Yes! Either shut Fox down or stop playing fair.
MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds.

That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage.

Reposting so that I can find this wonderful piece of AI civil disobedience again if I need a laugh.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Maybe they can blow each other up real good. (Scary to agree with Bannon, but even a broken clock is right . . . )
2 of the worst people you know are fighting again🍿...

Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest?

How is law enforcement t supposed to work if agencies can’t explain their legal positions for why they’re acting or not acting. Trump really is a court jester.
