NEW: President Trump’s incoming White House press secretary echoed the debunked pizzagate conspiracy theory, accused Hollywood elites of being pedophilic cannibals, and said Michelle Obama had a penis in posts, reposts, and deleted tweets. (And more) cnn.com/2026/10/12/politics/…

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Tell the publishers to stop blocking @waybackmachine 🚫🕳️ savethearchive.com/newsleade…
Several local newspaper companies — USA Today Co., McClatchy, Advance Local, MediaNews Group, and Tribune Publishing — have begun blocking @internetarchive's access. That's more than 340 U.S. local news sites in all, a new @NiemanLab analysis by @decka227 and @HanaaTameez shows.

🕳️
ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.
