Thomas Jefferson believed that religion is a private matter. Unlike House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose phony religiosity was on display yesterday when he misattributed a prayer to Jefferson. Jefferson despised people like Johnson.

I sent the following note to Time Magazine re naming trump its Man of the Year:
Disgusting. Vile. Nauseating. Craven. Your obsequious congratulatory note was the topper. As a retired journalist, I can only say that you've disgraced yourselves and disgraced the entire journalism profession.

Trump is seizing control of the investigative and prosecutorial powers of the state by staffing them with the most conspiratorial and blindly loyal nominees : Gaetz/Bondi, Patel, Gabbard.
Political retribution is his priority. The rest of governing he doesn’t care about.

This is why corporate media is flailing.
It is almost like this was predictable and yet there seems to be no self-reflection by the legacy media. Perhaps that is why they are losing trust, influence and customers.
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

Funny how the urge of these two partisan legal hacks to fight the federal government evaporates as soon as a Republican becomes president.

trump's selection of former MO solicitor general D. John Sauer to be US solicitor general won't draw as much attention as his other picks because he isn't incompetent, imbecilic or an out-and-out criminal. But he is an anti-abortion zealot who will argue anything in service of the MAGA cause.

If his first administration was the very definition of a kakistocracy, then what word can we use to describe the list of crackpots, incompetents, grifters, sexual abusers, seditionists, ignoramuses and imbeciles trump has picked for top spots in his second administration?

Seems like if nominees for Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence can't withstand an FBI background check, that's a red flag
