What’s the point if a “press briefing” when every member of the “press” in that room is handpicked to support Trump? It’s ridiculous for the networks to even cover this nonsense.

They just go ahead and say the quiet part out loud now. They don’t even care. Of course he’s wrong on the facts. This guy is far more dangerous than his boss. He actually believes this bullshit.

JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

Maybe the idea that isolated, young white males living in a culture that glorifies violence, amid an ascendant political movement that specifically celebrates the use of young white male violence, will finally be recognized as a problem for everybody, as long as NBC doesn't fire everyone who says it

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Tell me again that this isn’t a cult.

Arpineh Masihi, a Trump supporter and Iranian immigrant, was targeted by ICE and taken from her home on June 30. Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, told a local news station that even though he misses his wife, he still supports Trump and won’t take his MAGA flag off their house while she’s detained. 🙄

This is the kind of writing that restores my faith in journalism. Such an interesting read.

If 55.6 points per game is the highest average ever by an American high school basketball player, how do we know nothing at all about Finell White? How does someone with such a mark vanish in time? It’s impossible not to wonder what-if. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/607...

"Children, I want this to be an important lesson to you. If you do bad things, like break the law—even a lot—you are going to have to pay the consequences: nothing. Well, other than getting your job back. Because those are the rules in America, a land that cherishes justice."
