"Pivot to video" is synonymous with a desperate, trend-chasing strategy that sacrifices substantive content and leads to layoffs of talented staff to produce superficial videos to chase social media algorithms. Now it's NPR's turn. www.niemanlab.org/2026/09/npr-...

Remember when this shit-show began and they swore up and down they were only going after gangbangers and drug dealers? José Padilla has lived in this country more than 20 years and is a father of four. He was abducted and sent to an ICE concentration camp in January and finally released 6mos later.

Shame? Humiliation? Yeah. We knew that BEFORE ya'll put him in office Bill. His life up to that point sure as hell wasn't a secret. But you voted for him away. And what did it get you. Now you can't even afford to own the libs and have to just rent them space in your head.

More than 10% of U.S. residents now live in a different congressional district thanks to mid-decade partisan redistricting, according to a new report. Those changes cause voters to lose faith in U.S. democracy — and politicians become more insulated from accountability: demdock.com/3VmBBKi

This didn't happen overnight. Recalling when our local paper printed Obama's first presidential win on the bottom of page two. A decade earlier they were harassing local business owners over personal problems and proudly giving column space to bigots who shamelessly lied but were never called out. 🤔

To stop Miller we have to start at the top. “There’s some real animus towards the kids coming from Miller and his acolytes," the source told The Guardian. "He sees the kids as, like, the future generation that will, you know, continue a multiracial, multicultural vision of this country.”

"The trustees should let the center close, declare bankruptcy, and come to a sad end—all on Trump’s watch. Allow the Kennedy Center to fail in full view of the American public, and let them decide whether such things matter." Tom Nichols says Americans shouldn't bend to the hostage taker's demands.

As a child I was exposed to all that "end times" stuff as my folks sought answers to their marriage crisis through religion. Of a the sermons I heard and texts I read on the subject, nothing ever mentioned that it would be self-inflicted or that the "anti-christ" could turn out to be a computer.

This nation was founded on a union, and on this Labor Day, we’re reminded that the American worker, not Washington, has led to our prosperity. As one of the few pro-union GOP congressmen at the time, I’d rather celebrate the workers than the paperwork signers who gave us off today. (Link below)

If I were to pin blame for this on any one person, that person would be KY's Mitch McConnell. Along with his water carriers in the press back home who are still providing him plenty of cover.

After covid hit, our governor expanded mail-in voting for the 2020 election making it available to any voter on demand with no excuses necessary. Voter participation that year broke all previous records by a large margin. The state's GOP unceremoniously killed it the following year.
