I'm no longer going to be at Twitter, so I decided to start new here at Bluesky. I'm hoping to reconnect with my old followers who moved here from the other place and to engage with new like-minded people.

I'm not sure that a journalist using plain and accurate language is newsworthy, but here we are

The job of Faux News and the entire right wing media is to prop up Donald Trump. It's just like North Korean state run media.

Status@status.news

MAGA Media’s praise for Trump’s disastrous meeting with Putin shows it’s about propping up Trump and spinning his failures—no matter what. More in Status: www.status.news/p/trump-puti...

This could end up very badly given what we know of Rules on Use of Force (RUF) for Guard in DC. And very different training regimens compared to local police. Wall Street Journal reporting: "National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days."

We all knew job reports under this criminal would be a total disaster and it's typical for Trump to conceal the truth of his failures. A successful president like Joe Biden welcomed job reports because it showcased his great achievement of being the greatest jobs president in history.

The Trump administration is floating ending monthly job reports because they’re so fucking bad right now.

Ronny announces a ballroom for his right wing buddies, but no relief for his own constituents to help with their grocery, insurance, and medical bills that continues to soar thanks to Criminal Donald Trump.

Ronny is thanking Trump for the ballroom now. The culting is strong with this one.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law thanks to the perseverance of civil rights activists. Today, our sacred right to vote remains under attack. We must protect our democracy and honor those who risked everything by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

The President of the United States is openly conspiring with a convicted child sex trafficker serving a 20-year prison sentence. Maxwell is a monster. This is as low a point as America has reached this century. Everyone knows Maxwell has been bribed to exculpate Trump—everyone.

Ghislaine Maxwell completed a second day of questioning with the DOJ, where she shared information on about “100 different people” in connection with Epstein.

Sending my best to a true public servant and fellow Midwesterner, Governor Tony Evers, on his announced retirement. I saw up close his commitment to doing the right thing for Wisconsinites - and countless lives are better today because he stepped up to serve.

New reporting just blew a hole in Hegseth’s story on Signalgate. The war plans he shared on Signal came straight from a SECRET email. Directly contradicts what he and the Trump Admin told the public. Hegseth is the least competent Secretary of Defense ever. He should resign.

🚨HOLY SHIT. It’s all coming out: Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of eighteen?" Jeffrey Epstein: "Though I'd like to answer that question, I'm going to assert my 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendment rights."

The Wall Street Journal is turning on Trump over Epstein. JD Vance had a secret meeting with Rupert Murdoch a month ago. The anti-democracy tech billionaires (e.g., Peter Thiel) are the reason that JD Vance is VP. We’re not saying they’re replacing Trump with Vance… but we’re not NOT saying that.

The Justice Department told Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files. Republicans have shut down Congress to go on the August Recess in the middle of July to avoid a vote on the files. Now MAGA Mike is saying that Biden may have “doctored” the files. He is circling the drain.
