It still sickens me this bigot mocked a disabled reporter and millions of Americans said, “No big deal. That’s who I want as president.”

Just listened to Greg Sargent’s interview with Margaret Sullivan on his podcast about the plane swap. I would give anything to know how the big mucky muck in media respond to her indictment of their treatment of Trump, and why can’t we know? No one can I ask them?

I’m really looking for some help in trying to figure out why they keep saying the Democrats’ brand is so damaged. I mean to me, they are between a +2 - +8, while Republicans are between a -2 and a -10 ?? I’ve heard they’ve gone too far to the right and/or too far to the left.😖

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Re; Chiles v Salazar Sotomayor & Kagan’s reasoning centered on the belief that the law violated the First Amendment by engaging in viewpoint discrimination, as it prohibited counseling aimed at changing sexual orientation. What if they start a religious conversion therapy and then ban it?

Good. It wasn't going to say, 'we were overwhelmed by a flood of disinformation that we had no capacity to counter and it was the culmination of our donors not investing strategically in media for the past 40 yrs.' I don't wanna hear whatever BS they'd say about Biden or pronouns or girls sports.

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):
"I guess I have a very different view of the dangers and real-world consequences of your position than what you explored with Justice Kavanaugh. My understanding was that independent agencies exist because Congress has decided that some issues, some matters, some areas should be handled in this way by nonpartisan experts—that Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and transportation and the various independent agencies that we have. 

"So having a president come in and fire all the scientists and the doctors and the economists and the PhDs and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything is actually not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States."

Is the RNC the assignment editor for CNN? “Kirk embodied the GOP’s newfound populist conservatism in the social media age” I think the “GOP’s newfound populist conservatism” started with Truman integrating the military followed by Brown v Board.

I find the most annoying thing on social media is when you see a post that you really feel the need to comment on only to see the comments are limited and you cannot comment. I think if you cannot comment on a post, it should not be visible to you.
