I wrote an oped about Trumps culture moves ans why they are so important. Our cultural institutions establish the boundaries of acceptable discourse, defining what American society considers valuable & reasonable. If he suceeds in taking them over, we will have a much narrower path to defeating him

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority

November's election results solidified a reality that I've long believed: that the political conditions of America are determined by its cultural conditions. Its why in 2016 I left politics for media, and why in 2018 i co-founded my entertainment company: Culture House.

It’s not hard to predict what Carr would do at the FCC. Project 2025, posts, and interviews—he's publicly laid out how he would crack down on and intimidate traditional media, boost conservative media, and unleash disinfo on social. The result: An info ecosystem tilted further in Trump’s favor.
