It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

Analysis of MSM - with swearing 🔥🔥🔥
Whenever Trump is asked about the Epstein Files, he runs scared, lies, & lashes out at reporters, especially the female members of the media.
I share my thoughts on why Trump’s terror over the Epstein Files is a tell & why mainstream media needs to get its shit together.

I can’t believe people are going to make me say this but I’ve now had to post it no less than half a dozen times on quote posts:
Pam Bondi was the state attorney for Hillsborough County (Tampa) during the time of Epstein’s first investigation.

Sukkamestarit make some of the best socks! The Finnish Defence Forces swapped from (utterly hopeless) cotton socks to Sukkamestarit merino wool socks, and results were so good that you now find the same socks on sale in every Finnish supermarket.

There’s a reason why the Danish military ordered 750 000 pairs of woollen socks from Finland a year ago
Tanskan puolustusvoimat tilasi suomalaistehtaalta 750 000 paria villasukkia – niillä marssitaan Grönlannissa saakka
Tanskan puolustusvoimat on tilannut Sukkamestareilta satojatuhansia pareja merinovillaisia sukkia. Suomalaiset voittivat kansainvälisen tarjouskilpailun sukkien laadun perusteella.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

This am, I met with Scott Hamby, the Dem candidate in the Georgia 72 District.
Scott is a combat vet & GA native. He worked food aid in Ukraine, helped evacuate Afghanistan, and served for 20 yrs.
He is out to flip a gerrymandered district that's been in GOP hands for generations.

🚄 Love high speed trains so this is great news (while on the TGV between Paris and La Rochelle at 180 mph). Copenhagen to Berlin in 4 hours would be a total game changer. Sadly, all my intercity trips in the US have been by car or airplane and don’t see that change anytime soon
We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.
Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

This is selfish ego-driven leadership that misreads the moment & demoralizes the base.
We have to keep calling these leaders out publicly & people have to jump in to primary them to force them affirmatively make their case on why they're the right people to lead us *now.*

Almost 70% of lawmakers in Congress age 75 and older say they're running for reelection next year.
“No matter what age you are, if you’re in good shape and you can do what it takes," Rep. Maxine Waters, 87, told me, "then you should do it."

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
