  Journalistic mysteries of the modern age: - Why has no reporter gotten into Mitch McConnell's room or gotten a doctor's comments - Why no reporter has gotten a photo behind the #KennedyCenter tarp - Why White House correspondents attended a dinner with a man who has spent a decade undermining them #MediaMustDoBetter

  @gleick@mas.to Maybe instead of "human-caused" it should be "oil and gas caused". Perhaps we should also mention that mitigations measures have been known for 20+ years, but attacked and undercut.

  My favorite take on Trump's nonsense "election interference" speech: Rep. Jim McGovern: “Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while HE was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled. You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.” Thanks to @MeidasTouch@mstdn.social

  No wonder politics and society are in such an awful, divided state. Top tier news source, #BBCNews , writes a whole piece focused on #Widdecombe 's provocateur style ...as if that is the best trait a politician. Her words "...would splash a listener in the face and demand a reaction.".

  The question Rupert Lowe needs to answer is not "How many were murdered in Dunblane?"

  Take a moment to really look at this map of #Gaza. The red areas are designated militarised or no-go zones per the Israeli army. An enclave with 2.1M people, who have been pushed from end to end, now must live in approximately 40% of the already crowded (and now structurally destroyed) space. Oh, and food, fuel and medicines are not allowed in. One man can stop this madness. Others may be complicit, but #Netanyahu keeps this war going. #GazaCeasefire

  I've yet to see one article on American partisan gerrymandering this election cycle that points out Democratic gains are made thru statewide referenda (CA and VA) ... Vs Republican gains that are done by state legislators without public votes.

  Every day, America's actions in #Iran look more like Netanyahu's permanent hostilities with his neighbours. Trump didn't find an "offramp" - he stopped his brutal escalation to allow the public mood to lighten. I have no doubts, Trump will continue threats and periodic hostile acts - until eventually he breaks the ceasefire. #ThisIsAmericaNow Trump Finds His Offramp With Iran.

  @indivisibleteam@mastodon.social Fantastic achievement with #NoKings day But one thing is puzzling me today - where was the counterprogramming by Trump.? Sure, there's his #Iran war. But it's unlike him to miss a chance to personally seize the headlines from an unflattering story. Is he slipping? Complacent? Losing it? 🤔

  @Morgawr@bookstodon.com @Crowsinger@wandering.shop @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @lukeryanps@toot.community Of course, there will be American elections. Even Russia has elections. The questions are who can vote and who counts? Republicans have been rigging all three for years. Even if the House of Representative flips (likely), Trump has made Congress irrelevant. It won't matter. We are now in a monarchy. Dems MUST flip the Senate too, and stop his horrific appointments, to even start towards...
