Husband, dad, some other things too

Incredible censorship here — you must pledge only to report what the Pentagon wants you to report and do no original news gathering…

The Trump administration unveiled a new crackdown Friday on journalists at the Pentagon, saying it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those…

JD Vance's prior positions included a natalist agenda (much bigger CTC, free childbirths), greater skepticism of Wall Street (fees on credit cards, penalties for executives of failed banks), and opposition to large federal health care cuts It’s hard to see that vision reflected…

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the installation of Signal on a computer in his Pentagon office, illustrating the extent to which he integrated use of the unclassified platform at the center of his political troubles with the secure systems the U.S. government uses.

Still seeing a lot of people suggesting that DOGE remains a largely inconsequential effort/big show that in practice does little but squander Trump's political capital. (This is how I read @mattyglesias today, but he can correct me if I'm misreading.) I could be wrong, of…

State TV host Vladimir Solovyov—whose programs Putin likes to watch—rejoiced about Trump’s picks: “What an excellent team is coming along with Trump! If they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!” x.com/JuliaDavisNews…

Pretty amazing that the House (likely 220R-215D) would have flipped to Dems this year while the White House/Senate flipped to the GOP, had it not been for Rs winning a majority on the NC Supreme Court in 2022, allowing GOP legislators to redraw three Dem seats into oblivion.

New @PuckNews: A bracing new poll for Democrats - Voters (so far) approve of the Trump transition - GOP now more popular than Dem Party - Most Dems want to move past Kamala - Podcasts boosted Trump - Only 12% of voters pay for news puck.news/pod-save-maga/ @EchelonInsights

Some have asked in recent days what it means to be an independent newsroom. Here's one example -- a revealing story about The Post's owner -- reported, written and edited by the newsroom with zero interference. Just like every other story. washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/10…


Eric Rich reposted

I wouldn’t even think of canceling my subscription to @washingtonpost, where I started my career as a clerk. What’s going on with the owner has nothing to do with the excellent work of its reporters. #WhyISubscribe

Journalism. That’s what will suffer most because of these losses. If you care about journalism — and many people have made clear that they don’t, as they celebrate in our mentions and inboxes — I hope you’ll consider, or reconsider, reading and supporting the Post.

NEWS: More than 200,000 subscribers have canceled their digital subscriptions to the Washington Post after the revelation that owner Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of VP Harris. That's about 8 percent of WaPo's subscriber base - a staggering sum MORE npr.org/2024/10/28/nx-…

In the course of reporting on Patel, and the threat that he and other loyalists like him would pose to the country in a second Trump term, I struggled to shake what I learned about a series of events that took place on October 30, 2020. I want to share them with you here. 🧵

This whole @elainaplott story about Kash Patel is wild. But particularly the details from Oct 30, 2020 when Patel, for reason no one quite knows, told Defense that they had air rights for a West African rescue mission they hadn't yet secured ... theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
