Anyone who thinks Dershowitz is charismatic needs to touch grass more than possibly anyone else before.
CBS News is doomed no matter what, but Bari Weiss is going to greatly accelerate its demise & degradation. Under normal circumstances I'd say she'd be forced out in humiliation within a maximum of two years, but maybe the Ellisons will keep her there indefinitely to avoid their own embarrassment.

The Trump Organization is still headquartered in NYC. We know who actually holds the power in this dynamic.
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Very excited for Colbert to become more and more combative by booking folks like this as his cutoff date gets closer.
Also, no surprise that as big a John Prine fan as Colbert is, he knows who Jesse Welles is. Cut from the same cloth IMO.

Anti-environmentalism is like being antivax. You’re only in a position to say that because you have no concept of how bad it used to be.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

If I had a hundredth—nay, a ten-thousandth—of Elon’s net worth you would simply never see me online again. Why would you subject yourself to this if you have the resources to do, idk, literally anything else

Saw as pretty sizable meteor over middle Tennessee just before 7. Big green flash that lit up the whole sky and left a pretty good orange streak. Super cool.

Man, Todd Snider. What a loss to the Nashville community and anyone anywhere who likes interesting music. Playing my dusty old pile of vinyl records in tribute. And be sure to Play a Train Song.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

After a review of recent political history, I would take exactly zero stock in the working memory of the voting public, or Republicans’ willingness to come to any table. None. Zilch.
Why must every Democrat think this is still like, 2004?

Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.
