- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeThe Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeVice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeThe comms rep just had no ability to comprehend that AI takes in the information that already exists in the world and repackages it. Our reporting had yet to be published and therefore wasn't out in the world hadn't been ingested by any chatbot. And they just... believed the chatbot.
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeWhile reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
- Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeSeems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeI have no interest in defending Jeff Bezos but this is extremely not what happened after he bought the Post. The newsroom added hundreds of journalists and dramatically expanded foreign coverage. Dozens of engineers were hired to support the Post's software business. Now he's undone all of that.
- Reposted by Trevor Metcalfe"We just want to do good work and each make a decent living and keep the lights on" is still a radical idea in comparison to how everything has always worked but it's not fantastical.
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfePretty unusual for Court of Appeals to send something directly to Virginia Supreme Court But highlights the importance of redistricting case from timing and constitutional standpoint Might as well cut to chase as losing side would appeal ruling anyways
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeSpeaking of the Washington Post, this is a must-read story it recently put out about how the government chased down a guy who sent critical emails to federal employees about current deportation policies.

- Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

- Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeTrump is working hard to set/reinforce a frame that connects immigration, financial fraud, & election fraud. He and the right wing propaganda machine will keep producing “evidence” to fit this frame, then use it to justify attempts to suppress voters, kick voters off rolls, and delegitimize results.
- Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeTrump doesn't have the power to federalize elections, which obviously doesn't mean it's OK that he's saying things like this. The stuff about ginning up bullshit in Atlanta – we'll see. But let's reserve a moment of appreciation for a "media appearance" with a newly former senior admin official.
- Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
- Reposted by Trevor MetcalfeThe big Dem flip in Fort Worth even bigger than this. Rs panicked and poured in money, got Trump to put out a Truth Social about the race. Dems apparently flipped indie Trump voters with lots of persuasion.
