the optics of Trump building a ballroom while laying people off and jacking up healthcare costs for everyone is a rich tapestry for an opposition party comfortable with doing good propaganda

A shining example of the NYT penchant for trying to cobble together opposing elements to get the most views.

It’s useful for reuniting pets with their homes, and sometimes finding a good handyman. That’s about it.

Has America become so soft and woke that we can't appreciate why all of our top generals need to leave their posts and fly to Virginia to be lectured by the Fox News weekend host about the warrior mentality?

When you use β€œexperts say” that phrase is superfluous and it actually tones down the rest of the statement. It is mathematically impossible. Period.

This is an issue with most coverage of Donald Trump. He lies and makes impossible statements. Media reports then come up with β€œsome experts disagree”.

The Roberts Court Is Winning Its War on American Democracy Chief Justice John Roberts has now overseen 20 years of increasingly illiberal rulings by the Supreme Court.

For our October issue I wrote about the Roberts Court for its 20th anniversary, how it helped lead us to the current crisis, and what should be done about it:

It's open season on Democratic lawmakers: Republicans say nothing. But they do have a lot to say about anyone who doesn't mourn the hateful racist civilian. Hypocritical filth.

THANK YOU COLIN Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent autopsy for Trey Reed, a 21-year-old student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, after police initially told his family he died in his dorm. The move aims to ensure transparency and accountability. (nypost.com)

Trump and other Republicans, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, have labeled the Democratic Party a terrorist organization, and anyone on the left as terrorists. This bill could possibly give Rubio the authority to revoke the passports of Democrats and others on the left without due process.

From the article: β€œthe secretary of state would be able to deny passports to people whom they determine β€œhas knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.” /1

He was a white supremacist; he was also a misogynist, a homophobe, a transphobe…he was a Petri dish of hatred and elitism. I believe journalists knew that and considered themselves to be intelligence agents who could decipher him. He was much better at controlling them than they were at seeing him.

This worked well for John McCain, meeting with them after hours in his Senate office like he was the Coach, even inviting some of them to his Arizona home. Russert should've worn a collar

β€œPlease send your workers to train their replacements at our beautiful new American factories, and then get the hell out of our country if they know what’s good for them” is quite the sales pitch, isn’t it

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.
