Oh get a grip.
The Park Avenue defender has logged on to...preach against elite mingling at social gatherings?
I’m still chuckling at the idea that Soledad would have deigned to cover a D or R policy retreat. If she had, she’d know these are not exclusive things, they happen out in the open at the hotel bar

Did Boehner try to charm reporters? Of course, same as any political figure.
The problem of congressional reporters socializing with members of Congress is a real one and as old as Congress, but the Park Avenue defender can’t credibly be the one leveling the criticism
😂

IDF is now openly acknowledging the 5 journalists they incinerated were indeed operating as journalists, but the IDF believed their work was “combat propaganda.”

The IDF is entitled to its opinion and is free to engage in media criticism, but deliberately killed 5 journalists because you don’t like their work is terrorism, barbarism, a crime against humanity, and should be prosecuted immediately
So the @nytimes can drop the he said/she said pretense here since both sides acknowledge they were indeed working as journalists Image
@nytimes For the prosecutors, here’s the confession

🚨 Today at @DropSiteNews--in collaboration w/TI Brasil--we're publishing text messages sent by the US-backed attorney general, a rise star celebrated in Time magazine by Samantha Power, that show her using the powers of her office to undermine the party of Rafael Correa /1 Image
For instance, in one message sent to Ronny Aleaga, who says he had an "intimate relationship" with Salazar despite being political adversaries, she says she is delaying the prosecution of a right-wing official so as not to help the left in the elections dropsitenews.com/p/ecuador-left…

Fun 🧵on the power of reporting:

Back in the summer of 2018, Minnesota AG Lori Swanson was surging toward the nomination for governor, polling well ahead of Tim Walz and another candidate.

@rmc031 was spending the summer there and picked up on a scandal the MN press had failed to uncover
The short version is Swanson for years had been deploying her govt staff for campaign and personal stuff. It was a really hard story to nail down and to write in a way that got across what a true scandal it was. She pulled it off, the MN press picked up on it, Swanson flailed and flamed out
Walz surged into the lead, won the nomination, became governor, and the rest you saw today theintercept.com/2018/08/06/lor…

It's reported that Trump's attempted assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks made a $15 donation to "Progressive Turnout Project PAC" on January 20, 2021.

I've reported on this PAC and its Mothership before: It's one of those scammy firms that blasts peoples inboxes relentlessly 🧵
Here's an example of one I found in my inbox:

Progressive Turnout Project uses "Mothership Strategies" as its email consultant, which we investigated many years ago at HuffPost for hoovering up emails, blasting people with emails that looked like bills and other crap, and keeping much of the money huffpost.com/entry/end-citi…

Biden’s campaign manager and his deputy campaign manager both sent long emails to close groups of supporters trying to help people cope with the exposure of the lie the campaign has been telling everybody.

The short version: hey, everybody knew he was old. Shut up and vote.
I would post them here but what’s the point
Alright, gotta get the kids to bed first though
