He is admitting to his guilt

Are those the ones who played football in high school without a helmet?

lol! @maddow.bsky.social likens Washington reporters trying to discern meaning from what Trump says about the war to “if you were like reporting really intently on when your dog barks what words it sounded like.”

Trump’s statements on Iran increasingly contradict each other The president has made conflicting comments on questions both large and small related to the war.

WaPo takes note of Trump’s “oscillating claims” about the war, but avoids the obvious conclusions — that Trump is deranged, that he is unfit, and that he shouldn’t be in charge. This is an example of the normalization of the dangerously abnormal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is an embarrassing but not shocking indictment of legacy news media in the U.S.

There was a goose on the field at Wrigley, they played on

I just got fed the CBS Evening News feed on Twitter, and here are four of the stories they’re featuring tonight.

(In case you were wondering why their ratings are tanking amid a historic news cycle.)

Interesting @markjacob.bsky.social point here: Why not more stand-alone stories with heds like "Trump Is Dismantling Democracy"?

"Such a headline would be easy to support with facts that the NYT and other major media report in isolation every day. They’re simply afraid to hit the total button."

Chief Justice’s Wife Made $10M+ as Legal Recruiter: Report At least one of the firms reportedly had a case before Chief Justice Roberts.

The corruption is just stunning.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

“Yep, he’s terrible.”

"I love that he's being condescending to the Pope. That it's the Pope that needs to be careful with his rhetoric. Has he ever talked about Trump needing to be careful with his rhetoric? No. It's just the Pope."

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Those aren’t conspiracies. Those are facts

That might work for a couple of weeks because they grow so fast at that age!

Only men get their behavior downgraded to “locker room talk.”

This isn’t a post-apocalyptic movie scene.

This is what Israel is doing to South Lebanon.

Burning homes, markets, shops and civilian infrastructure — without justification or restraint.

Deliberate devastation. Pure terror.

And it’s all funded by U.S. tax dollars.

The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements.

The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

The IDF has confirmed that a photograph showing an Israeli soldier smashing the face of Jesus Christ in a statue in Lebanon is legitimate. This is not an isolated incident.

There is a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers and civilians spitting on Christians, spitting on churches, attacking

Once again, Trump is threatening to commit a war crime.

Definitely!
