I suppose I could have posted this on the journalism thread; but posting here on the politics thread instead -- because it is about what happened in politics today.
Today, independent journalist Aaron Rupar (atrupar) watched and clipped all of these things and posted them for everyone. In one single day, he did clips of these events and/or public interviews about these events:
Supreme Court dismantling the Voting Rights Act;
Hegseth testifying in Congress about his (mis)handling of the military;
Tr*mp doing a thing with the astronauts at the White House that he made about himself and not them, and during which the press asked him questions about many topics;
Another statement from officials about the suspect from the Correspondents Dinner;
people talking about the bunker-ballroom that Tr*mp wants to build;
more of Tr*mp's unhinged social media posts;
various officials who were guests on news shows on Fox, MSNow, CNN, etc,;
Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota;
dispute about the leadership of the Federal Reserve;
a new indictment of James Comey;
and some other stuff.
All this happened (or was discussed publicly) within one day. Well lots more happened worldwide, but that's what he posted clips from.
There was an interview with atrupar a while back - he watches multiple channels simultaneously all day, clipping whatever seems relevant and then posting the clips in real time.
I don't normally promote anyone -- but this seems more worth subscribing to -- better than some other things. I do like that he posts his clips on bsky and twitter for everyone to read for free, and takes voluntary donations. I don't have a bsky account but can read all his public posts without logging into anything.
I also like that he gives his honest opinion (left of center) and doesn't do the "both-sides" bull.
("Public Notice" is the name of his website that has articles and opinion columns from various contributors.)
