(NEW YORK) — Former vice presidential nominee and Alaska governor Sarah Palin is accusing the New York Times of defamation over an editorial that linked one of her political action committee ads to the mass shooting that severely wounded then-Arizona Congressman Gabby Giffords. In the lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court Tuesday, Palin’s lawyers say the Times “violated the law and its own policies” when it accused her of inciting the 2011 attack that killed six people. The lawsuit refers to a June editorial in the Times on the recent shooting of Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise (skuh-LEES’).

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 05/01/2024 - 08:26 AM

    The Justice Department said yesterday that it had recommended easing restrictions on marijuana in what would be a major change in federal policy. Yes, it will take a while and no, it won't make it legal, but it's movement. Via the New York Times: Even though the move, which kicks off a lengthy rule-making process, does not end the criminalization of the drug, it is a significant shift in how the government views the safety and use of marijuana for medical purposes.

    Before there was Fox News, before there was Rush Limbaugh, before there was the sprawling rightwing ecosystem of fake news and vicious smears we so enjoy today, there was the National Enquirer. For most of our lives, the Enquirer stared up at us from the checkout aisle of our local supermarket.

    The collection of mooks that make up the current MAGA roster is what many of us saw coming years ago. It's been a long death spiral, highlighted by "I'm not a witch" and "2nd Amendment solutions," "palling around with terrorists" and "s*thole countries."Most recently, a puppy killer.
