I can think of a particularly good one!
WaPo is no longer an option that I feel good about but I want to continue getting a physical paper delivered to my house as I've done my entire life. The other options seem to be NYT, WSJ and USA Today. Should I subscribe to USA Today?? I must be truly desperate if I'm even considering this

I actually think the instincts of Liberals have blunted the effect of all the Epstein stuff, because what appears to be true is too insane and conspiratorial for them to believe. It feels dumb and low class to believe the president was being blackmailed over underage rapes.
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

Single smartest thing I think blue states could do is go on a MASSIVE home-building spree, bring down rents, and precipitate a massive multi-racial Second Great Migration.
Provide shelter for the sane and strip the lunatic states of their power in the House.

I've always loved this little phrasebook for new (Jewish) immigrants to New York. It's got Yiddish instructions on joining a union! (The right-most column is English transliterated into Yiddish).

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.
Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Being an elected official in the United States is such a garbage job that only the worst people in the country want it. The best ones are gigantic ego maniacs, but the majority are just kinda average people who can't figure out how to gain notoriety doing anything else. It's a huge problem!

I'm kind of shocked that anyone is still proposing technocratic solutions to the "debate" over immigration. Even if this were a good idea (and it is not), Republican elites and media will never tell their base about it. You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem!
