 Taliban terrorists he unleashed on Afghanistan...unilaterally, without consulting the government OR coordinating with our own military. We STILL don't know the full back story on THAT deal.

I am trying to cut back for a while on "What's Wrong With the Media, Chapter 4 Bazillion." But this CJR piece about/with @pkrugman.bsky.social is too important not to read Congrats to PK on speaking out and Charles Kaiser and @columjournreview.bsky.social on the story. www.cjr.org/analysis/pau...

Hear me out: I can anticipate every skeptical response to plug of PBS Newshour, below. But in terms of a news operation that tries *every single day* to "see things steady and see them whole," it is clearly an instructive example. Rather than a cautionary one, like many other MSM outlets.

In light of Jimmy Carter's passing I have been thinking a lot about the power of a single person - for good or for ill. In that vein, Garland and McConnell deserve disdain. AND Synema and Manchin. Those two alone blocked "Build Back Better" for their own selfish agendas. Oh what they have cost us!

Trump claims Greenland is needed for self defense. Hmmmm, from who? Answer: Russia So maybe instead let’s just make sure Russia is defeated in Ukraine? Makes sense

There's something missing in coverage of the religious faith of the late Jimmy Carter. My take: "What Kind of Baptist Was Jimmy Carter?" wordandway.org/2025/01/08/w...

This is a time of darkness. I am reminded of the words from a young woman at an event with Rev Barber. It is, she said, the darkness of the tomb or the darkness of the womb. We NEED a rebirth of REAL patriotism. Midwives always advise. There IS a time to "just breathe" but also a time to PUSH.
