Trump wrote what he wrote about the late Robert Mueller because hate is his game. Don’t play it. Noting his undignified and hypocritical behavior useful for history, but it won’t matter now. Neither will quoting Mueller’s resume. Stay focused on what he does, not what he says.

The press is not supposed to make war comfortable for the people waging it.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Threatening broadcast licenses over war coverage isn’t media oversight. It’s the language of governments that want obedience instead of journalism. What @BrendanCarrFCC wrote should alarm anyone who cares about a free press. nyti.ms/3NpdZB5

My father served honorably in another war of choice. He carried the visible and invisible scars for the rest of his life. The decisions that send people to war don’t end when presidents leave office. They live on in the people left to carry them. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Wars of choice demand something from leaders: candor. Defined aims. Honesty about the costs. A strategy that can survive public scrutiny. Trump is not doing this. Everything but. And Republicans in Congress keep refusing to hold him accountable. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Why is a man seeking power through elections trying to make participation in those elections harder? That question may seem rhetorical, because he’s a Republican—but it is still worth asking, and getting an answer to.

🚨BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is publicly offering to abandon his U.S. Senate campaign if Senate Republicans agree to change the filibuster rules and pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping anti-voting bill. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/pa…

NEW: Donald Trump is pursuing an aggressive midterms strategy, but there’s doubts about whether he’ll be able to rebuild the historic coalition that sent him to the White House. “It’s very unclear whether those voters are even going to show up.” ms.now/news/trump-mid…

@JamilSmith @jemelehill I didn’t say you. It was my post in response to the other post. I didn’t think I would have to write a long drawn out statement. 😮

Watching Jesse Jackson run for president when I was a child, he represented more than just representation. While it may have seemed that “Run Jesse Run” was about us being seen, it’s clear now that it was more about our demands being met. Read @saigrundy. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…
