“Thank you for making this city safe, because no parent should have to go through what my family went through,” #BennyJohnson told Press Sec Leavitt.
In fact, #police records show, NOBODY has been murdered since at least 2017 on the block Johnson lived in #Washington. And his home was NOT burned, though his next-door neighbor’s house was “intentionally set” on fire, acc/to the city’s fire department. Johnson left Washington permanently in 2021.

#BennyJohnson took the opportunity at the briefing to recount what he claimed was his own experience with crime in the nation’s capital in recent years. He said that he had recorded murders on a camera outside his home, & that his “house was set ablaze in an arson.” Any claims that #Washington wasn’t dangerous, he said, were “lies.”

He Plagiarized & Promoted Falsehoods.
The White House Embraces Him.#BennyJohnson, a #FarRight podcaster, has enjoyed rare access & promotion from the #Trump admin.
The day after Trump announced the #federal #takeover of law enforcement in #Washington, the White House invited the podcaster Benny Johnson to sit in what is called the new media seat at the admin’s press briefing. The privilege includes being called on first.

Whoa, yesterday, #Trump illegally stripped #CollectiveBargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers in 18 different departments across multiple #FederalAgencies.
The admin stated that “Certain Federal unions have declared *#war* on President Trump’s agenda.”

On Feb 7th, #Trump sacked the
head of #NARA, the agency that maintains the ofcl texts of the nation’s laws, & whose motto is “the written word endures.”>110k govt pages have gone dark in a #purge that one scientist likened to a “#DigitalBookBurning,” & which has proved as frightening in its imprecision as in its malice.

He started his interview w/ (formerly somewhat reasonable) #BretBaier by AGAIN thanking the American people for supporting Ukraine in its war w/ #Russia. “You helped us to survive,” he says.

…[#MartyBaron said], #Bezos’ closer proximity to #Trump at the inauguration & through #Amazon’s production deal on a #MelaniaTrump documentary did not appear to fulfill his public goal of increasing the #WashingtonPost’s independence. “It was a sign of dependence, not independence—the dependence of Amazon, #BlueOrigin & Bezos on Donald Trump," he wrote.

“It was only weeks ago that The Post described itself as providing coverage for ‘all of America,’” #MartyBaron wrote in his statement. “Now its opinion pages will be open to only some of America, those who think exactly as he does.”
…Baron also accused #Bezos of acquiescing to #Trump & the his attacks on the #press for his own business interests.

#Bezos said on Wed he would mandate the paper’s #opinions section to focus on supporting #FreeMarkets & #PersonalLiberties, saying those pieces w/opposing views can “be left to be published by others.”
The move was rebuked by current & former #WashingtonPost staffers, though it was praised in a trolling post by #Trump’s WH.

#DanBongino, podcaster, will be #FBI deputy director, #Trump said.
#Bongino, 50, who has worked for the #NYPD & the #SecretService, is a staunch Trump ally who has pushed lies about the 2020 election & other stories.
His appointment, which does NOT require Senate confirmation, means neither of the top two people running the agency has FBI experience.

#Disability employment #law, she says, requires "that the person with a disability must be able to perform the essential functions of the job."
And that's how it worked in the Biden Admin, says Kelly Buckland, who was the disability policy advisor to fmr #Transportation Secy #PeteButtigieg. Any hiring of people w/disabilities at the #FAA "would only be qualified people with disabilities, with the emphasis on #qualified."

The Inauguration, which was attended not only by the #tech moguls but also by a collection of #influencers including Jake & Logan Paul & Rogan himself, was the ceremonial introduction for the new #establishment #media.
For us Postmanites, then, Big Tech’s drift toward the right should suggest that the #mediums, whether #Instagram, #TikTok, #Twitter, #Facebook, or #Google, have been temporarily captured by the right.

There was a reason, he added, that #MikePence was not on the stage as #Trump’s running mate anymore.
And it was worth asking, he said, what that tells the viewers about #JDVance.
“America, I think you’ve got a really clear choice,” #TimWalz said, his eyes getting bigger, “of who’s going to honor that #democracy & who’s going to honor Donald Trump.”

“#Jan6 was not Facebook ads,” #TimWalz shot back, as #JDVance grimaced slightly.
#Walz had a question for his counterpart.
“He is still saying he didn’t lose the election,” Walz said of #Trump, turning grandly to #Vance. “Did he lose the 2020 election?”
“Tim,” Vance replied, “I’m focused on the future.” He swerved to a point about Covid & censorship.
“That,” Walz said, “is a damning non-answer.”

#JDVance had heard enough.
“It’s really rich,” he said, chopping the air w/his hands, “for Democratic leaders to say that Donald #Trump is a unique threat to #democracy when he peacefully gave over power on January the 20th.”
He moved to equate past Democratic complaints about #election outcomes, including invocations of Russian interference in 2016 through FB ads & other means, w/the response in 2020.

For all their occasional paeans to #civility on Tues, this was the moment that crystallized an unshakable truth about this #election: One side still refuses to acknowledge the #truth about the last one — the persistent falsehood that has come to define so much of the era’s fragile & rampaging #politics.

#JDVance pivoted jarringly to the subject of censorship. #TimWalz glanced up at the camera, silent, like a television character breaking the fourth wall.
“Well, I’ve enjoyed tonight’s debate,” #Walz began when it was his turn again, assessing an evening that was sometimes wobbly for him. He was about to enjoy it more.

“Remember,” #Vance said of #Trump, “he said that on January the 6th, the protesters ought to protest peacefully. And on January the 20th, what happened? Joe Biden became the president. Donald Trump left the White House.”
This accounting was short a few details—the #violence, the #deaths & #injuries, the alleged #criminal #conspiracy, the “Hang Mike Pence” of it all.

“What President #Trump has said is that there were problems,” #JDVance said when asked about his own past assertion that he would not have certified the 2020 election. “We should fight about those issues, debate those issues, peacefully in the public square. And that’s all I’ve said. And that’s all that Donald Trump has said.”
His debate opponent, #TimWalz, stared at him, unblinking….

But when the #debate turned, near its final frames, to the subject of the 2020 election, #Vance faced a choice: He could validate, once more, #Trump’s relentless #lies about his defeat 4 yrs ago. Or he could try something else in the spirit of moving forward.
It did not seem like a difficult decision for him.
