Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

The Man Behind Trumpโ€™s Push for an All-Powerful Presidency

Russ Vought is a very dangerous man.

He should be far better known for the threat he poses to the rule of law.
