This is false. The chapter did not “accidentally” quote Hitler. Accidentally quoting Hitler is when you don’t know Hitler was the speaker. The chapter quoted Hitler *and attributed the quote to him.*

The @NYTimes is deeply committed to downplaying what the Right is doing. Image Associated Press, June 22, 2023: “The first version of the newsletter included the quote, ‘He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future,’ and cited Hitler.”

This timeline makes clear that the story is "JD Vance is lying about a veteran's military service," not "Tim Walz under fire over military service" and any journalist who centers the later instead of the former is despicable. The New York Times is helping JD Vance swift boat Tim Walz by privileging Vance's lies.

The real story is that JD Vance is lying about a fellow veteran's military service for political gain.

is Donald Trump still running for president Image The New York Times is just *willing* this into existence.

I remain ambivalent about who should be the Dem nominee but there is nothing ambivalent about my view of what the New York Times is doing here or the lack of proportionality it is bringing to its Biden/Trump coverage. Image

The Supreme Court Stephen Breyer served on gave GW Bush the White House, gutted the Voting Rights Act, overturned Roe v Wade, and invited corporations to flood our elections with cash. It was a tool wielded by America's political minority to impose their will on the rest of us.

The 14th amendment's prohibition on insurrectionists gaining high office is a hell of a lot more clear than whatever the 2nd amendment says about guns.

Maybe Congress should have to specifically enforce the 2nd Amendment in order for it to have effect. Barrett's opinion reads like she's auditioning to be the fourth-most-pointless Washington Post columnist. Image

This is amazing. He thinks he can just casually sneak the private jet trip to Alaska there in at the end and nobody will notice. CLARENCE THOMAS: These free luxury vacations are totally ethical because the GOP donor who takes me on them is a dear friend! It’s just what friends do!

SAM ALITO: This free luxury vacation is totally ethical because I barely know the GOP donor who took me on it! ImageImage

why do you have a doorbell Image I mean yes okay this guy is a fucking psychopath but also it seems like he could save himself some anxiety if he just got rid of his door bell. They aren’t mandatory you know?

This letter from John Roberts to Durbin is basically "fuck you," but less honest Note Roberts says won't testify to congress because of the "importance of preserving judicial independence."

This is bullshit. Judicial independence does not mean -- cannot mean -- that the Judiciary is immune from accountability and oversight.

Justices are not kings.

ah yes, left-liberals, famously commfortable with Sean Hannity Image When we started Media Matters in 2004, we launched with a report that critiqued 33 television segments & print reports spanning more than 3 years.

17 of the 34 were from Sean Hannity's television show.

"Libs" do not like Sean Hannity. mediamatters.org/legacy/backdat… Image

Elon's gonna try to pizzagate former twitter staff Image (For the record, I dunno if Lesley Podesta is actually related to John Podesta -- not that it would matter -- but you should assume it's true just because the idiots are saying it. Again, not that it would matter.)

Again I am not a lawyer but based on @alexstamos's thread if the FTC isn't investigating by morning I want to know why.

Periodic reminder that Twitter for years allowed Donald Trump to break its rules, because *Twitter was not a liberal company* even before Musk. And Musk/Taibbi/Wiess aren't releasing info about *those decisions,* because they are right-wing propagandists.
cnn.com/2019/07/15/tec… Musk and his witless lickspittles can dredge up all the out-of-context slack messages about someone nobody's ever heard of and misleadingly tweet them, but nothing changes the fact that on the biggest content issue it faced, Twitter again and again let Trump break its rules.

When he was on Oversight, Rep. Dan Burton shot up his vegetable garden trying to prove Vince Foster was murdered and refused to eat soup in restaurants because he thought that's how you get AIDS.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Moore v. Harper, a case in which Republicans are pushing an undemocratic scheme that would allow state legislatures to unilaterally change the rules governing elections.
New resource from @TakeBacktheCt: stopthescotuscoup.com Ideally I will live-tweet tomorrow's oral arguments about the "independent legislature" scheme, but the Supreme Court has RUDELY scheduled them for 7 am west coast time and I *really* enjoy being asleep at that time, so here are a few advance notes just in case...

Despite:
* Historical mid-term trends
* Highest inflation in decades
* Two years of media hyping crime & inflation as *the* two issues
* a host of structural advantages (Senate, EC, etc)
* SCOTUS decisions helping them gerrymander, suppress votes, and more 1998 and 2002 were better years for the WH party than 2022 is going to end up being, but I can’t think of a midterm in which the out party has performed worse relative to its advantages than this one.

Just a *massive* failure by GOP/success by Dems, given the context.

if Fetterman holds on, will all the national news companies run special editions devoted entirely to mea culpas from their various reporters and pundits who suggested voters would find his stroke disqualifying? Or will they space them out, one a week for a year? UPDATE:

While we await results, here’s a brief thread about something that tends to get lost in the shuffle when we talk about election outcomes: The right-wing Supreme Court tilting the electoral playing field in the GOP’s favor. (1/15) I’ll start in 1976, with Buckley v Valeo, in which the Supreme Court declared that in campaigns & elections money = speech – thus advantaging the party of big business and wealthy special interests. (2/15)
