This piece is disgusting, and of course no comments were allowed on it
The reporter who wrote this, Shawn McCreesh, is on the record as saying about journalists in the Trump era:
“We’re not supposed to be the resistance.”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The crowd at Charlie Kirk’s memorial stands up and cheers when Vice-President JD Vance says:
“I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life.”

charlie kirk was a loser, a grifter, a racist, a bully, a misogynist, a gun-violence apologist, and a blot on the political landscape—to imagine him lying in state really sums up the disgrace & shame of this nation

There is no inherent virtue in home cooking from scratch, home cooking from semi-scratch, frozen meals, take-out delivery, take-out pickup, dine in fast, dine in slow. Each comes with trade offs.
But don’t do the expensive thing and say it’s actually cheaper and more ethical. That’s all.

Let people bring their pets. Forcing them to choose between cooling down and staying with their pets means people and pets die.

I’m particularly annoyed when people make fun of us northerners when we get heat advisories in the 80s.
OUR HOUSES ARE BUILT TO RETAIN HEAT. People die when it’s 82 degrees outside all the time. It’s no joke.

Please stop listening to James Carville. The only way this guy is going to help you win elections is if you have a time machine and the elections are in 1992.

I’ll cover this more at length in my newsletter but it doesn’t make sense to argue against Democratic primaries when you have guys like Carville saying the problem is “preachy females.” Dems need to actually have that debate and say “hell no.”
