A lesser known Orwell quote is a better motto for the Trump administration: "People have trouble sleeping at night because rough men are doing violence."

It's early days.

One clown getting replaced by another will be a popcorn-worthy event. It will also be a good test of how tightly Trump controls Congress coming at a time when it appears to be waning.

Yes, it's always the PR blowback for Trump. Although he calls all the shots, he wants his people to maintain the illusion that none of the bad shots came from him. OTOH, he takes credit for all the good shots. It's a delicate dance.

Could it be that Bari Weiss doesn't argue in good faith?

Just dumb. You may be sick of winning but the rest of us aren't.

Yes, it's called Election Day, 2028.

Yes but I didn't need the additional goat info.

"One Battle After Another" on HBO Max. Tarantino-style bombast with an alternate history featuring non-white (except for Leonardo DiCaprio's character) vigilantes against Christian Nationalist ICE types across generations.

Was Epstein Trump's first assassination? Has anyone looked into Trump's past to find unexpected deaths of his enemies? And how long before he feels free to go after his more prominent domestic enemies? We know he wants to.

So if we don't find any extraterrestrial bacteria on meteorites then we can conclude there are none in the solar system? Unless, of course, earth's bacteria all came here that way.

Works on any text, right? Not just "PDF Text". You might also replace a sequence of tabs by a single space. The possibilities are endless, which might be a good reason to stop now. LOL

Please don't tell us the etymology. Please.

I was thinking that fake fish would have an easier time keeping pace with the train.

Perhaps Brian Stelter has been captured.

Perhaps it would be more practical to project sea creatures on the tunnel walls. Some kind of long, thin version of the Las Vegas Sphere.

Seems inevitable that this administration would place "think" in its "woke words" list. Even putting it next to the macho "tank" wasn't enough to save it.

This administration doesn't even refer to violations of our own Constitution's laws as "illegal acts", unless it's to punish a political enemy, so calling violations of the UN Charter "illegal acts" would have to come from a different universe than the one we find ourselves in.

Aw, she's just trying to be like all the cool, online kids.

I want Trump to take all the off-ramps. Just go. Now.

"And how long is 'lengthy' anyway?"

What if it is distractions all the way down?

Cultural objectives of the state too.

I agree, in general, but when a Democrat acts like a Trumper, it is worth reporting. The fact that the reporter was involved in the story is neither here nor there. It would be different if the reporter had done something deliberately so that she could report on it.

"She's nasty like a Republican" just doesn't do it for me. Of course, I am not a Texan.

If it was a bad call by a staffer we should get an apology from Crockett. Not going to hold my breath for that one.

It's yet another example of the mystery of our time. They do so many stomach-churning things every single day. How do their supporters not see things as we do? RFK Jr. says we should eat liver to save money. No one will care, really. Bannon was right, sad to say.

Sure, I know that. But isn't the current case a good example of why it is bad for a politician to block access to a reporter they don't like? I am not familiar with this reporter's work but, based on the comments here, it doesn't sound like it comes close to the "troll" level.

No politician should censor a reporter because they don't like what they write about them. They should let the reporter's readers develop their own opinion. Such censorship and access control is pure Trumpism and anti-democratic.

I took it to mean that she was left at a place lacking easy transportation out of there. Maybe she had to wait 20 minutes for an Uber or something. LOL
