@kevinmkruse.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialIf Democrats retake the Senate, Warren will surely become chair of the Senate Banking Committee and, as such, in a position to investigate, humiliate and ultimately destroy Scott Bessent.
@donmoyn.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialOver the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.
@anthonylfisher.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialABC News' lawyer told a judge the network is tempering its election coverage because of government threats. The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real...and expanding.
@juddlegum.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.social1. Trump’s new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is a prolific user of Truth Social where she regularly promoted Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies, accusing elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood of running child sex rings and eating people.
@froomkin.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialThis should be the lead story with a screaming headline on every news website: “Trump sides with Putin in Ukraine war.” “After a long, friendly chat during which Putin offered Trump a political lifeline, Trump called for Ukraine to surrender.”
@newseye.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialThis is how you write a headline.
@froomkin.bsky.socialI dunno. Maybe it’s time newsroom executives told Trump to go fuck himself, and told their reporters to stop treating him like a normal president. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/b...
@froomkin.bsky.socialQuestion reporters should be asking every Republican elected: Your president trusts Putin, praises Putin, is beholden to Putin, and wants to help Putin annex more of Ukraine. What are you going to do about it?

@froomkin.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialTrump has picked a side in the Russia Ukraine war. News organizations should make that clear. And every single Republican running for office should be forced to answer whether they, too, support Russia, and how much of Ukraine Russia should be allowed to rule.
@djrothkopf.bsky.socialReposted by @froomkin.bsky.socialRussia is resupplying Iran with missiles. Guess who is, in effect, paying for those missiles when we pump $$$ to Russia for diesel? That's right. Another masterstroke from the genius-in-chief.
