There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

The recent executive order on AI tries to rip away states’ rights and allows a small group of billionaire bros and friends of the first family to dictate AI policy for the entire country. Our office will keep fighting to protect people from the illegal acts of this administration.

I can't afford steak and my kids have been home all week after they closed the school because of a measles outbreak. But at least now there's nobody kneeling at the beginning of the football games that I don't watch.

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

Huh. It's almost like when institutions stand up to that spineless coward fascist, he loses and folds. I sure wish more institutions would take note of that.
BREAKING: Seattle Children's Hospital successfully fought this summer to get DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena quashed.

The Seattle court partially unsealed the case this week.

This was the fourth, previously sealed case mentioned in this recent Law Dork report: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

The New York Times spread COVID vaccine disinformation by implying shots killed children, then quietly rewrite the article without notice. The unacknowledged edit amplified harm and eroded trust.

My latest about the newly passed SPOG contract, which isn't great news for Seattle's police accountability or its civilian response. Mayor Harrell just signed it yesterday.
