Can we please stop the obsession with a young woman hanging around Trump and obsess over the far more dangerous men such as Stephen Miller, for starters?

It is important to understand that Trump is not the cause of the enshittification of America. He is a consequence. Unless the system is fundamentally changed, the enshittification will continue even after Trump is long gone.

Remember: Graham Platner assured all of the people around him, all of the people pouring money into his campaign, that there were no more skeletons in the closet. He is a reckless selfish dishonest abusive man. Something we knew already IF YOU HAD BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

I just saw hot dog buns that were advertised as "100% whole wheat with no added trans fats." That's really good marketing because if I know anything about hot dog eaters it is their universal commitment to the top nutritional standards.

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

Stop calling everything a distraction. It's not funny or clever. It's insulting to people's intelligence. It minimizes what is actually going on. It also discounts that some politicians are just evil and stupid. Sometimes I wish I could slap people through the internet.

Democrats Should Release Their 2024 Election Autopsy – and Stop the Gaza Denial
DNC officials told us their own data had clearly shown that the party's policy on Israel-Palestine was a 'net-negative' in the election. But the DNC refuses to share those results with the public.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
