FOX: " Rent Now, Pay Later. It's a new option for renters who are struggling to make the monthly payment ... You pay them a fee or a monthly subscription, but if you miss the payments — that's when the interest rates go way up."

complaining about “cancel culture” in 2026 is like those WWII guys on an island still fighting in 1963
Imagine writing these words, in February 2026, regarding the most vicious McCarthyite of the modern era: "Bari Weiss Hates cancel culture"

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

A reminder to my fellow journos: never discuss sourcing or other sensitive topics on Slack
The FBI got access to the Washington Post's newsroom Slack and CMS.

That is an incredible amount of access to the newspaper's inner workings.
This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating.

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."
Trump: "It's actually a legal definition -- 'whole milk.' And it's whole with a W for those of you that have a problem."

This is the perfect illustration of the emptiness of political reporting that stresses “access”

Trump picked up the phone, but didn’t say anything. What a scoop! You got proof of life! Yay!
From the perspective of reporting the news, it doesn’t strike me that there is a functional difference between a president who answers the phone at 4:30am in the morning but doesn’t answer a reporter’s questions, versus a president who doesn’t agreed to be interviewed.

Did one of those kids that called the White House Christmas line ask for Venezuela for Christmas?

Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."

He says the military has launched a new platform that  "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

What a confession.
