looking back at now once again trump loyalists statements on jan 6 is crazy because it really illustrates how they’ve managed to sanitize what everyone knew was going on. the jan 6ers were ultimately successful it seems

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

RFK Jr. just issued a unilateral directive to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This isn’t based on new data or new evidence, and he bypassed every scientific and clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.

On Air Force One, a reporter noted that some had called it a kidnapping and Trump said that was a good term for it.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

just reminding you all the Matty here was chosen to be one of the people you're supposed to take seriously AFTER he boldly came out in favor of people dying in collapsing sweatshops, provided that they are suffciently Other
Incredibly funny that this is the closest Matty Yglesias will ever get to admitting he was wrong about American empire. “Looks like that leftist was right. Like a fucking IDIOT”

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Was thinking of this Bush-era line a lot today, after I was done amusing myself looking up all the freakasses who called Trump antiwar or dovish, when he's just another bloodthirsty piggish neocon.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

I actually think it's fine to position yourself against feckless elites, we should do so relative to Bari Weiss, who's given friendly interviews with Epstein grandees Alan Dershowitz and Woody Allen, and her henchman Adam Rubenstein who's a David Brooks disciple.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
