1. Tucker Carlson's snide dismissal of paternity leave is in stark contrast to his network's paternity leave policy, which his male colleagues rave about. mediamatters.org/fox-news/tucke…
Left, Tucker sneering at paternity leave (and gay dads).

Right, Fox corporate doc highlighting how its "parental leave policy allows eligible new parents to bond with their children for a substantial period with full pay." ImageImage

Right, Fox's Todd Piro op-ed at FoxNews.com praising the network's paternity leave policy after he returned from six weeks with his spouse and infant. ImageImageImage
Incidentally, that Fox corporate doc is full of fun stuff. Here it is explaining why diversity is a strength. media.foxcorporation.com/wp-content/upl… Image

Stephen Miller, who has described the Democratic Party as a "domestic extremist organization," is a key figure in the White House push to investigate progressive groups, with targets including ActBlue and George Soros' network, per a new Reuters investigation. Image

"'The goal is to destabilize Soros’ network,' a third White House official said." reuters.com/legal/governme…
A tell here is that Trump keeps complaining about the "very expensive" signs at protests, calling the protesters "paid anarchists," and threatening to come after the funders. No distinction drawn between protected speech and violence, just targeting opposition.

Crashing out and telling people it's because you're mad about the handling of the Epstein files sounds like a great way to stop doing hard work and get back to making tons of money podcasting... Image
Grain of salt but if the deputy director of the FBI resigns and says it's because the attorney general is directing a cover-up you kinda need to have congressional hearings at that point...
Bad state of affairs that the deputy attorney general had to come out and deny Laura Loomer's claims within the hour of her making them...

1. A Fox host told Trump over lunch two weeks ago that Iran was days from a nuke, which he apparently believed over the denials of the former Fox contributor he made director of national intelligence.
2. Then Trump woke up on Friday and saw wall-to-wall positive coverage of Israeli strikes on Iran, and decided he wanted some credit.
3. Now the former Fox host Trump named Secretary of Defense has the U.S. military marshaling forces in the region while a different former Fox host has been in a scorched-earth fight with the first Fox host to capture Trump's attention and stop it.

1. I'm going to thread out the very odd sequence of events that led Fox News anchor John Robert, theoretically a "straight news" guy, to pretend the early hours of June 7 actually happened a day ago in order to avoid pointing out that Donald Trump was wrong about something.
2. A few hours ago at the White House, Trump was asked when he last spoke to CA Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump replied that they had spoked "a day ago."
3. In response, Newsom denied the call had taken place.

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration.

She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic."

Gonna thread some of her lowlights.
Pirro stands out, even among the long list of shills and propagandists Fox employs, as a diehard Trump sycophant. In 2018, my late colleague Simon Maloy wrote that her "advocacy for the president is so aggressive that it often borders on insane -- some of her commentary would be at home in an authoritarian state media apparatus." mediamatters.org/jeanine-pirro/…
Just a deranged level of demagoguery:
