Unreformed writer. I’m so old my pressbox seat was behind Red Smith. Left T***ter the day the oligarch slithered in. Civil liberties, good. Corrupt judges, bad. Corporations are not people.
It’s disheartening that so many people have been taken in by the fake Epstein-Nassar letter — an amateurish plant by the Trump Syndicate. Critical thinking is such a scarce talent these days.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Dammit, is there no Democratic leadership with a lick of sense? Is there no one with the clout to tell Janet Mills we don’t need a 77-year-old Senate candidate in Maine when we have Graham Platner, 41, a Middle East war veteran with charisma and momentum?
Susan Collins thanks you, Chuck Schumer.

"As comical as many of Trump’s comments were, the president’s nakedly partisan appeal to U.S. military officers was a violation of every standard of American civil-military relations, and exactly what George Washington feared could happen with an unscrupulous commander in chief."
The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief?

Extortion is this MAGA mob’s favorite tool of governance. Republicans say they’ll fire federal employees sent home in a government shutdown, rather than furlough them temporarily as in prior lockouts.
Fear is the MAGA weapon of choice.
Callous brutality. Heartless savagery.

The fascists in the White House have effectively repealed the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) with their masked ICE thugs.
Now they’re voiding the First Amendment (freedom of speech and expression) with threats against schools, news outlets, businesses. ABC (Kimmel) is the latest victim.

🤥 tax us with useless tariffs
🤥 abolish job bargaining
🤥 assault excellent scientists
🤥 drive allies to the orbit of enemies
… in just 220 days.

The Great Dealmaker promised 90 deals in 90 days. So far, it’s 2 deals in 172 days. Now he’s begun to use tariffs as his personal cudgel to soothe a fragile psyche.
Befotre this ends, we’ll pay dearly for putting power in the hands of an immature, dishonest egomaniac.

The Big Ugly Brutality shows us cruelty at a 1-to-1 ratio: The Republicans in Congress are cutting The People’s healthcare by $930 billion to pay for their handout of $910 billion in tax cuts to corporations.
Clearly, The People of America are under attack by Oligarchs and their enablers.
