I’m looking forward to Stephen Colbert sharpening his knife over this year to show the capitulating Paramount what free speech is all about.

If you voted for Trump and depend on safety-net programs, congrats—you voted against yourself.
SAY IT PLAIN: ‘Overhauling’ means cuts.
📌 Trump’s advisers and Republicans are already planning to slash Medicaid, food stamps, and more to pay for Trump’s massive tax cuts.

the idea of endlessly commentating on these evil, rancid, huckster monsters as they strip everything valuable in the US for parts every day for possibly the rest of my life makes me want to go hide in a cave and cultivate knowledge of the orphic mystery cult

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.

The cutting irony is that the two big things Kamala supposedly “broke” and that Trump will “fix” - inflation and border crossings are…already fixed! He doesn’t have to do anything! All done!

i think my position on this is that if it happens, it's unconstitutional. if the supreme court affirms it, it's still unconstitutional. it's an illegitimate and unlawful action and should be treated as such.
Apparently Trump just announced he is unilaterally ending birthright citizenship.
I would have ridiculed it as preposterous a few years ago.
Now? Well, watch the Federalist Society start holding seminars on why he’s right, and I am not confident this Supreme Court will disagree.

I did my doctoral dissertation (1986) on the idea of a public informed by the press.
I'm not sure that idea survives this.

We'll never find a single Lefty Joe Rogan, but we surely could exploit the fragmentation media with more, smaller properties that speak credibly to our communities of interest that they could then use to drive votes for Democrats who support their issues, and hold Democrats accountable who do not.

Completely insufficient demand. The demand should be: "Fill all vacancies. Blue slips, tight schedule be damned."
After all, Amy Coney Barrett was nominated, vetted, confirmed in 30 days. Plenty of time to fill ALL openings.

people should stop thinking like pundits. thinking like a pundit is how you lose the ability to ask questions that don’t reduce down to “does this win votes?”
