After federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the pro-Trump management team at CBS News pressured journalists to put disinformation in their reports. This went beyond “politics” – it was news executives helping fascists whitewash murder. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Heather Cox Richardson is a careful commentator. She lays out historical context, takes a long view, and resists hysteria. At last, her posts make direct comparisons between MAGA Republicans and Fascists. However reluctant we may be to use the term, the commonalities are now undeniable.

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 3w agoThe documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."
The corruption is unbelievable!! "...the difference between the Democrats’ signature bill and the Republicans’ is how the representatives... see the purpose of the American government. Should it be used for the good of the American people, or to concentrate wealth and power among a few?" -HCR
