“Intellectual diversity”=Having your own invented, unfounded and untrue facts.

Gillian Brockell @gbrockell.bsky.social · 6h

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 6h

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

The underlying plans — and Trump's "policy" aims — are clearly to make this a normal thing, but Judges Breyer Immergut, Perry, Graber, Rovner, Hamilton, and St. Eve have all rejected the Trump admin's efforts or, at least, rejected DOJ's effort to stay a TRO blocking troop deployment pending appeal.

America's nuclear war plan in the 1960s was utter madness. It still is.

We rarely consider the dangers these days, but our existence depends on it.

It’s been too long since i faced the rapid-fire questioning of @alfranken.bsky.social but I think I acquitted myself! We went through a panoramic tour of the legal landscape. As always, fun and informative, and I held my own . . .for a change.

uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.
Where is the money going?

what? There's no naval shipyard in Philadelphia at all, let alone one that can handle the specialized needs of submarines, or of building nuclear propulsion systems.

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Only one single person — the hero filming — took any sort of action. Everybody else just keeps walking, pretending not to see a screaming woman being dragged away. This is so incredibly Nazi Germany.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This. Also:

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.

2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.

3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.
