One of the oddest — and distinct — attributes of modern GOP politics is the sheer confidence so many Republicans have tearing down things they fundamentally and clearly do not understand at all.
oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

This is obviously just blatant racebaiting, but I feel honor bound to remind everyone that New York City is one of the safest places in the country.
Trump: "In major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, mothers can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot, or killed, or raped, or anything. Women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train tracks."

Menacing the free press during a speech at the Department of Justice at which the AG proclaims her fealty. Open authoritarianism.
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

Hail to the thief. We're entering a golden age for scammers and financial predators, with two of the biggest in the world running things now.
Yikes, Russ Vought, running CFPB, dropped a big enforcement case against a sleazy lender, claiming he was stopping "weaponized" consumer protection. Turns out, even X users knew the outfit is sleazy, and corrected him. Musk took it down, but not before this screenshot.

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.
This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
