I was going to watch the #WHCD but I decided to watch a botfly compilation instead because it was only half as gross.

I don't care about how Trump insulted the press at the #WHCD. I DO care about how the Trump admin's DOJ really attacks journalists. @emptywheel@mastodon.social talked to @nicolesandler@mstdn.social about the the indictment of Journalist Georgia Fort. She asked "Did Harmeet Dhillon's people give the grand jury fabricated info to get an indictment?" We'll find out soon since the judge just gave Fort's defense team access to the Grand Jury transcript. Full show here: https://www.youtube.com/live/G6xg9hwDNis?si=PjbzdvPAk532S6BH&t=1099 @GottaLaff@mstdn.social @LOLGOP

"A close reading of the Justice Department’s charges Monday afternoon against 31-year-old Cole Allen hint that he didn’t fire any weapon at all. In fact, it’s not clear from what we know that this was a 'shooting' at all. ... Here is what to me is a more likely scenario than what the government is telling us so far:" ~ Garrett M.

"Nobody in the history of American politics has weaponized incidents of violent crime to turn them into political capital like Donald Trump. His campaign’s use of the incident in Butler, PA as well as the Laken Riley murder in sick and perverse ways were instrumental in returning him to the presidency." ~ Ron Filipkowski #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD #Trump #Republicans #violence #media #ballroom /1 https://www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-politics-bulletin-358-42726

"Now he’s is using the incident at the WHCA dinner to justify his deeply unpopular ballroom monstrosity. Trump, members of his admin, Republican members of Congress, as well as right-wing TV hosts, podcasters and influencers went on a full-court propaganda blitz today to use the latest incident to justify not only construction of the ballroom, but even a demand to have taxpayers now foot the bill." #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD #Trump #Republicans #violence #media #ballroom /2

"He lies. And the press corps accepts it. This dynamic is a part of strategy that's gotten clearer since Saturday. Instead of using the shock of violence to bridge divisions between Americans, the president is enlisting the press corps in creating a reality with which to divide us further." ~ John Stoehr #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD #Trump #Republicans #violence #media #ballroom /3 https://www.editorialboard.com/cole-allen-is-not-anti-christian-trump-lied-about-his-faith-and-the-press-corps-accepted-it/

"The Republicans love to gaslight the public into believing that the Democrats are inciting violence when they tell the truth about Trump. In fact, it's the president who is the greatest source of incitement. That his life has been threatened three times should be proof enough." #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD #Trump #Republicans #violence #media #ballroom /4

Replying to @wdlindsy@toad.social
"Yet the press corps plays along, accepting Trump's claims uncritically – he was told to get down when he actually fell; Cole Allen is ant-Christian when he is actually deeply Christian – as if the constant mainlining of deceit into the body politic is not going to bring tensions to an even higher boil." #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #WHCD #Trump #Republicans #violence #media #ballroom /5

"For a decade I have been following the twists and turns of Donald Trump’s America with the privilege of journalistic distance. On Saturday night I felt the darkness come viscerally close. ... The past 10 years have witnessed a shooting at a congressional baseball practice, a deadly white supremacist march in Charlottesville," (continued in /2) ~ David Smith #Trump #WHCD #shooting #violence #media /1 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/26/white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-covering-trump

(continued from /1) "the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol and the killings of the former Minnesota house speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk. Political violence is rampant and on Saturday, in a fancy Washington ballroom, Trump and the media glimpsed the edge of the abyss." #Trump #WHCD #shooting #violence #media /2

"My first thought wasn’t shock. It was recognition. Because I had spent the better part of this Saturday documenting exactly how we arrived at a place where something like this could feel — in the most sick and twisted way imaginable — not just possible but almost inevitable." ~ Kristoffer Ealy #Trump #WHCD #shooting #violence #media /3 https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/corporate-media-chaos-trump-the-whcd

"I fear violence will become a defining characteristic of the next few months, leading up to the midterms. It is the lexicon of what now passes for debate in the Trump era." ~ Gene Weingarten #Trump #WHCD #shooting #violence #media /4 https://geneweingarten.substack.com/p/i-blame-trump

"There is a close relationship between Trump and violence — not just the attempts on his life but also the violence he’s unleashed on the world, the violence his ICE and Border Patrol agents have caused inside America, the violence he has incited among his followers." ~ Robert Reich #Trump #WHCD #shooting #violence #media /5 https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-last-nights-correspondents
