Congress is pushing website-blocking bills that would let private companies erase sites from the internet—based on nothing but a hollow promise not to abuse this new power.
Site-Blocking Legislation Is Back. It’s Still a Terrible Idea.
More than a decade ago, Congress tried to pass SOPA and PIPA—two sweeping bills that would have allowed the government and copyright holders to quickly shut down entire websites based on allegations o...

So, it strikes me that the objective of golf is to play as little golf as possible. Seriously, think about it! I've thought for decades that I'm a terrible golfer, but upon thinking about it. I'm one of the greatest who ever lived!!!! I honestly don't know how much less golf I can play!

This is Chuck.

Chuck is selling a book.

Chuck also has a full-time job.

I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not.

Don’t be like Chuck.

And don’t buy Chuck’s book.
It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.

Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.

Congress should believe Trump when he says he would use the Take It Down Act because he's "treated badly," despite the fact that this is not the intention of the bill. Tell Congress: Don’t pass this dangerous legislation.

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelinsky. He really humiliated the United States.
Another excellent Rothkopf piece.
The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...
