Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Can you see a Quid-Pro-Quo? Big oil paid billions and WE got a war that sent their profits soaring. Remember it each time you fill up. The corruption just stinks and people are dying because of it.

tRump is back on the Big Lie full force. ‘Our voting system is strictly third-world.’ Same tired 2020 conspiracy trash, same lies about Detroit and mail-in ballots. This is how he tries to destroy trust in elections as he prepares another Big Lie for the midterms. www.themirror.com/news/politic...

No. Centrists and right wingers do not claim to be against mass surveillance, they are not fundamentally ideologically opposed to it. Leftists claim to be opposed to mass surveillance, yet continually back surveillance laws. That's why I call them out. They are supposed to be OPPOSED to this stuff

Can you please stop doing that thing where you single out the "the left" when you are absolutely smart enough to know it's worse with centrists and right-wingers?

1/ This is great reporting by @justinbaragona.bsky.social at Zeteo. And it's a perfect launching point for something I've been meaning to rant about. There is an ongoing belief in many news organizations that there exists a large, gettable conservative audience.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 7d ago

NEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...

Since taking over CBS News last fall, Weiss has actively shifted the network to the right in an apparent effort to capture some of the conservative audience that regularly watches Fox. At the same time, she wants to appeal to the supposed “70% of the audience that identifies themselves as center-left to center-right,” as her boss David Ellison asserted after he purchased her anti-woke blog The Free Press. The problem is that her strategy appears to be driving an increasing number of CBS News’s core audience away while failing to attract any of Fox’s viewers. In fact, according to Nielsen data obtained by Zeteo, the news network’s weekday offerings are in danger of getting passed by Murdoch’s cable news programs head-to-head. During July, ‘CBS Mornings’ averaged just 1.623 million total viewers per day, compared to the 1.436 million that ‘Fox & Friends’ pulled in for the month. The gap between the shows, now at 13%, has narrowed considerably. When Weiss became the head of the network, ‘CBS Mornings’ held a 26% advantage over Fox’s morning program. July was the lowest-rated month in ‘CBS Mornings’ history. And while the summer months typically bring lower ratings for news shows, the gap between ‘CBS Mornings’ and ‘Fox & Friends’ is tighter than it was last July – when the CBS show held a 23% advantage. Additionally, ‘CBS Evening News’ is on track for its worst month since Weiss installed Tony Dokoupil as its anchor, averaging just 3.814 million total viewers a night. It is also the fourth consecutive month that the program has attracted fewer than 4 million viewers. When reached for comment, a CBS News spokesperson shared a Paramount press release boasting that ‘CBS Evening News’ was narrowly up 2% in total viewers compared to last year, which was the program’s worst July in history.

tRump just yanked the tarp off the Arlington Bridge statues. Underneath? Bright gold leaf. $5.1 million of our tax dollars to turn national history into casino bling. He’s gold-plating everything. This country is becoming a tacky monument to one tyrant’s ego. atlantablackstar.com/2026/07/29/t...
