Vice 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.

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

place themselves at odds with our responsibility to represent the electorate and the views of the majority of Americans, who find the genocide in Gaza an appalling affront to American values and do not want to see US taxpayer funded weapons used to perpetuate it.
AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.
They are a right-wing organization that undermines democracy. They have zero tolerance for any diversity of thought from their line, and pressure elected officials to increasingly-
I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.
They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

“As Trump doubles down—and he will—his downward spiral will accelerate, which is why reporters cannot let him off the hook when he lies and obfuscates and tries to change the subject...every opponent must...speak out and refuse to let him control the narrative.”

We Can't Let The Abuser-In-Chief Control the Narrative
We the people and fearless journalists must stand together. That includes confronting Trump's Epstein denials and the continuing lies of election fraud that he's shaping for the midterms.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.
Seeing these two headlines side-by-side is really something
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again:

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

If these “manosphere” podcasters are upset, they have themselves to thank. They sucked Trump’s dick all of 2024.
Now they act surprised the guy Epstein called his best friend won’t release the full files, or that he’s actually doing mass deportations.
What did these morons think would happen?

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown

He basically says he’ll only accept the results if Republicans win — then lies for 2 full minutes about seizing the ballots in Georgia

this is program police were using to funnel flock data to ice. so, good move
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Please remember that in the 1940s, the Nazis thought they would live freely and get away with what they were trying to do, but some of the highest ranking Nazis committed suicide to prevent their own trials and there were a few acquittals. This regime can think the same thing.

Their explanation is that, as reporters, they don’t want to become part of the story. But he’s already making them part of the story. He is making their credibility and even their human worth the story, and is getting no pushback.
Seriously, it shouldn't be hard to identify the other reporters in the Oval Office and to ask them why they remain silent when the president of the United States verbally attacks one of their colleagues.
This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

@kaitlancollins.bsky.social? This has been going on forever. Trump, the coward, is constantly throwing ugly sexist insults at female reporters. When the fuck will White House media members defend their female colleagues?

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
No matter who's paying for it or who he claims is paying for it this is 100% illegal absent Congressional action.
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.
