Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Obama Endorses Newsom’s Redistricting Proposal as a β€˜Responsible Approach’

Good for Obama.

Unilateral disarmament is not a sustainable strategy.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

Although China is suffering huge costs from the tariffs, you can bet your ass that Xi is smiling ear to ear.
When China's debt crisis reaches the tipping point, Chinese people will no longer blame the government because Uncle Sam is now the top economic villain. The best political gift ever.

This is one hundred percent a case of a man completely obsessed with the idea of tariffs being told "no, bad" by every single smart person around him, and the flip to "it's gonna cause some pain" rhetoric was when they finally got through to him.

But his stupid stubborn ego won't let him back down.

I think we can take him at his word and assume that he thinks that a shutdown is worse than no shutdown. It's clear that most of us think that he is wrong. I'll donate to AOC to primary him. We need stronger leadership

I know I keep banging on about this, but it's simply unfathomable to me that legitimate news organizations continue to participate in the WH press pool.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.
