Legacy media strikes again. Obama's "Cheesecake Factory" jibe is front page news at the Times. Fresh allegations about Trump and Epstein raping women together? Not so much. saltypolitics.substack.com/p/what-the-a...

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

While lamenting a suspected arson at Hitler's mountain vacation home, Benny Johnson attacks Barack Obama: “...in our modern era” Obama “is the worst leader in human history — no one has caused more damage to the earth”

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

“We don’t ride bicycles in Iowa,” Joe Mitchell said to President Trump during a GOP campaign rally. Iowa’s roughly 900,000 cyclists, many of whom have participated in an annual cycling tour that’s made the state synonymous with biking, weren’t amused.

In Opinion The investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat and a Somali immigrant, “is a chilling example of the federal government using its immense power to silence a critic,” the editorial board writes. “It is an affront to free speech, the rule of law and American ideals.”

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

JD Vance: "We made English profeishhincy mandatory"

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok has shut down the promotional account for Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary. www.theverge.com/tech/1013453...

These are all one story

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

UPDATE: Katie Zacharia has granted her first TV interview. It’s with Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec

It is also a bit too on the nose that she made her TV debut as press secretary on Pizzagate Jack's show considering she repeatedly peddled the unhinged right-wing conspiracy theory about a cannibalistic pedophile ring. popular.info/p/new-white-...

Also, it is pretty telling that Kate Zacharia's first television interview as White House press secretary is with MAGA propagandist and noted Pizzagate conspiracist Jack Posobiec.

Meta’s invite-only program for content creators has accounts promoting white supremacy, neo-Nazi ideologies and histories of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.

Not something you see every day: I asked Anthony Constantino, the Republican running in #NY21, what the biggest city in his district is. He told me to ask Grok (it's Rome, population 32k).

One ICE official said the timing of the raid on Ilhan Omar’s home was “politically motivated.”

"They don't want to go fishing anymore. I don't blame them actually" -- Trump "jokes" that people don't want to go fishing because they might get murdered by the US military

NEW Miami Herald: Two women have filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing Matt Gaetz and two others of participating in an alleged sex trafficking scheme involving young women, drugs and traveling across state lines. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from

ESPN producer Nicole Noren quits over sports broadcasting's increasingly predatory promotion of gambling: “I’m not going to work for a gambling company and have blood on my hands.”

Meghan McCain does irony

Ugh, just saw a Hoka sneakers commercial using Bob Dylan’s Shelter from the Storm. The guy got The Nobel Prize in Literature- let’s use his music to sell sneakers.

The Omar story today and the Talarcio story yesterday are the same story of rat-fucking your opponents before an election. Except now the government does it, out in the open.

Trump just fell for a FAKE Denzel Washington endorsement, sharing a fabricated quote claiming the Oscar-winning actor called him the smartest and bravest person he’d ever met. Even more embarrassing? The exact same fake endorsement has been attributed to Matthew McConaughey and Mick Jagger.

The smear campaign against Talarico is a byproduct of plutocrats dominating social media. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

And yet, every single Democratic member of Congress and every progressive organization (except @indivisible.org) still uses X as their primary method of breaking news. The pro-democracy movement really needs to boycott X.

Ilhan Omar: 'Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced'

YouTube is currently monetizing a video spreading this false claim about James Talarico.

This report from the New York Federal Reserve just found that without Trump’s tariffs, the cost of many everyday items would have gone DOWN in the last year. Instead, as we all know, prices have shot up. Trump is choosing to make your life more expensive.

An irony of this era is that Trump’s opponents and Trump share the same exact opinions about Trump supporters bsky.app/profile/acyn...

New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia appears to have been a follower of QAnon figure Jon Herold (known online as "Patel Patriot"), whose "Devolution" conspiracy theory — which claimed Trump was secretly still in power — was popular within the QAnon community after Biden took office.

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

When the Yankees get eliminated

This is the vice president's guy, no? This should be every headline, it should lead every newscast and EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT IT.

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning
