Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

There will likely be no moment of silence on tonight’s #Emmys, right?

So will 'Mexican Coke' now be called 'Coke of America'?

He also came up with the mottos, ‘Trust, but verify,’ ‘Swords into plowshares‘ and ‘Shama lama ding dong.’

Well, you know the fire wasn’t started by some driver carelessly filling his own gas tank.

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Here’s a tagline idea I offer free to the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences:

‘The Emmys: We give awards to stuff you’ve actually seen.’

Three below-the-radar Trump firings could have huge implications The president's Feb. 21 Pentagon purge took out the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Trump also sacked three lesser-known figures with crucial military roles.

It would be a blue state, wouldn’t it?

Is Jeremy Peters still employed as a politics reporter?

Musk Expresses Support for Far-Right Party in Germany’s Election It was not the first online intervention by Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and adviser to Donald Trump, on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.

From the looks of my social media, Hallmark Christmas movie parodies have officially jumped the shark.

Really looking forward to all those upcoming Infrastructure Weeks. You?

fwiw, I’m 67 years old and back when I played Little League, every kid on every team, no matter how good or bad, got an end-of-the-year trophy. So this isn’t a new thing and no one was small enough to criticize us for that.

Talk about ‘locker room talk.’
