Propublica is one of the best institutions of journalism around and our society would be way better if we could increase it at scale

Also Vance remains a shameless liar

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

Holy shit Matt Stoller is a public embarrassment. Anyone that follows @dieworkwear.bsky.social knows that he frequently promotes US-made manufacturers. Matt is a weird, lying asshole and it amazes me that people still give him a platform

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

Screenshot of text:

Not now but soon enough, there will be major stories about The Free Press being the creation of three female founders who constructed a hugely successful digital business out of whole cloth.

That’s what I don’t get. Other than being a stooge for billionaires, things she’s taken on include: “doctors who think vaccines are safe and effective.”

She’s one of the country’s biggest enablers of toxic, anti-vaccine bullshit.

Bari Weiss says she is cool working with people who would negate her own marriage.

And that’s not even the worst thing about her.

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 16h

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

I always liked Conor Lamb bc he was a normal, decent guy and he wore a freakin suit.

Fetterman gave off douche vibes from the jump.

kiwijohn.bsky.social @kiwijohn.bsky.social · 17h

We were suckered by Fetterman.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17h

Maria Bartiromo tries to reassure Fetterman: "You know, senator, what you just said, it's really shamefully on your colleagues. You feeling isolated -- that is absolutely outrageous. You are a breath of fresh air. I know our viewers are grateful."

See, with all due respect, this is the exact same thing I’m complaining about! “People are only misinformed because of the structural economic factors that allow them to be misinformed.” I dunno, what if they’re just wrong because they’re being lied to a lot?

Tim (Exia) Ross @exiaross.bsky.social · 15h

that's why the "illegals & healthcare" narrative is so sticky, bc even though it's not true, what is true is that people aren't getting enough benefits and are getting those benefits cut, so they want someone, anyone to blame bc the causes are abstract/unclear to them.
