Trump deregulated Methane to make oil/gas companies happy. We need Biden to re-regulate it to stop methane pollution.

I'm asking 500 friends to take 5 seconds to auto-email Biden, then retoot: https://bit.ly/3IrgLQ2

If Dems fail to make the #Palenstine #Ohio #train #derailment a winning issue, they have only themselves to blame. C'mon Prez Biden & Mayor Pete, let's do this.

In recent days I've seen every major paper write a version of the How Did This Tragic Train Derailment Become a New Culture War story. I didn't need to ask myself whether any of them gave the actual…

TPM – Talking Points Memo

So, I understand that everyone is fully aware of the insane Dominion stuff Maria Bartiromo was pushing through 2020 and then TODAY Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, aspiring GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, AND Democratic. Sen. Joe Manchin appeared on her show.

Super.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and then buy the pond. Tell him he can't have the fish, but he can fish for you and you will sell the fish and give him a very small cut, and then he'll say stuff like "I am hungry and my teeth hurt". Nobody wants to fish these days.
Just gonna leave this here.
In January, @dailykos announced a 20% staff layoff that violated our status quo protections. We demanded to negotiate. Today, these "negotiations" resulted in DKG issuing a cease and desist to Daily Kos for breach of agreement and bad faith bargaining.

What can/should Big Journalism do? For starters:

-- Fox "News" and its employees should be kicked out of any press organization or association in which they hold official status or membership.

-- News organizations that care about journalistic integrity should announce publicly that they will not hire from Fox.

Treating Fox as a legitimate news organization should have ended long ago. Better late than never, but if the craft won't do the right thing now, it never will.

Essentially the entire DC press corps -- like pretty much all of Big Journalism -- still acts as though the Murdoch family's poison-spewing Fox "News" does journalism.

Why?

So sad about Jimmy Carter. But he deserves rest. And they will say of him, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” No one demonstrated how to be a true servant leader better than Jimmy Carter has.

I’m not a big petition guy, but let’s put the squeeze on Fox “News”.

Demand Your Cable Service Provider Make FOX News Channel Optional!

My concerns aren't that FOX is conservative, but that FOX “News” is not news at all! It's an entertainment channel that seeks to do nothing but spread inaccurate propaganda. Court documents show that in 2020, FOX’s top brass knew that the election deniers they put on the air were peddling lies and were not credible, but they put them on anyway. Please help me do my part to try and stop this insidious organization from continuing to rip our country apart.I DO NOT wish to directly or...
