james talarico did a fox news interview and all it did was destroy his momentum, piss everyone off and give his opponent ammunition for an ad campaign

Pathetic -- Google is now referring to Lake Ontario as "Lake America"

When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth

No one in MAGA media had carried more water for the baseless claims about the Reflecting Pool than Jesse Watters. The his old Fox News colleague Jeanine Pirro scuttled the case. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/ref...

Reflecting Fool: How Jesse Watters helped push Trump's bogus vandalism story

Good piece about why we should all be freaked out about the new FCC changes that will permit the takeover of local TV news by right wing owners. You may not watch it but most Americans still rely on local TV news. If every station is owned by Sinclair or Nexstar, that it a HUGE problem.

I am absolutely begging Democratic politicians to make media reform a centerpiece of their policy platforms

Looks like they wanted sponsors for Trump's Freedom 250 Grand Prix event, but couldn't find any. There is a big blank space on their banner. Embarrassing. And on their website they are still looking for sponsors.

lol i swear to god this is an actual commercial that just ran on fox news

The Trump admin doesn’t want us sharing this image so…here you go!

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Fox set up a whole-ass news desk for the Great American State Fair and barely anybody showed up. ☠️

"The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All" 30-100 years! Perhaps the most important and scary story you'll read all week:

The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All

The sentences, ranging from 30-100 years, are part of an increasingly disturbing pattern of the Trump administration criminalizing speech and assembly.

easily the most censorial time of my life right now, no one in charge really seems to give a shit though

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The social internet got turned into a giant dopamine farm by a handful of companies who literally hired the same psychologists who design casino floor layouts, and the policy-makers just threw up their hands and said "guess we better ban kids from using the internet then"

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 3mo ago

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

Sponsors list of UFC Freedom 250: Lots of tech, crypto, gambling, and beverages. Notable corporations include Dodge (Stellantis), Meta, Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch), Starlink (SpaceX), and Paramount. Avoid all of these if you oppose Trumpism.

It turns out, the answer to the question: “Would I watch the gladiatorial games sponsored by the hated emperor designed to distract the public from the regime’s failings?” is “no.” No I would not. Glad that’s been cleared up.

i really, truly, find this offensive

In front of the Lincoln Memorial. This.

If you are mad about 60 Minutes being intentionally destroyed, cancel your Paramount Plus subscription. Stop giving them money. It really is that simple. There are lots of other streaming options.

Scott Pelley has been fired by new 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton.

The obscene gap between Main Street and Wall Street in two headlines. The 1% get what they paid for, while the rest of America suffers.

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

This event was sponsored by Deloitte, ExxonMobil, IndyCar, John Deere, Lockheed Martin, Mastercard, Oracle, Palantir, Penske, SAP, Scotts Miracle-Gro, UFC, and United Airlines.

Trump's bizarre pre-recorded message to Rededicate 250 ended up on abrupt note, but that didn't stop the follow-up speaker from worshiping him as a false idol

IndyCar is a sponsor of Trump’s Freedom 250 and its white Christian nationalist Rededicate event. @ffrf.org has called for boycott of Mastercard and United Airlines — also sponsors of Trump’s Freedom 250 / Rededicate 250.

Never ever ever ride in a Tesla robotaxi. And tell your local officials you don't want them in your city. Elon Musk should be out of business and unwelcome.

A real photo of Kid Rock addressing service members at the Pentagon today. Nice summation of where things stand in the United States.

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

USAID Whistleblower Says It Was Even Worse Than People Knew

Political appointees wanted a quiet drawdown, the whistleblower says. DOGE wanted an execution.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

This is also likely stock market manipulation. He lets the markets surge one way based on this post, then will tip off his rich friends before another post that sends it surging the other direction. Such easy money, he can't resist. But appallingly evil.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!
