Here’s Why A Twitter Spat Between Democratic Campaign Staffers In April Spells Trouble for Democrats in the Midterms By Chris Cillizza

To people under the age of 30: I realize you don’t believe us and this seems like a meme, but this was a real story.

Obama got Iran to halt its nuke program without closing the Strait of Hormuz and murdering little girls

.@atrupar on how the antiquated conventions of the political press corps sanitize and normalize Trump.

Every single WH reporter: Just got off the phone with Trump who promised to “rip off every Iranian head and shit down their necks.” Asked him if he thought reconciliation could get 51 votes and if he thought Don Jr would make a good 28 candidate. He said xylophone poop train.

For those who still think of @MSNOWNews as only a cable network, @kylewilsontharp illustrates the org's growing reach on YouTube compared to other digital-first creators in today's @readchaoticera newsletter. 👇

@maxwelltani gets his hands on some internal, eyebrow-raising conversations inside the Baltimore Sun. Always fascinating to get a glimpse inside a newsroom -- but this is not a good look for that shop.

It’s just amazing to me that reporters still feel no shame about doing stenography for Trump when he calls them for one of those glorified voicemails in which they apparently never ask followup questions

a lapel pin will really show em!

Congratulations to Lauren Betts and the sensational seniors at @UCLAWBB for winning their first NCAA Championship!

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

Blanche does not need to meet Trump's illegal and unethical "expectations." That is not a "burden," it is a choice.

No. Blanche does need to "satisfy" Trump's illegal and unethical "demands." If he does that, it is his choice to violate his oath.

Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.

People like @AriFleischer are either immensely stupid, appallingly badly informed or incredibly dishonest. 1) Anyone can read the North Atlantic Charter (NATO Treaty) - just google it - and see for themselves that NATO cannot be mobilised for this war. 2) When has the UK sold the United States out? Never. The US has sold us out though, a few times. 3) UK bases are being used daily for strikes on Iran. 4) If you wanted allied support in this war, perhaps it would have been wise to a) asked them b) involve them in the planning for it, rather than just start a war on your own and then demand we get involved. Ari, you are doing the American people no favours by misleading them.

New @playbookdc: I found maybe the only person in the world who has listened to almost every word uttered by a 2028 Democrat on a podcast, logging more than a 1,000 hours and some 600 episodes. What @JesseLehrich has learned about the field so far. And why he’s… Starting his own show w/ @Rob_Flaherty politico.com/newsletters/pl…

She’s always worked the press well, going back to her days as Florida AG Used to be regular reporter cell phone calls

@anniekarni @katierogers When your publisher eliminated the NYT public editor role, he argued readers serve as the paper’s watchdog. Arthur Sulzberger, May 31, 2017:

Many people have very strong opinions about what journalism should and shouldn't be (see: any reporter's inbox). And there also exists just a fundamental misunderstanding of how much of it works.

The spell Bondi has over the DC press corps is going strong. @WSJ reports—without attribution—that she’s “heartened” by a “flood of job offers.”
