What would happen if we no longer had Vance and Graham and the rest of the dregs on the Sunday shows? I’d rather hear just about anything than these weak spineless little liars spewing out hate every Sunday morning 🤷‍♀️

I just went to the @propublica.org site. They won a Pulitzer Prize in 2025 for their work in Public Service for this article. (And other awards in general.) I wonder how many Pulitzer Prizes Benny Johnson won? Or is there a special award for Russian propagandists?

propublica.orgLife of the MotherWhen the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, doctors warned that women would die, but lawmakers who passed state abortion bans didn’t listen. The worst consequences are now becoming clear.

@propublica.org is one of the few remaining sources for investigative journalism they haven't wrecked with oligarch takeover so the facts it reveals must be ignored by fascists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It's a small thing, but I think journalists need to respond with a lot more condescension when pols try to get away with "I haven't seen it." "Wow -- that kind of widespread mortgage fraud in your own admin seems like it would concern you if you thought it were serious to indict her over it."

"but it's a left wing..." "Answer the question. Can. You. read? Okay, good. Now, are you saying these three cabinet members are falsely represented? That their mortgages were not gained by misrepresenting their residences?" Etc

We really need to stop airing all the interviews with all the people who are destroying the USA. Have the interviews. But only quote them so expose the the bs. But stop airing all the hate and lies

Why is he treated like a normal person that would reveal anything insightful in an interview? He is not trustworthy and having him on national news programs is useless. Nothing is gained by allowing him to propagandize to a large audience.

Why would a lawyer pretend they haven't read something, only to then dismiss the claims as false? Does he believe that attacking the messenger absolves the Trump administration from any responsibility for illegality or corruption?

Hey JD, show me where ProPublica has ever had to issue a FULL retraction of an article because false. Answer : you can’t , none exist Like any paper, they issue corrections, but substance ALWAYS remains. High quality investigative journalism shining light on corruption is why you hate them.

Would be great if George or #ThisWeek staff would have the article ready and give him or any guest time to read it. It’s SUCH an easy out when they say “I haven’t seen it” or “I haven’t read it…” Why does the media continue to give these hucksters an out?

All the regime roadies who are named by ProPublica should sue. They won't, of course, because not one of them would ever be able to get through discovery and depos without more misdeeds being exposed. Just like Peepaw Trump.

How the FUCK is it the Sean Duffy has not been arrested for mortgage fraud in connection with his two primary residence mortgages (one of which is on New Jersey)? The NJ state AG and whatever local prosecutor is at issue need to convene a grand jury and indict Sean Duffy right fucking NOW!!'

Where are the blue state prosecutors arresting those cabinet members and perp walking them into jail? Are you telling me there is not one blue state prosecutor with jurisdiction of some kind over these cases? Get on it now assholes! You have to deter MAGAT abuse of the law by doing the same damn

thing as they are doing until they get the message and knock it off. Otherwise *you* are failing your duty to uphold the law. This is the norm now so follow it until it changes. MAGATs cannot get the idea that their abuse of the law is cost free . Tow can lay this game - so fucking get on it now!

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog S: Do you dispute the facts they reported? VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. Manchu Scout: 𝗝𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗦! If 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 is the best Princeton can do, Princeton grads ought to get their money back!

His m.o is always the same 1. Outright reject and double down on his alternative facts. 2. Gets reminded of the evidence. Immediately says he's not seen them. 3. Deflects and blames the democrats.

When you cannot argue on the facts, attack the messenger. MAGA Republicans all day long. #Lies

First response is to try to delegitimize one of the few remaining investigative journalism centers as a “left-wing blog”, and the second response is the usual denial of awareness to avoid being held to having a meaningful response. Everything they do is performative. They never engage in good faith.

Stephanopoulos is always weak on research. He should have corrected VP Maybelline. Co-founders of Pro Publica are Paul Steiger (former managing editor of WSJ) and Marion Sandler, a banker and philanthropist, who was co-CEO of Golden West Financial Corp, for 43 years

Wish this guy would just stop pummeling everyone else with the misplaced energy of his self-loathing. See, also: Johnson, Mike; Thiel*, Peter. *Bro, you're out and RICH a.f. - enough with the antiChrist, Apocalypse self-flagellation. JFC... 🤦‍♀️
