The chief counsel to Chuck Grassley, a racist scumbag named (tragically) Mike Davis thinks that yes, if people don't get off of their "fat ghetto asses" absolutely they should starve to death. Naked racism at the heights of power. We're a long way from the days when Trent Lott got run out of town.

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

I've long since abandoned any real hope of billionaires seriously funding a real progressive media outlet or platform but the other way you could launch such a thing is with some charismatic talent with pre-existing audience and (presumably) the financial independence to take risks. Just fwiw.
