CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Immunologist here. I second Krutika’s statement-the flu vax does not “injure” your immune system, in fact it strengthens your response to the flu virus.

RFKjr has no clue what he is talking about and needs to STFU

I ask you, my dear, by your kindness, to look at my child for one minute. Please publish for me that he needs food, medicine and milk. Quote for me, perhaps someone, by your grace, will look at him. I have great hope in you, my dear.🙏🙏

From the National Guard to deportations, Trump has suffered numerous legal setbacks from people he put on the bench.

Judges appointed by Trump keep ruling against him. He’s not happy about it.

The first reporter to stand up and ask maga Republican conservatives, 'what the heck is wrong with you?' should win a Pulitzer Prize.

This might be an excellent time for the MSM to rise up & start REAL reporting.

Right now only @msnbc.com is on it.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social is hammering it. @chrislhayes.bsky.social is all over it. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is so broken-hearted he appears shattered each opening.

MORE MSM!

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 16h

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.
