It's probably time to evaluate or re-evaluate who you might vote for in 2026.

It is true the Trump administration is in court trying to keep its Dept. of Ag from funding SNAP?

These are the kinds of decisions that impact MAGA supporters as much as anybody else.
More than 1,000 staff members at the CDC were laid off Friday, affecting units that respond to infectious-disease outbreaks, analyze science and health data to develop policy, and monitor the safety of employees.
Mass CDC cuts hit staff dealing with measles, Ebola and disease forecasting
Another round of mass layoffs has struck CDC. The agency had already been cut during a reorganization this year, and more employees are now being shed amid the government shutdown.

At some point Republican politicians will realize that this WH is damaging the lives of their Republican constituents as much as their Democrat constituents, yes?

If you meet soccer announcer Andrés Cantor, please don’t ask him to do the "Gooooaal!" call, on demand.

“It’s super nice to be recognized and to be asked,” he says. “But, I have to save the pipes.”

@johnshrader.bsky.social interviews the venerable broadcaster.

After almost 40 years, Andrés Cantor remains true to himself and his audience - Soccer America
Cantor called games on Univision during the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cups. He called all the games solo.

I wonder if Nexstar and Sinclair would rather have Kimmel be seen on YouTube and not on their ABC channels?

This is why Big Tech and big tech private equity are so happy to sit down for dinner with Trump.
TikTok’s U.S. business would be controlled by an investor consortium including Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz under a framework the U.S. and China are finalizing.
Details Emerge on U.S.-China TikTok Deal
Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz are part of an investor consortium that would control an 80% stake.

Congress could regulate social media companies.
They could regulate Big Tech.

The members of Congress choose not to. And that includes all of them complaining now about what is said or written about them and other people.

It appears our First Amendment Crisis is that some people think their First Amendment rights supersede yours.

This Supreme Court says it's okay to consider race and ethnicity in efforts by ICE to round up people off the streets, but you can't use race and ethnicity in efforts pull people out of circumstances, like getting admitted to a college or university?

Hannity is not stupid.
He plays stupid in defense of Trump.
“.. Let’s be clear: The so-called summit with Vladimir Putin did absolutely nothing to advance any American interests .. We got nothing. Appeasement doesn’t work, has never worked, never will work.”

— Sean Hannity, after Biden’s 2021 summit

The Russia Ruse
MAGA Media’s praise for Trump’s disastrous meeting with Putin shows it’s about propping up Trump and spinning his failures—no matter what.

As ICE deports US citizens, refugees, and legal migrants, Trump lifted visa restrictions on UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev—an ally of Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov—as a favor to his UFC buddies.

Welcome to the new American cronyism
