Misinformation isn't spreading into politics because people are reading Politico or going on Bluesky to post about court-packing. It's because people are spending 2+ hours a day swiping through addiction-based short-form video apps that aren't specifically political, sharing memes about politics.

since JD Vance is new to Catholicism, let me explain that when the head Bishop writes a public letter specifically calling out your theological errors and reminding you that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ, that's considered "bad"

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

If we didn't have a maniac as secretary of defense, a toady as secretary of state, and a nobody as chief of staff, they'd be spending today making sure the military checks in with them before obeying any orders from Trump, and quietly getting in touch with Congress to arrange for his impeachment.

The President, White House, and FCC's Brendan Carr are calling for action -- and implying a criminal investigation -- against CNN for... accurately reporting what Iran's state media shared as a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

Trump "Truth": The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD, as CNN well knows. The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria) and, of course, immediately picked up by CNN, and blared out as a “legitimate” headline. The Official Statement by Iran was just released, and posted on TRUTH, below. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible “reporting.” Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMPWhite House Rapid Response account: "ATTENTION @cnni : As @POTUS just said, Iran’s official statement is linked in his TRUTH below AND posted by the Iranian foreign minister. This alleged statement by “Iran” is a FRAUD! Correct immediately!" [Photo of CNN story citing "a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council report by Iranian state media."Brendan Carr tweet: More outrageous conduct from CNN. Fake news is bad enough for the country, but pushing out a hoax headline in such a sensitive national security moment as this requires accountability. Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them. Time for change at CNN.Iran's PressTV Twitter account: Supreme national security council: Iran achieved historic victory by forcing criminal US to accept its 10-point plan.

This is exactly right—“distraction talk” presumes there is one thing Trump and cronies are doing we should be paying attention to; they are doing thousands of terrible things and should be attending to all of them.

I just don’t think that’s what happening here I find distraction discourse exhausting. He’s a terrible monster who wants to do many terrible and monstrous things, and he would like to be in power forever in order to keep doing those terrible and monstrous things.

"Apparently the case he intends to make here is, 'look, don't blame me. Blame the UK. You know, if they'd come in—it's their oil. We were only there to kind of help out.' Notwithstanding the fact that we started the war!" @eggerdc.bsky.social on Trump's plans for the Strait of Hormuz.

Just got word that my friend Shane DiGiovanna passed away. Shane was an OG Bulwark reader whom I got to know shortly after moving to Cincinnati. He was quite a person. 🧵
