He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Every newsroom needs that one person who will say "Whoa, whoa, wait a second," when everyone else is excited about something dumb.
As newsrooms shrink and some of the most experienced journalists head for the door, it's obvious lots of newsrooms are now missing that person.

For folks trying to figure out if they can get a Covid shot: I got mine yesterday with no hassles. I just walked into my regular pharmacy and asked for one. I didn't have a prescription; I didn't get any questions about special medical concerns. I just asked for one and got it as usual.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."
They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.
