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...

We sometimes get a couple V16s at cars and coffee.

Both were Russian FSB operations. Same for the near-miss Scottish independence vote that was their practice run.

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

"Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told me she saw 1,500 detainees housed in cages at the site, a cage area that smelled like urine, and one cage configuration where detainees appear to have no option but to go to the bathroom in front of everyone."

Epstein survivor says it's not too late to expose what happened at his New Mexico ranch — NBC News Rachel Benavidez, who accused Jeffrey Epstein of assaulting her at his isolated Zorro Ranch, wants his enablers to be held accountable.

10+ survivors. 20+ years. Zero accountability.

Authorities never fully investigated Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.

Rachel Benavidez is still waiting and still speaking out for justice for survivors!

It’s not too late.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​!

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

He had 25 years of practice submitting in China. Doing it here too was apparently easy.

OK I laughed way too hard at this!

The longer the war, the more people will compare Trump's mental fitness to Biden's Despite his trying and trying, the results that ultimately matter have been identical.

Biden wasn’t insane. Nor was he demented. He was just old. However, that the Times is comparing Trump’s mental fitness to his suggests that the moneyed elites who see their interests reflected in the Times are getting worried.

They are finally catching up.

Officials ‘missed 99% of data’ before ending Covid vaccine recommendation, memos reveal US based Covid vaccine guidance for children and pregnant people on ideology instead of evidence, critics say

Upcoming Schumacher Short Film Features Homebuilt F1 Car - Jalopnik

"The Kaiser" centers on Schumacher's early seasons in F1, his unlikely 1991 debut as a Jordan substitute and his tenure at Benetton over the following years.

Guy just invented the trailer park?

Trump ran on deportations of “the worst of the worst.”

Instead, his masked agents are going after military families who are following the rules.

This is simply inhumane.

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Now, ask the LAPD what qualifies as a "crime" worthy of recording.

On other occasions the sites seem to forget that they are supposed to be masquerading as news media operations.

Al-Fassel, meanwhile, may not realize that its tweets are geotagged to Lutz, FL, a stone's throw from CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command.

Both sites appear to have been pretty sloppy about hiding their CENTCOM connection. Pishtaz News, for example, only follows one account on Instagram...

These Middle Eastern News Sites Are Actually U.S. Government Propaganda Operations Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News publish pro-U.S. coverage about the war on Iran and the Trump administration’s plan to redevelop Gaza.

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.
