When the Catholics were supporting Trump JD was just fine with it. The “right” (which is merely a term of art at this point) have used religion for DECADES. Trump went full Icarus. Their wings are melting.

I am hopeful that by the time we get into the true primary we are looking at enough dynamic options that Newsom becomes an also ran. He serves a good purpose at the moment. He could do well as energy secretary. But 2028 calls for dynamic future vision.

Dear Maxx: We can’t pay you much. But, you could be a passing down merchant. You could play with a HOF tackle in the middle. A HOF coordinator, head coach, TE, and a QB who still has the chance to be THE goat. - Kansas City PS: Tell Brady we will give him the 1.29 if you can touch your toes.

The new “Muppet Show” on Disney is excellent. I think it’s going to be a massive hit. It’s perfect for the moment. It’s had the chance to be a monoculture show.

Honorable move by the owner. Also, I assume that means the owner likely said something like “Anything he needs right now, let me know.” Then that came back “Booze.” Essentially.

The level of propaganda flowing through Facebook is truly amazing. I have intentionally liked or commented on posts that are CLEARLY of opposing views just to see. So I get all angles. It is a candy store for the uncritical thinker.

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing. This is Project 2025

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Okay, now is the time. Dems - release the filibuster on the CR, make the GOP pass it (they said they will…) and own the cuts. You stood up, they refused to negotiate. Cite air traffic as the reason to reopen the government, avoiding chaos in the skies because chaos in Congress is bad enough.

You’d think at some point, maybe, the Democrats would point out that Trump is hoping to kill Obamacare. The ACA is legacy, it’s the biggest middle finger to Obama he can give.

In the book 1984, which I don’t believe most people who say they have read it have actually read it, the government has an entire agency that just goes back and edits documents to match the current needs. This is precisely that.
