Brent Toderian
brenttoderian.bsky.socialâIn a monologue, Mr. Colbert called the settlement a âbig fat bribe.â He got word heâd been canceled just days later. A week or so after that, the deal was approved. However CBS attempts to characterize the Colbert decision from now on, thatâs what people will remember.â CBS cancels itself.

kylegriffin1.bsky.socialNYT confirms â with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

End Citizens United
endcitizensunited.bsky.socialSB 2471 has been signed into law! Itâs the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Courtâs Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.
Congressman Greg Casar
repcasar.bsky.socialThis is big news. The far-right Supreme Court hijacked the Constitution to let corporations spend in our elections. But we are not powerless. We can fight back.
Tiffany Muller
tiffanymuller.bsky.socialThis is a big deal. Hawaiiâs Governor just signed SB 2471, which diminishes the corrupting influence of corporate dollars and dark money in the state's elections, into law. This is the beginning of a new wave of reform that returns power to the people.
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)
newsjennifer.bsky.socialMany excellent points in this @froomkin.bsky.social piece including: read the black press on this renewed attack on voting rights. "As in the 1950s and 60s, the Black press is revealing what the white press is slow to acknowledge."
Scott Horton
robertscotthorton.bsky.socialFroomkin is right about all of this: today too much of the media is averting its eyes from the experience of Black people. Too much coverage treats this extraordinary and consequential display of racism and societal regression as if it were just an ordinary political battle.
