@huffpost.com editor in chief @wps.bsky.social on Trump and the White House Correspondents Dinner: "The idea of raising a glass to the power of journalism with him is at once ridiculous and embarrassing. Count us out." www.huffpost.com/entry/a-line...
And as we all know, no military was ever harmed by disease

Trump saying he would’ve won Vietnam quickly is especially rich coming from the guy whose battle plan at the time was “bone spurs.” Authoritarians always imagine war as easy when other people are the ones who have to die.
The Florida Democrat, under indictment on charges of stealing federal funds, resigned just before the House Ethics Committee was set to hold a hearing on whether to recommend she be expelled.
So nice to see politicians who aren’t insane…
Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Cool.
So lots of soldiers living in close quarters will be getting sick.
That sounds like a good plan.

I hope it torments Carlson to his grave. The worst part is that he knew what he was doing. He happily traded his morals for money and influence, and now that things are falling apart, he wants to disassociate from the mess he helped create.

The Roberts court rules against the EPA so frequently and so energetically that one almost wonders if they wish they could abolish it altogether. trib.al/2es0wpT
In an interview on CNBC this morning, President Trump pondered what would have happened had he been the commander-in-chief during earlier wars. Said the President, "I would have won Vietnam very quickly."
If reporters won’t take an ethical stand to defend their own profession, what WILL they take an ethical stand on?
“Dear White House Reporters: Again, WTF?
Dinner with this president, really?”

Idiot.
I interviewed my pal @oliviamesser.bsky.social for the Deadliners Newsletter about journalism in the age of AI, the mistakes national media makes in Texas, and her mission @thebarbedwire.com to build newsrooms that actually serve the communities they cover.

Margaret Sullivan, a must, as always.
She includes the quote below (from Marty Baron), followed by this:
"Media owners who substitute political goal posts for news values find refuge in sophistry. They lay claim to ethics; instead, they subvert them. …. 1/3
Hosting Donald Trump at a dinner celebrating the free press is like The Society of Anti-axe Murders hosting Lizzie Borden.
As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
Interesting piece by @abradschwartz.bsky.social on the beginnings of CBS News Radio (which ends next month after nearly 100 years):
“How a prison fire and a charismatic inmate revealed a waiting audience for compelling radio news on CBS.”

This is such a great idea for a local news outlet to undertake. People have lots of questions, help them get answers. Rinse, repeat.
If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
Oh no!
“Cancel the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
An event celebrating the free press should not spotlight Donald Trump, the biggest threat to the free press.”
