Jared and Ivanka may have given up on Gaz-a-Lago for now, but they have now set their sights on building a humongous resort in a protected area in Albania.

Albanians are having none of it and have been protesting for days. They accuse Prime Minister Edi Rama of kowtowing to Trump and selling out the country.

Despite having to compete with wars in Ukraine and Iran for attention, the anti-Kushner demonstrations have been making news in Europe. This article from France 24 is typical.

Albanians protest Jared Kushner-backed resort plan on nature reserve

The protests against the Kushner mega-resort may be crystalizing into a full-fledged political movement. It's already being called the "Flamingo Revolution" (Revolucioni i flamingove) by some.

Tommy Vietor and Jon Lovett at Pod Save America spent the first eight minutes of this podcast talking about the Albania situation and framing it in the context of corruption and greed by the Trump Crime Family.

Lovett was an a deserving vacation, and it’s great to have him back. With the legacy media in step with corporate interests, profit margins , and shareholder returns rather than being the harbingers of an imperative freedom bestowed graciously to the American people by flawed men with better intentions than their actions would imply, his voice is as treasured as ever.

There was a time (I’ve heard) when a person, or people, would broadcast current events in an attempt to inform a populace as to the happenings abroad and in their area, that they may want to be aware of, or they could affect their own lives.

A team of journalists and investigators would draft a series of facts and occurrences, documenting them for future reference in preparation to share with the public at large. This final report would be printed, scripted, or televised, reporting on what had transpired. This relay of facts would provide the citizenry a window into the subject matter. Once presented to the people it was up to the individual to form their own opinions on the facts that they received and do what they will with those facts.

I believe they called it , News.

Now when one turns on this modern creation dubbed, “News”, for ongoing particulars, in large part, when one subscribes to platforms burdened with the unrealistic chore of trying to fill a 24 hour cycle, a sanguine and consequential role, a chosen duty for those who wish to be a guardian scribe for historical and cultural knowledge, has found its content watered down, thinned with omissions, deluded with opinions, tainted with bias which fit the narrative of whatever corporate overlords would benefit from the availability their public consumption.

With the mass consolidation of channels limiting the avenues where one can access entertainment, sports and current events, without the influence of one tycoon or another, becomes rarer and rarer, to where some venues have become political arms (cough Fox News cough cough) peddling in little actuality, saturated with partisan bias, manufacturing a version of a story far from objective truth and tiptoeing on a tightrope on what’s real and what serves the interests of the ownership.

This autocratic rule over the purveyors of public knowledge distorts the entire apparatus and facts generally. When the data presented from one appendage varies from another, trust in information transforms into which version laid out fits the narrative one wishes to hear, rather than what is objective reality, creating a divide where one can choose the circumstances formed to their ideals.

This has weakened the gift given to the American people in having a free press. Distrust of the other side, the question of motivation, and skepticism of reporting has left a void where alternative truths find respite, and leaves a population cynic of what’s portrayed to them.

It is in this moment, when the old hand defenders of a free press have lost credibility, which new stewardship of this so pertinent of liberties will find themselves desperately needed.

The torch has slipped the grasp of organizations who’s reverence to the accuracy in the dispatch they convey falls short of precise and screwed toward the conglomerate hence it came, and firmly in the grip of a new media, an independent media beholden to no one, no editorial dictatorship censuring from on high, still vulnerable to persuasion from fame and fortune, but safeguarded by those with integrity and pride, honor and courage, duty and respect.

This new breed journalism will steer a distrustful and weary citizenry away from corporate interests and closer to the interests of the people.

Many times the harsh reality of objective reality is best put forth with humor. A comedic approach to the absurdity we find our nation bumbling in, a satirical expose which blunts the edges of acute topics one would otherwise despair in hearing, but can nervously chuckle with.

With the source of knowledge of our times shifting, I myself am thankful for these purveyors of communal wisdom. Shows like Lovett or Leave it, Last Week Tonight, The Daily Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, allowing us to laugh rather than cry. To spreaders of societal consciousness like Pod Save America, Frontline, The Meidas Touch Network, Brian Tyler Cohen, Ezra Klein, The Bullwark, and many others. May their offensive against misinformation be fierce, and their defensive of truth be impregnable.

To all those who hold truth to power. Thank you!

Harvey discussed his enjoyment of ASMR videos on Jon Lovett's Lovett or Leave it podcast.

He looked cozy onstage in his AllSaints florelle jacquard cardigan, showing off the temporary tattoos still on his forearms from his 2025 Critics Choice Awards look.

Jon Lovett: Do you think Donald Trump is giving off big Borg energy?

Jeri Ryan: NO. The Borg’s whole thing was perfection. We would stay as far away from this guy as we *possibly* could.
