That marketing meeting with Timothée is insufferable and I think the whole marketing campaign is obnoxious and blows. Kudos for trying something new I guess but yeah I can't with it. I don't think his entitled behavior fairs well in our cultural climate today.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Only if they care about a just world.
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important to our democracy.

Public radio stations reach 98% of Americans. If they close, millions lose access to critical news.

Trump is trying to control not just what we do, but what we know. Be warned.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out.

Surrendering to the Trump regime's tyranny only invites more of it.

Paramount clearly seems to care more about getting a merger approved than its own integrity.

Catherine Rampell interrupts too many of her fellow hosts. As a guest she was great but as a host she is a bit annoying.

Who didn’t see this!! MSNBC apparently. The article blames it on live news trends but again psaki is knowledgeable but she isn’t right for nightly news. She isn’t engaging or have a likable or relatable personality. As a weekend show it works but daily, no.
🚨NEW: MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” reportedly suffers a sharp drop in viewership since its premiere.

Jen Psaki will be on Tues. through Friday - in other words dead air. I will not be watching. We need someone with soul to host through these hard times. Thanks @msnbc.com for murdering the life out of your network and letting go of the people who gave the public some hope.
