New Coke.

Coke wants to win over Pepsi drinkers so they make a new formula that tastes more like Pepsi.

Coke drinkers are mad. Give us our Coke back.

Pepsi drinkers don't switch. Because Pepsi tastes even more like Pepsi.

Stop being new Coke. It didn't work 40 years ago. It won't now.

Learn more about Hill and his impact through this project The Tribune launched to mark the 100th anniversary of his death.

That's it. Everything further I learn about Olivia Nuzzi will be without my consent.

Mr. President I'm not subordinate to you, and therefore it's impossible for me to be insubordinate.
“Trump called the inquiry about Khashoggi from ABC News reporter Mary Bruce a “horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question,” adding that “I think the license should be taken away from ABC, because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong.”

Trump defends Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

This is very important in the coming years. Something worse than Trump could emerge from the eventual flames of Trumpism. Anti-Trump doesn't necessarily mean good. Be ready to oppose this new GOP direction and listen to the marginalized voices when they speak about it.
I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

We have to be SHARP on the left right now.

It's amazing to think that a week ago I didn't know who Olivia Nuzzi was and now I know far too much about her life.

With every court case and vote, it is really starting to feel like as of now Trump and the GOP started and almost instantly lost a mid-cycle redistricting war.

For those wondering:

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT)
Peak: $97.54 3/4/22
YTD Peak: $42.91 1/13/25
Today: $10.78
At about 10:00 it was at an all-time low at $10.32

So... ya know. Not great.
Just like his poll numbers.

I need people... voters and politicians alike... in the MAGA camp to look at what is happening to MTG today. Donald Trump demands loyalty, but he doesn't reward it. He is OWED loyalty; he doesn't repay it.

Imagine being a Republican lawmaker and having to make halfway sensible policies that won't see the pitchforks come out from this senile blob's incoherent posts.
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Off a cliff? It was always gonna end like this or with full authoritarianism. Trump growing increasingly bitter and paranoid is the best possible outcome.
We are off the cliff folks

She's a rat abandoning the ship. She knows that Trump is old and that he won't let anybody else be the leader of the MAGA movement such as it is, and that it certainly won't be her since he wouldn't even let her run for Senate. So she's getting off and hoping to clean up the remains.
Wow. Marge is not playing around.

I mean first of all send Bill Clinton to the big house if he did anything holy shit.

But this really does reek of desperation. "There's nothing there" said the entire Trump DOJ until they need to distract from what IS there.
Breaking news: Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated she has appointed a prosecutor to examine the relationships between Jeffrey Epstein and other prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton, as requested by President Trump today.
Bondi says Justice will investigate relationships to Epstein suggested by Trump
President Donald Trump suggested the relationships between the disgraced financier and several prominent Democrats deserve more scrutiny than his own connections to Epstein.

MAGA doesn't and won't care that Trump raped little girls, no matter how damning the proof. But if he consensually blew Bill Clinton, that would be unforgivable. That's a sin against patriarchy.

Why do so many people spend so much time online hating a game/movie/etc. that hasn't even come out yet based on rumors and 30 seconds of trailer? Like, sure, YouTubers do it for engagement and views but what's your excuse? Just wait until it's out you freak.

I said in 2020 that Dems needed to spend the Biden Admin Trump-proofing the government, enshrining traditions into laws, clawing back executive power. They did not do so. Now we see what happens as a result. But I have no faith in their willingness to guard against authoritarianism in the future.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely
