Different strokes for different folks: —Guy who calls a government official “a world class hater” gets suspended and then dropped by his employer. npr.org/2025/06/11/nx-… —Guy who insinuates the president is a pedophile offers general apology and moves on.

The murder of elected political leaders is generally something we should all condemn, here Utah Senator @basedmikelee mocks it. I'm surprised, I will never see this man the same way again.

MSM here. I find people are swimming in propaganda & misinfo about what we do. They don’t subscribe or read us. And, it’s no coincidence GOP trust took a sharp drop post-2015. Trump said he slams journalists “so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you”

Trump Mobile seems like such small potatoes compared to the crypto cash grab. It's almost like a grifters-gotta-grift type offering.

Meanwhile he sued CBS for how they edited a Kamala interview

Important piece from Tom Rowley

Well, that's a shitty way to treat a former colleague. Jennifer Griffin is a real pro and did not deserve this vitriol and disrespect. Good for her for pushing back.

Agree 100 percent

Bill Moyers was a close friend, a mentor & a role model. In a media world where there's almost no solidarity, he guided my career & was an unwavering supporter of our accountability journalism at The Lever. This is terrible news. We have lost a giant. nytimes.com/2025/06/26/bus…

Griffin is a fine reporter. This suggests administration won’t accept anything less than its “obliteration” framing.

“If there’s one family that hasn’t profited off politics, it’s the Trump family,” Eric Trump said in an interview with FT that doesn't do near enough to challenge the absurdity of that claim. ft.com/content/4fdac3… via @ft

Fmr CBS News chief Andy Heyward: "The decision to settle a case with no legal merit obviously comes squarely from the corporate suite, not from anybody at CBS News... The critical issue is whether 60 Minutes can hold onto its tradition of fierce editorial integrity under new mgt"

As Bulgaria makes it into the eurozone, the European Commission releases a scathing report on the rule of law in the country. And oligarch/politician Delyan Peevski sends his minions to arrest the liberal opposition mayor of Varna. Econ growth coupled w/ democratic backsliding

I am so proud of my brave, brilliant colleagues Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, proud to live in a country where the founders put freedom of speech in the very first amendment, and proud to work at The Wall Street Journal. wsj.com/politics/trump… via The Wall Street Journal

Thank you for the good thoughts for PBS and esp. PBS News. It means the world. We're as determined to ever. Ways to support: 1. EASY one - let's build. Folo me - Lisa Desjardins. Folo PBS News RT this.

NEW Investigation: The The Washington Post talked to 40 admin officials, allies and insiders about Trump's Antisemitism Task Force. We polled 60 schools. We found many of its demands and punishments have nothing to do with antisemitism. washingtonpost.com/education/2025…
