This is a big deal, the kind of award that's a real feather in the cap -- because the public service Pulitzer is for stories that actually changed something for the public good. And it's the kind of story no one seemed to want to touch. Congratulations, ProPublica! Go donate for more great journalism! ProPublica won the prestigious public service Pulitzer Prize for what the judges described as “groundbreaking and ambitious reporting that pierced the thick wall of secrecy surrounding the Supreme Court to reveal how a small group of politically influential billionaires wooed justices with lavish gifts and travel, pushing the Court to adopt its first code of conduct.” The prize is given to the staff of a news organization that performed “meritorious public service.” It is the seventh Pulitzer Prize for ProPublica. The Pulitzer Board also recognized a collaboration between The Texas Tribune, ProPublica and FRONTLINE as a finalist in the explanatory reporting category.

It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?

In an interview with Mathew Littman of MeidasTouch, Rep. Ted Lieu had something to say to Democrats who are planning to stay home this important election year. "I ask you, Congressman, right off the bat: democracy is on the ballot this year. What is the single biggest threat you see on the horizon?" Littman said. "I'll give you two.

I hate to break it to Jesse Watters, but no amount of time in jail is ever going to give his buddy Trump a "prison body." On this Monday's Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox, Watters brought on attorney Katie Cherkasky to discuss Judge Merchan finally threatening Trump with jail time if he continues to violate the gag order, and Trump's whiny response outside of the courthouse, where he pretended he'd be happy to make a "sacrifice" and go to jail. Here's Watters once again helping Trump with his attacks on the jurors, and pretending that Trump would actually be getting some exercise other than golf-- which seems to be the only physical activity he gets right now, when he's not riding on a golf cart and has to walk a few steps to swing at a ball-- if he were locked up: WATTERS: This judge is really, really on the side of the prosecution, and apparently this thing's going to go on for weeks.

Above, The Monkees perform, Gonna Buy Me A Dog. Harry Truman is alleged to have said that, “If you want a friend [in D. C.], get a dog.” We wonder if the NYTimes has one? Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3 says that the NYTimes buried the lede. No More Mister Nice Blog posits that the NYTimes coverage of President Biden is more dangerous than the coverage of disgraced once-elected (kinda?), twice impeached, quintuply-indicted, 80-something-ily charged LOSER ex-prznit Stupid. Juanita Jean's looks into the diapers. A tweet that shows us it really is a cult. Bonus Track: Colossal gives us some art of the dog.

Donald Trump has been crying ever since his criminal hush money/election interference trial started as if he feels so privileged that he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions. So, we have to listen to him whine that he's under a gag order. The thing is, Lumpy feels that he should be able to lash out at witnesses to undermine the trial.
