After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I didn’t expect it to be so easy to quickly pick out which MAGA people are Russian assets, but here we are. Not a surprise. Tucker Carlson, MTG, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, …
Let’s not go to war with Iran, but also let’s remember why these people don’t want us to.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to Peter Thiel, avowed enemy of democracy.
While we fight to bring fascists to heel,
Keep an eye on one Peter A. Thiel.
Spending cash in the dark
Makes his power more stark—
With an oligarch’s smug, even keel.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?
The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.
