Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

A reminder, FDR never belittled Winston Churchill for showing up to the White House in battle fatigues during WW2, when they were being attacked by the Nazis. He also didn't strongarm him for Britain's mineral rights..when we were on the side of the good guys,

Trump is basically stupid and lazy and doesn't really give a crap about much beyond petty concerns. What it is beginning to worry me more are Musk and his ilk. It's like dad with dementia giving away your family inheritance to a stripper.

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur.
Or BOTH.

Trump is following through on his plans to jack up costs of drugs to appease his billionaire backers after Biden took on Big Pharma and won. He lied to Americans and doesn't care— only what's best for himself and his ultra-rich friends."

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

In pardoning his son, Biden said: "I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice."
May his worries about raw politics and injustice lead him to do more while he's still in power.

Of course corporations are the first to OBEY. Turning back on diversity rights in employment. Walmart, Baskin Robbins etc.
They have caved to the fascism of conservative pressure.
Let us make them pay for it.
