Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

I'm watching Marco Rubio on CNN claim Trump never tried to target Dems while in office and Dana Bash provides zero push-back. Just an absolute joke of a network.

Republicans rewrite history on Trump targeting Clinton after 2016www.msnbc.com While in office, Donald Trump repeatedly tried to get the Justice Department to go after Hillary Clinton. Republicans keep pretending this didn't happen.

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.” But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/troubling-...

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

One guy is old. The other guy is an old lying pedophile philandering racist rapist, convicted of 34 felonies, liable for $464 million of business fraud, who ripped off thousands of people, stole top secret US military documents, and tried to violently overthrow the government.

The #Braves just seem lost. So many times this year they have had men on 1st and 2nd, no outs, and have failed to score. Yesterday, they get back to back homers, then seemingly become deflated when the #Giants get their own back to back HRs. Aaron Bummer has been a disaster in middle relief. #MLB ⚾

Hunter Biden has sued Fox News and its parent company over a 2022 miniseries that purported to show a “mock trial” of the president’s son, claiming that the conservative network made money from publishing his intimate images on the show.

Three days after the debate every Sunday news shows invited an avowed election-denying fascist on the air in an overt effort to legitimize them as good-faith commentators The news media is openly pro-fascist

Biden really should have also said "I'm here to tell the American people my vision for America over the next 4 years, not be CNN's fact-checker".

So weird that the #Braves have an 11:15am start time against the #Pirates and even weirder that it's on The Roku Channel. 😵‍💫🤷

Vegetative state national journalism model that 9 years after Trump revealed he was and would be the world's biggest liar in history every news outlet continues to dilute his mendacious gatling spray of lies with "falsehoods" and "untruths"

Earlier this week, CNN's political director David Chalian said a debate “is not the ideal venue for a live fact-checking exercise." Moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash stuck to that model Thursday night, despite multiple falsehoods claimed during the debate.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense
