I always told my journalists, there aren’t two sides to a lie. Yes, you should be non-partisan, but not neutral. Journalists must be biased in favor of the truth and facts. Biased in favor of democracy itself. We protect the press so the press can protect democracy. Let’s do that

Interesting point by @stengel: The only 2 countries in the world that have a current leader's birthday as a holiday are the US and North Korea! Having reported repeatedly from North Korea, I can also verify that White House propaganda now sometimes resembles North Korea's.

Just to note, other than canceling the two holidays that are important to Black Americans as national park days, the only other country that has their current leader's birthday as a national holiday is North Korea.

ICE agents handcuff a US citizen and drag her from her car as she screams that she is a US citizen. Watch this braiding of the Trump administration's cruelty and incompetence.

“Focusing on the shipwrecked is a distraction insofar as it suggests everything else preceding and after that strike was all legitimate,” said Ryan Goodman, a New York University law professor and former Pentagon lawyer. “Even under a law of armed conflict, they were all

While Venezuela is not a fentanyl-or-cocaine producing country according to the UN, the president of the United States has touted an illegal land invasion of that nation while pardoning the former Honduran president who a US jury convicted of protecting the flow of cocaine to the

What concessions from Putin has Witkoff secured?

Department of Defense Law of War Manual (2015), § 18.3.3. “A service member has a duty to disobey a manifestly unlawful order.”

The Founders "knew that order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination; that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government." —Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Gift link to NYT article about the corruption of DOJ. One former insider says “I wouldn’t even call it the Justice Department anymore. It’s become Trump’s personal law firm. … [T]he American people should be enraged.” https://t.co/QATgk0iChC

#BREAKING: Psaki: "ProPublica published quite a scoop about Trump DHS Secretary @Sec_Noem...that in any other era, would be a career-ending scandal...she has directed more than $200 million taxpayer dollars into tv ads to promote her work at DHS...since March, we've known that

My dad fought in WWII. He never talked about it much. He grew up in Brooklyn, the oldest son of an immigrant father. He served with young men from all over the country. His service made him an American and made him believe in the American dream. I think his generation would say

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history. That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

“If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted”

"Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.” ~Pope Leo (being diplomatic by adding “I don’t know”) https://t.co/pwrQqChOt4

If this were a metaphor or a satire, it would be spot on. But it's not. Even Caesar had his image on only one side. But his coin did have the legend, CAESAR DICT PERPETVO (“Caesar, dictator in perpetuity”). Heads he wins, tails we lose.

“Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, the pope reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". (Luke 10:25-37) https://t.co/UhMG8wPYpE

"If tonight teaches us anything, it's that convention has held us back. We have bowed at the altar of caution, and we have paid a mighty price. Too many working people cannot recognize themselves in our party & too many among us have turned to the right for answers to why they’ve

Shhhh. Don't let them hear you say that. Also please don't tell them that redrawing Texas CDs based on the assumption that Hispanic voters will vote the way they did in 2024 could become a disaster for them.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
