the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

Time to correct this corruption. Checks and balances.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Trump will be guest of honor at the “nerd prom,” with journalists serving as suck-ups

The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press.
Cancel the damn dinner.

I know he is demented and degenerate and mostly pretty dumb too. But Pope Leo is weak on crime is one of the funniest things a politician has ever said.

Screengrab of skeet (poster's name deliberately cut off): "I'm the only one not enthusiastic about this moment. There is hell on earth throughout our planet; man hasn't did enough to improve the lives of human beings. Starvation, homelessness, corruption, hate, denial of basic needs only to destroy the universe to be the first. It shouldn't be this way!"

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Do you know any U.S. Senators? Oh, wait …

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

DC journalists have a golden opportunity.

Just say something like "since they will be honoring an avowed enemy of free speech and a free press, I will not be attending the Correspondents' Association dinner this year."

It's telling how many will not, even when handed to them on a silver platter.

AP’s former CEO destroyed McClatchy newspapers when CEO there, overpaying for K-R.

@apnews.com’s current CEO: Hold my beer. I will destroy it all.
