Hegseth’s entire plan to modernize the military was basically carried out to get rid of “woke,” to purge anyone who didn’t meet his Christian warrior image, and to sunset rules of engagement that might prevent the killing of civilians. trib.al/LvdNDrH
If #SNL isn’t planning to air the Dolly Parton episode this weekend, they’re missing a huge opportunity. @nbcsnl-mirror.bsky.social.

Incredibly disturbing: "Researchers considered every former N.F.L. player who died from 2016 to 2021. There were 878. The study’s main finding was simple math: At least 215 of those 878 former players — 24.5 percent — had C.T.E. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/u...

Hard to fathom how NY Times thinks it should be taken seriously as a 'newspaper of record' when it has devoted so much space to sanewashing a fascist president and his enablers.
NY Times headline: “Blanche Is Confirmed as Attorney General After Overcoming G.O.P. Concerns” My rewrite: “Blanche Is Confirmed as Attorney General After G.O.P. Shows Utter Lack of Concern Over $1.8B Slush Fund, Epstein Files and Bogus Charges Against Trump Enemies”

This is a story about the President and several of his hand-picked appointees all committing crimes and blatantly lying to the public while stealing public funds and abusing the criminal justice system, but the NYTimes describes the situation like they're recapping a soap opera.
Another example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...
Lobbying from southern states caused what was once accurately known as "The Slaveholders Rebellion" to be called "The Civil War" or, "The War Between The States." By portraying participants in the Jan 6 insurrection as "patriots," Trump's trying to replicate that BS www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...

Good for @deadlinewh.bsky.social for calling out the #WHCD. It’s a disgusting spectacle and it’s important to use the #MSNow megaphone to admit it to viewers. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone responds/defends the event and the suck-ups who attend.
Air Force 1 wasn't impressive enough for Trump - it would cost $400m to upgrade the fleet. But then the "free" plane from Qatar came along The latest total estimate: $5.1 billion for the entire modernization effort, now slated to be completed in 2028 — www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/u...
