Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

There's not one Republican congressperson who would accept a Democratic nominee for ANY cabinet position with this boar's immoral background and lack of qualifications. They'd be pontificating about God and morality and inexperience to Hell and back.

My screenplay "On the Corner of Eden and Grace" was just selected to be part of the Feedback Female Film Festival, 2025! A coming of age story , from a teenage girl's perspective - most tales of the 60s are about the guys. Name a book, film or play from the 60's from a girl's point of view.

Can we please retire the words “womanizing” and “womanizer?” Women are not objects to be acted upon and those who treat women as such should be more aptly described. Who has a suggestion to replace these words? I’ll start. Exploiter.

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

You know, this reminds me that I’m old enough to remember when some people were saying that Joe Biden was so out of it somebody had to be running the government for him

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

The incoming administration may or may not reduce the size or scope of government.

But it will absolutely become the biggest protection racket the world has ever seen.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:
