It may appear like I have a @saletan.bsky.social obsession & I’d say “there’s a reason”. Here’s another brilliant dissection of 1 of Trump’s deranged, sociopathic, conspiracy theorist & his BS stream. RFK’s 1 of many in this cabinet who has lives in their hands. open.spotify.com/episode/2Izu...

"Since 2025, people in Canada, Finland, and multiple locations in the US allegedly have used ChatGPT and other [AI] platforms to prepare for violence." And in the latest case, "The role of ChatGPT ... goes far beyond providing tactical tips." A disturbing investigation by @markfollman.bsky.social.
Inside a mass shooter’s harrowing history with ChatGPT
A year of chats reveals glaring red flags—and disturbing ChatGPT replies—from long before a rampage at Florida State University.

In his CNN interview, RFK Jr. complained that Dana Bash was attacking him. He said the press should be more skeptical of the government. Dude. You *are* the government. He's not mad because she didn't scrutinize the government. He's mad because she did. My video on his televised meltdown.

“Dude, you are the government.” RFK Jr. tells Dana Bash the press should be more skeptical of authority, then bristles when she questions him. @saletan.bsky.social calls out the hypocrisy.
RFK Jr. says Fauci lied about everything, but then, seconds later, uses Fauci’s own diary to make his case. @saletan.bsky.social catches Kennedy blowing up his own argument in real time.
@saletan.bsky.social’s blow by blow analyses are always good, but this one is really keep if you think you’ll need to walk through with your MAGA uncle or you just need a reminder
Laure@laureanne.bsky.social · 2d agoWhy don't more journalists do detailed journalism, like @saletan.bsky.social @thebulwark.com does, and eviscerate lies? This is obviously an effort to vilify a Fauci, a national treasure, to stoke agitprop and witch-hunts to distract from Iran, costs, corruption... #Fauci #journalists #journalism
I never miss a breakdown from @saletan.bsky.social. His delivery is the best, his information is pure fact and he chooses his topics so well. Love him. He's become my favorite at @thebulwark.com.

@saletan.bsky.social on Republicans like Senator Ron Johnson and Roger Marshall making up lies about Fauci and claiming he created COVID. "They don't just think Fauci was wrong, they think he's the devil."
I’ve said this b4 however, @saletan.bsky.social provides the most accurate & insightful analysis of Trump & Fox’s lies & this episode doesn’t disappoint-brilliant! As an Australian, I’m ashamed of Murdoch & his propaganda network-I hope Fauci sues for defamation! open.spotify.com/episode/7kf4...
Will Catches Fox Lying About Fauci—Again
Bulwark Takes · Episode
open.spotify.com
RFK Jr. says a blood clot 5 months after a Covid shot must have come from the shot. And Fox News immediately declares it a "vaccine injury." It shows "you can’t trust anything these people say." Fox's coverage of Fauci and his diary has been lie after lie after lie. In this video, I take it apart.

Bitter, Miserable Trump Whines Through Interminable WHCD Speech
Trump took the stage at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and delivered one of the most uncomfortable speeches of his political career.
lnk.thebulwark.com
"I don’t think we have a deal with these guys. They break every deal they make," Trump said. Then in the same speech he said, "they’ll be ready very soon." None of it amounts to anything. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social:
Trump Can’t Stop Pretending the Iran War Is Over
Just as he lied about COVID quickly going away, he insists Iran is desperate for peace. The attacks on U.S. service members and the Strait of Hormuz suggest otherwise.

Remarkable that Trump issued this order for free. If I were in charge of PR for the Smithsonian, I would have paid him to do it. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/a...
