[Murdered By Crayons 🖍️ @CrayonMurders]

@NathanJRobinson I’ve been ringing the alarm bells about this since his arrest and I got my hands on his Romanian case files.

He sued me and several others for it.

Even sued lawyers representing his alleged victims. Claimed it was defamation. Now he’s suing X trying to unmask us + appealing.

The Trump admin intervened on Andrew Tate's behalf!

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

New Yorker exposé of Andrew Tate is even more horrifying than what we already knew. According to it, he raped and beat a 15-year old girl and bought her off with teddy bears. Tate was promoted by Tucker Carlson, Don Trump Jr., and Musk suggested he should be UK prime minister

Graham Platner will have you know that the only person whose sexual boundaries he violated was his WIFE.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?

PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.

@DOWResponse Methodists should not be permitted to serve in the military until they stop gaming the system to let church out early to beat the Baptists to lunch

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

Interesting. Fifield thinks the NYT made her allegations against Platner seem less corroborated than they actually are.

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

Smotrich shouldn't be walking around free, let alone parading in NYC.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York.

Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.

Trump is trying to use federal funding to bully blue state governors into commuting the sentences of MAGA criminals. And whenever he feels like he's won, he'll do it more.

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

Polis is playing the free speech martyr, but really, he acquiesced to Trump's ruthless pressure campaign to free Tina Peters that targeted a major research facility, clean water, disaster relief, and SNAP.

[Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ @JesseAPaul]

Gov. Jared Polis, fresh off being censured by the Colorado Democratic Party for letting Tina Peters out of prison early, showed up today to a private, internal party call like this #copolitics

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

Polis set a terrible precedent. State criminal charges are the last bulwark against MAGA crime. Trump can pardon federal crimes and now he's dangling $1.8 billion in front of the goons who stormed the Capitol on J6.

On May 4, The Washington Post won two Pulitzers. To stream the announcement live, the paper had to bring back two of the video operators it had laid off in February. Nobody left in the building could run the equipment. They walked past the new opinion studio on their way in.

The new opinion studio was built with $80,000 in video gear. Its flagship podcast has 515 YouTube subscribers after 186 videos and more than 20 episodes. Apple Podcasts users have given it 2.3 stars. The most positive review on record: "This is bad and the people making it should feel bad."

Dave Jorgenson, the journalist who built WaPo's TikTok presence, left last year. His personal YouTube channel now has 358,000 subscribers. The opinion podcast has 515. A former WaPo journalist working with a small team has built more than 600 times the audience of the flagship new show.

Bezos was warned by his own opinion editor that the rightward pivot would cost subscribers. His documented response, per the New York Times: "I don't care."

The piece's own summary is the only sentence needed: "Bezos laid off the people who win the Pulitzers. He's funding the people who lose the subscribers."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — He spent 37 days in a rural Tennessee county jail for posting a meme about President Donald Trump. Now, Lexington, Tenn., resident Larry Bushart — who was finally freed following a NewsChannel 5 investigation — will collect an $835,000 settlement from Perry County, his attorneys announced Wednesday.

Massie promoting a debunked claim about a doctored screenshot purporting to show the DHS X account was located in Tel Aviv. Even if this wasn’t obviously fake what sense does this even make lol

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

Contrary to popular belief, narcissists are not immune to suicidality. In fact, their high but unstable self-esteem may set them up for periodic emotional crises when their inflated self-concept is threatened by reality in ways they can't deflect, like prison.

My latest for @MSNOWNews: Why the Epstein Suicide Note is Probably Legit: https://t.co/HuJS87HmMQ

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

The note doesn't prove that Epstein killed himself, but if genuine, it demonstrates conclusively that he considered suicide because he didn't want to be locked up. He wanted to choose his own time to say goodbye. Life in prison was "no fun" and "not worth it," he wrote.
