FCC chair Brendan Carr, who has threatened to revoke the licenses of broadcast outlets whose Iran war coverage displeases him, plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a guest this Saturday.
The suck-up media will never learn: When you invite fascists to dinner, they devour you.

RFK Jr.'s "Re-Parenting" Brain Worm Strikes Again He floated stealing Black kids from their families. Then lied about saying it. Then Terri Sewell read him his own quote.

I’m just imagining if Joe Biden had promised middle class Americans checks, didn’t deliver them and then just never mentioned it again.

Pretty sure Fox News would be talking about it 12 hours a day AT LEAST.

There is no worse form of journalism right now like the: "I just spoke to President Trump” crowd. Thirsty, thirsty reporters - who become stenographers for the trump regime. gross.

Honored to be included as one of the good guys in @markjacob.bsky.social‘s latest Stop the Presses newsletter. Calling out media complicity in specific terms - not in “blame the media” generalities - is very important. So is acknowledging good journalism. Kudos to Mark for this, and all he does:

My god. You magnificent bastards did it. An amazing day for America.

I mean…at least put on some of those swirly hypnotizing glasses, my dude. Nobody’s buying this nonsense.

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

Truth Social post: "Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did. I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future! President DJT"

Attending this year's White House Correspondents Association dinner is a decision to honor this man.

I love that Trump is bragging about the U.S. military subduing an Iranian cargo ship. Great job! The largest military in the world somehow disabled an unarmed, slow ship that was carrying stuff. Interesting flex.

"Between the Trump administration and the pope, we have one of the most respected and revered leaders in the world and we have the Trump administration," writes columnist @rexhuppke.bsky.social. bit.ly/4cS6oow

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

Thanks, friend!

Trump may face-plant – again – on firing Fed Chair Powell | Opinion Every word Trump and his top advisers say about the Federal Reserve chair bolsters Powell's defenses in court against this illegitimate investigation.

Not only will Trump flop in his effort to cast out Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, but he may get the exact opposite of what he wants – more time with Powell in power. My USA Today column:

Of note…if the Uberballroom is going to be effectively a fortified military complex and hospital, it AIN’T costing $400 million. Maybe some corporate schmucks are paying part of the cost of the “ballroom,” but you better bet we are paying for everything else, and it will be A LOT. And not needed.

Lies from a "religious leader" to protect a corrupt president.

A World Cup in Trump's America is insane. How this fan is coping. | Will Bunch From price gouging to travel bans, the U.S.-centered World Cup is becoming obscene. What should soccer fans do?

For 30 years, I've wanted the World Cup to come back to the USA in the worst way..and it has. Insane price gouging. Travel bans and ICE fears. The FIFA Peace Prize. Dropping bombs on a competing nation.

Then I had an idea for how to bring back the joy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/worl...

Maybe Republicans are right. Has the pope even read the Bible? | Opinion Is it just me or does it seem like Pope Leo XIV won't stop talking about religion? But is the head of the global Catholic Church really an expert?

Opinion: Pope Leo is saying it was unjust to start a war with Iran. Trump, Vance, Hannity and Johnson are saying to the pope, “Stop being so darn preachy.”

A Real Delivery DoorDash’s head of public affairs said on Tuesday that “no one is claiming it was a real delivery.” You wouldn't know it from the media coverage.

DoorDash's head of public affairs said "no one is claiming it was a real delivery." I found a few people who were claiming that: Reuters, ABC, CBS, the AP, Fox, Newsmax, The Hill, the New York Post, and CSPAN, for starters. www.readtpa.com/p/a-real-del...

Death Doula is the name of my thrash metal band.

I’m JD Vance, and I think I know a little more about transubstantiation than you, Mr. Pope.

Look, Pope, you need to be very careful when talking about things like proper Pope-hat wearing and praying and handing out little crackers and stuff. Stay in your lane.

'Be careful.' Vance issues warning to Pope Leo when discussing theology Vice President JD Vance waded into the back-and-forth between Trump and the Pope the war with Iran and the president's controversial Jesus post.

Love to see JD Vance Catholic-man-splaining theology to...the Pope.

Not really a super big fan of cringe comedy, but it turns out my appetite for JD Vance humiliation is voracious.

Still good seats available for the "JD Vance Steps on Rakes 2026 World Tour." 🤘

Not quite. But close.

Just forced myself to watch five minutes of JD Vance at a TPUSA event in Georgia, and I'll say this: Aside from being a manipulative weirdo with no moral center, he is one of the worst retail politicians I think I've ever seen. He just oozes insincerity.
