The anti-free-speech head of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, is threatening to punish news outlets that publish polls showing Trump's deep unpopularity.
We are sliding into a dictatorship, and it would be helpful if major media would do their duty and warn the public.
In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)
That Vivek Ramaswamy ad drives home the point that Republican politicians think rape – even the rape of children – is no big deal. That disgusting ad is fully consistent with Republicans covering up the Epstein files.
There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.
Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over?
Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data
And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID
If a foreign leader in, say, the United Kingdom or Germany gave batshit crazy speeches featuring comments about a political ally’s ass, the New York Times would write a big story about the leader’s mental state. But when it happens in the U.S., the Times doesn’t.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
I’m no medical professional, but even I know Trump is mentally unfit. Other journalists know it too, but they shy away from the issue.
In this installment of my Stop the Presses newsletter, I assess Trump based on a psychiatry group’s 14 warning signs. The takeaway: He needs help, not power.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances.

Here's evidence that the New York Times knows how to write sharp, direct, truthful headlines, and if they're going to start doing that, I'm all for it.
What’s the point of a president swearing to uphold the Constitution if the Supreme Court grants them immunity for violating it through official acts?🇺🇸
Trump and Hegseth still haven't admitted that the US military massacred 120 Iranian schoolgirls and 26 teachers in a missile strike at the start of the war. At one point, Trump claimed Iran blew up its own school despite overwhelming evidence that the US did it.
Lying murderers run our government.
Russia has not only provided intelligence support to Iran but, as it turns out, has also supplied missiles to the Iranians. (Bloomberg News)
Americans were killed by Iranian attacks using these weapons.
