limited combat operations... what are they good for!?
media absolutely will let them get away with it
If discussing someone being gay in a movie makes you need tons of therapy, consider the movie a successful diagnosis, bc you clearly needed that therapy before seeing the movie.
Also, guessing "some parents" really means "some STRAIGHT parents," bc doubt kids of gay parents are shocked by this.
Example: Here's the JPPI participant data - left. Note that only 14% are "unaffiliated". Reliable, responsible polling, e.g. Pew, has no denominational identity at more than double that - 32% (and 'no affiliation' would've yielded an even higher number). www.pewresearch.org/religion/202....
The @jta.org headline is simply wrong; please amend. JPPI itself acknowledges that it polls "connected" Jews, not Jews overall, meaning disproportionally more denominationally affiliated Jews and those who've lived in Israel, and less intermarried Jews. www.jta.org/2026/03/09/i...

It is totally valid to criticize a respected scientist for appearing at an antivax crankfest, because the very act of appearing with the likes of Del Bigtree et al elevates them and diminishes the scientist.
You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
The actual finding here is about research methodology and doesn't debunk previous studies that find no association between Tylenol and autism.
You should not report studies like this in a way that implies RFK Jr has a point!

One of the things I find fascinating about the "you need to learn to use AI or you'll be left behind" crowd is that everyone I know who has been forced to use it has said that the only way to use it in a way that actually results in time savings is to know the field extremely well.
I'm just gonna say it: Booker's proposal to end income taxes below $75k is idiotic. We've just crippled our state capacity and your response is a tax cut? Come on man
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
You cannot give this administration another nickel.
My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.
What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.
I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:
no, it really shouldn't
Fun story: back in like 2017Marc came to BuzzFeed (he was an investor) and did this small little roundtable chat with like 6 or 7 of us editors/reporters, presumably about the tech world and he just walked in and rambled concerningly for 1 hr about things he'd learned from some Ancient Rome book

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

I was not kidding about Bari getting her job because she hung with Epstein. So many of those 'thinkers' and 'writers' that you discovered solely because they were platformed by the NYT or WaPo or brunchlord media is because they're Epstein people. Not because they're smart.
Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

INBOX: Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens and New Hampshire Rep. Chris Pappas, who are both running for Senate, cut two video messages for AIPAC's official Instagram yesterday.
If you may recall, a US-Israeli joint strike this week killed over 100 Iranian schoolgirls, widely considered a war crime.
It looks like @rephaleystevens.bsky.social and @repchrispappas.bsky.social want to lose their Senate Campaigns. They like what Israel is doing to Gaza and now Iran. They want to spend YOUR MONEY to kill little girls and make it rain flaming oil on Tehran

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:
Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.
If you don't want to have conversations with your kids you're not ready for then don't have kids. Yes, I understand this statement is meant to imply the children are the ones that not ready. If my refusing to read it that way bothers you, imagine how frustrating talking to a child will be for you.
