Joseph Schafer (1867–1941) was the first academically trained historian in the U.S. state of Oregon. He studied with Frederick Jackson Turner, and chaired the history department at the University of Oregon from 1900 to 1920. He authored A History of the Pacific Northwest in 1905 and revised it in 1918; the book was considered the standard history of the region into the 1950s. .. more

CBS burying the 60 Minutes CECOT story is exactly why the Ellison family shouldn’t be allowed to buy Warner Bros. Discovery

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

Farewell to CBS News and "60 Minutes." It just went the way of the Washington Post's editorial page

Once you begin surrendering to Trump, he always wants more. You can’t appease a tyrant. Some thoughts...

New Zealand just recorded its first-ever day of zero coal- or gas-fired electricity. In fact two days, 20 & 21 December. (Still some co-gen, about 1.8%.)

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

Viewing this whole Trump nightmare from afar, it's truly amazing how anyone can make every single event about themselves. Somehow he manages to insert himself into everything. And while we're at it. Why the fuck is Jared Kushner anywhere near any US state business?

Everyone deserves due process of law except for people who listen to music or videos on their phone at volume in courtroom hallways. They can be ended summarily.

I guess I ran off an idea for a television show during a manic episode last night fuelled by cold medicine and my friend asked if I was going to write it this morning.

I don’t remember a single goddamn word I said last night.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"
