The Diplomat (TV Series 2023– ) ⭐ 8.0 | Drama, Thriller 50m | TV-MA

I don't know why more people aren't watching The Diplomat. It's such a satisfying old-school show, in the West Wing mold -- a completely engrossing political fantasy with real, fleshed-out characters & that old weekly-drama pace that I've really come to miss. And Kerri Russell *cooks*.

It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress.

But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Shameful.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Culture wars rock Texas historical site as Alamo Trust CEO resigns over research on role of slavery, indigenous people in state history | Fortune Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had particularly objected to Kate Rogers' 2023 doctorate in global education from the University of Southern California.

"Rogers noted that the book argues that a central cause of the war was Anglo settlers’ determination to keep slaves in bondage after Mexico largely abolished it."

The fact that the Texas GOP wants to control the narrative about the Alamo is by itself a reason to suspect the real story is racism.

Looking to speed up building network of migrant detention centers, Trump administration turns to the US Navy | CNN Politics The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a s

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps.

Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable β€” but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

Exonerations Grind to a Halt Under Chicago’s New Prosecutor - Bolts Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke has weakened her office’s already broken system for freeing the innocent, even as allegations of coercion mount against a former Chicago detective.

Exonerations grind to a halt under Chicago's new prosecutor Eileen O'Neill Burke β€” despite a 77-page report documenting that Detective Brian Forberg and his partners allegedly coerced witnesses in 24 cases. All defendants are Black. 18 remain in prison.

I'm sorry, why are the media giving cover to the president by saying that the escalation in the Caribbean vis-Γ -vis Venezuela is about drugs? It's clearly about the fact that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and a regime change to privatize those benefits Trvmp and his donors.

Trump hit his lowest approval rating on the economy *ever* this week. And not only ever in his history, but ever in *any* president’s history.

Trump is wildly unpopular, and the economy is his single worst issue.

Don’t forget it and don’t treat him like he’s inevitable. He’s not.
