Venezuelans celebrating Maduro’s downfall is understandable, even if it’s a little like celebrating the cat burglar breaking in.

What’s Music? (And Why AI Isn’t) The discussion about artificial intelligence and music usually starts in the wrong place.

SCOTUS building with Trump’s name on it.

Reading Trump’s Christmas messages, I’d say we’re in a critical national emergency. The problem is we’re like a lung cancer patient that continues to smoke. We did this to ourselves. We re-elected the cancer. It’s voluntary cancer.

I’d be out the door if I got that. There’s no future in a place led by confused people.

Not just dumb, MAGA dumb.

We Never Change This week we celebrate a simple story.

Jim Beam halts production as Trump continues to mishandle economy. “ We need the certainty of tariff-free trade for America’s only native spirit to flourish.” Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association.

You kind of knew the Epstein Coverup was going to be clumsy and half-assed. It always is when these guys try to hide truths.

It’s no accident the Epstein Coverup is releasing files during the Christmas holiday season, using the birth of Christ to hide the abuse of children.

Trump is a convicted felon. Do you see the Al Capone Center For the Arts?

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

I’m not super connected to the social zeitgeist—is there conversation about Arianna Grande’s obvious eating disorder?

RFK states polio vaccine killed more people than polio. Another science finding, heroin killed more brain cells in that guy’s brain than normal.

The revelations are shocking.

I’m as sick of the Epstein Files like everybody is sick of the Epstein Files. I’m going to wait for the movie.

“I think they’re trying to keep Grandpa busy.” Jamelle Bouie on current WH strategy

There’s something so weird going on. I’m talking about the way rightists look. All the women look the same. All the men look the same. It’s all plastic surgery and pumping iron.

President Stephen Miller addressed the nation this week.

JFK died in service to this nation. Trump had a mysteriously healed ear nick. And someone else died.

We have a robust GNP because of investment in AI, and seriously rising unemployment numbers. Get it?

It’s Citizen United, stupid.

This week’s Trump speech reminded of old Soviet propaganda—all 5-year plans and everything is working.

Picture of Donald

Let me make this perfectly clear. The phrase let me make this perfectly clear is overused.

Don’t be shocked at the lowIQ incompetence of Donald’s admin. It’s part of the plan. Put idiots in charge then undermine our republic and push us into full regressive unregulated governance that creates massive wealth for a tiny elite. It’s a plan 30-years in the making.

American foreign policy is now a two-bedroom condo deal in Queens.
