are you out of cheesecake

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Trump wants the Taliban to give Bagram to the ghost of, like, Gorbachev???

Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash

NYT: “Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border czar, was recorded in Sept 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later shut down by Trump admin.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

One thing I wish all Democrats knew is that we don't expect you to be fearless. We expect you to be brave. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid and moving ahead anyway.

If you find that you are neither, then it is time to step aside. There are people who can do this job ably.

Patriot aired only 2 seasons on Amazon Prime and is one of the top 10 televisions ever produced.

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.”

They bend the knee without even being asked.

Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Political violence tears at the fabric of our democracy. This is horrible and wrong. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

Experts Say The Gun is Smoking. These Trump Supporters Aren’t So Sure.

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

This is awfully ominous.

Two things are true:

1. This isn't an image DHS created. They're (troll-ing-ly) turning a Spectator cover *into* a recruitment poster here, which isn't indicated in the screenshot below.

2. Not sure why DHS would promote an image where the officers are wearing…historically distinctive…helmets.

THE ICE AGENTS ARE WEARING FUCKING NAZI STAHLHELMS

WHAT THE FUCK

COME ON, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

Not to mention Texas Democrats’ candidate for Governor.

“SEAL Team 6 launched a failed operation in a nuclear armed country run by a mad man, but don’t worry, nobody told me, the President, anything about it” — Trump’s reflexive denial not really doing him any favors here.

Credulous media will cost us the Republic

Also, no. The Dept of War was something entirely different — it was just the Army. There was a separate Dept of the Navy. (Also, it was never an agency.) The DoD brought together both and added the Air Force and the structure of the Joint Chiefs.

This tweet is wrong in a bunch of ways that matter.

which is true? who can say, we're just a news outlet

An Astrologer’s Messy Affair With a Trump Pentagon Official The vet sued Amy Tripp, known as Starheal, after she allegedly texted his wife, “He won’t get confirmed. He’s cooked.”

This is the key point lefties gotta embrace when it comes to building journalism/media projects.

It’s not hacky to say abortion is healthcare, climate change is real, gun violence is bad, and queer people & immigrants are human beings, because those things are TRUE.

And journalism should be true!
