“[Tucker Carlson] is a useful idiot… I wouldn’t be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet.”
This is why a conspiracy of traitors cooperated with the Russians to deny her the presidency.
Hillary Clinton is right. Again.

Here we go again
President Biden is speaking from the White House. His remarks come just hours after the special counsel cleared him of criminal charges in the handling of classified documents but said he had a “poor memory.” Watch live and follow updates here. https://t.co/gHp9WFNbRt

Mitigation from the WH on the special counsel's report finding that Biden had memory issues: Biden statement says that he was dealing with the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel. pic.twitter.com/XWGbKoo9yt

President Biden was furious and on point.
“I’m well meaning and I’m an elderly man and I know what the hell I’m doing. I put this country back on its feet. I don’t need his recommendation.”
Give them hell, Mr. President!

Yup. Hur knew exactly what he was doing here. To provide political cover for himself for not prosecuting, he gratuitously leveled a personal (not legal) charge against the president that he absolutely knows is a gift to Trump. And, guess what we are all talking about? https://t.co/kPzoIfFSki

Yeah, it’s refreshing
Almost shocking to see such a straightforward and accurate headline https://t.co/57lR1w8gZg pic.twitter.com/z6klyxtmgA

I don’t get it
I realize not all reporters are as aggressive as I was, but damn. Are they simply incapable of calling a spade a spade?
This is not how journalists+editors at @nytimes should be writing about a fascist demagogue who is explicitly @ war w/American democracy. Ever.

This NYT piece normalizes a corrupt serial sexual assailant who sought to end American democracy and threatens to become a dictator.

The stakes
This is worth watching. Remember to articulate the stakes of the election, not just the score. https://t.co/BilS9Uju2H

It’s great to see that the first four stories on the Times web page are about something that directly impacts the lives of ordinary Americans. pic.twitter.com/1vUDIVsxdP

Little secret that is pretty well known – many of the editors at these places are sympathetic to Rufo's "anti woke" crusade. They also assume these forces won't turn on them. They are wrong. https://t.co/4UUtdxH5gs

Same old same old
Kristen Welker allows Lindsey Graham to lie about the border on #MeetThePress with zero pushback. Welker seems more fascinated by the idea of a Senate deal than correcting lies by Graham. pic.twitter.com/ZiufSa62tg

There goes the media talking point
I believe the media can and sometimes does play an important part in maintaining a democracy. BUT, as I’ve said countless times, a lot of reporters are just too lazy to ask questions. They’re court stenographers.
Similar to vote fraud claims. The allegations are sensationalistic, but the investigations turn up nothing-burgers — and the intended damage is done to reduce confidence in elections https://t.co/C4TTklwvWA

I don’t even bat an eye anymore
This is so common that I automatically look up any supposed Democrat who says something shocking:
The "Democrat voter" that Fox News featured on a panel to discuss Trump's town hall is actually an anti-vaccine activist who has said “Democrats are an automatic no-no for me" and that she was "voting down ballot Republican" in last year's midterms.https://t.co/O2fBfIXcPx
