Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.

Trump quits his interview: "You're either crooked or you're stupid…Your elections are crooked. You're crooked. Meet The Press is crooked. And so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN…Alright, let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place

[ABC News @ABC]

President Trump announced he has issued a pardon to former Republican Rep. Stephen Buyer of Indiana, who was convicted of insider trading after leaving office.

Tourists in Mexico have a tense encounter with a black bear

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Pelley: firing raised in first 15 seconds. No resolution offered. Weiss openly hostile throughout. Then the disclosure - told repeatedly to include unverified assertions in stories. Refused every time. Then fired.

Weiss called it the path he chose. He did choose. He chose not to lie.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things.

Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do.

She fired him.

JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job.

The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting.

The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It begins…

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at USDA helps prevent threats like screwworm from ever reaching US livestock.

In 2025, it lost 1,300 employees due to cuts and firings.

That’s the thing about prevention: you don’t notice it when it works, only when it is gone.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

Journalists who have fought back against the administration's censorship have almost all prevailed. This lawsuit should be another winner.

There's no excuse for taking these attacks lying down. https://t.co/12kxMCHDFY

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:
