NASA Memo Sparks Echo Chamber; No Missions Canceled, Official Says

Keith Cowing explains how a verbatim NASA CFO memo about SMD/OMB budget information was posted and then echoed by Politico, leading to misinterpretations and a broader narrative about mission cancellations. He stresses the memo described routine information gathering, not canceled missions, and notes NASA PAO responses were slow or unclear, fueling confusion as coverage cascaded from the memo to a press event and public discussion.

"Trump's Last Stand: The Final Bloodbath"

The media's recent uproar over Donald Trump's "bloodbath" comment is being criticized as cynical and dishonest, with accusations of taking the comment out of context to create a false narrative. Despite the controversy, Trump's remarks were related to the automotive industry and did not suggest a call for violence. Critics argue that the media's treatment of Trump's words reflects a larger issue of bias and dishonesty in political coverage, while also highlighting the divisive nature of political discourse in the current climate.

Russia Expels Politico Reporter, Sparking International Outrage

Russia has expelled Eva Hartog, a correspondent for Politico Europe and former editor-in-chief of The Moscow Times. The Russian Foreign Ministry did not provide a reason for her expulsion but stated that her visa would not be extended and her press accreditation would be transferred to Politico. Hartog is the first foreign journalist to be expelled from Russia since the country's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This comes after Russia's vow to respond to EU sanctions targeting its state broadcaster and pro-war bloggers.

Ron DeSantis Fights Back and Emerges as a Contender in Republican Race

He also launched his presidential campaign this week, raising $8.2 million within the first 24 hours.

Controversy Surrounds Politico's Profile of Casey DeSantis as Lady Macbeth

Politico is facing backlash for a "hit piece" against Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis, titled "The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability.’" The article quotes anonymous sources who criticize her role in her husband's inner circle, and also invokes a comparison to Lady Macbeth made by Trump loyalist Roger Stone. Critics have accused Politico of sexism and hypocrisy, as the outlet previously criticized the use of the Lady Macbeth trope against the spouses of prominent Democrats. Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to launch his 2024 presidential bid next week.

The ongoing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop and its impact on US politics.

The ongoing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop and its impact on US politics.

Politico has not responded to requests to change its headline from October 2020, which falsely implied that The New York Post's reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. The headline was based on a letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials, including Antony Blinken, now Secretary of State, who reached out to former acting CIA Director Michael Morell to organize the letter. Morell testified that the letter was used to help Joe Biden by deflecting accusations about his involvement in overseas influence-peddling schemes. The authenticity of the laptop has since been confirmed by multiple news outlets.
