An Extra-Embarrassing White House Correspondents’ Dinner Why is Donald Trump breaking bread with the “enemy of the people”?

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner “has always been a bit of an embarrassment”—but this year’s gala figures to be more awkward and embarrassing than usual, Paul Farhi argues.

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

This is another interesting story today over at @wired.com

More than half of men ages 18-49 (52%) now say they have an active sports betting account with an online sportsbook like DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, or BetMGM.

RIP Rupie Edwards. Responsible for the most revolutionary dubwise single to ever make the Top 20. Nobody had heard empty space like that before on a chart hit. Completely confused the audience on TOTP.

Look, we can say Trump is firing Bondi bc she didn't prosecute enough of Trump's enemies. But it is also the case that Trump is going to fire Bondi bc she (with Kash Patel's able assistance) fucked up the effort to bury the allegations that he raped and assaulted a teenager.

The 1970s....our Renaissance youtube.com/watch?v=HQZB...

The Mueller Report was one of the worst of many mainstream media failures. They just reported William Barr's spin which enabled Trump to claim 'exoneration', without adding that Barr's spin was bullshit.

It's all over now Colm

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane:

The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...
