I like how Krasner winning an almost unprecedented third term as Philly DA by stomping the walrus mustached city court judge who quit the bench to try to take him out first in the primary and again as a Republican in the general isn’t even folded into the national Dem sweep coverage.

It is maddening. No matter how much the "liberals" complain, write articles, make videos, write letters, we still get the likes of Bari Weiss making editorial decisions to let lies slide. Can't we get our own billionaires to buy a corporation that owns networks?
"The ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Trump showcased everything that is wrong with US political interviews in general. The deferential tone. The lack of preparation. The failure to ask follow-up questions or dig deep into answers. The inability (unwillingness?) to fact-check in real time."

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.
The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.
It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.
Until then, they're all to blame.

Yeah. Monumental corruption, lying to Congress, violating laws left and right, abusing the courts...2029 starts the reckoning, though some of these bastards will be dead by then. Natural causes, of course.
Basically the entire US government is now dedicated to just doing two things (1) making Trump feel important (2) making Trump Family insanely rich.
Johnson: "Together with my friend Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset we're going to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so we will jointly nominate President Donald J Trump for next year's Nobel Prize. No one has ever deserved that prize more & that is an objective fact."

Aided & abetted every step of the way by the national political media
The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.
