I feel like we’re about 10 minutes away from learning that Katie Zacharia isn’t her real name.

This is outstanding. @markjacob.bsky.social was my editor for a long time, and you won’t find a better or smarter journalist. Credit to the NY Times for giving him a platform to tell them how badly they’re blowing things, but more credit to Mark for being a fearless voice for good journalism.

$90? Call me when Trump's midterm voter bribes get better | Opinion

Hold out for better Trump bribes, people. If he agreed to abolish ICE and deport Elon Musk and Stephen Miller to the moon, a deal for my vote could be made. But only if ICE abolition and moon dispatch happen before Election Day. My reasonable column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Republican candidates are lucky to have President Donald Trump on the midterm elections campaign trail offering voters all kinds of free things.

It is @cheekface.bsky.social Day on my feed, so I'm imploring everyone to get on board: "When I first heard and saw Cheekface, with the band’s rhythmic pop and joyful, funny stage presence, it echoed back to the first time I heard and saw Talking Heads in the 1984 concert film 'Stop Making Sense.'"

Yes, no former First Lady ever thought to do nothing and only occasionally be seen in public with a look of utter disdain for her loutish husband. #Innovator #Disruptor

Yes, he’s very stupid and very evil, but it’s important to not lose sight of the fact that he’s also very gross.

I hope you all will read and share this column. It’s important to celebrate art that meets the moment, and to support independent artists like @cheekface.bsky.social:

Extremely rad and inspiring to see a band that is fun, very political, and 100% DIY get this kind of press and acclaim.

Good protest music is here. Meet Cheekface | Opinion

Also, here's our awesome video package on @cheekface.bsky.social, using concert video from the great @treegirl.it.com! (not sure why no thumbnail is showing up - sorry, I blame tech billionaires) www.usatoday.com/videos/opini...

We should be grateful Cheekface held a mirror up to our present day and created a truly relevant protest album.

Cheekface has given America the Trump-era protest album it needed, holding a mirror to the cruelty while never losing a sense of humor. I talked with @cheekface.bsky.social band members before a recent show in Chicago. You must check them out: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Cheekface lead singer and guitarist Greg Katz performs at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago in September with a large Cheekface banner visible in the background.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Hold up, folks. This is actually pretty believable. I got my "No. 1 Dad" mug in China, and it's 100% legit.

New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is a conspiracy kook. She embodies the disturbing reality that the GOP wants everyone to accept. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Why Trump is going for Zelenskyy’s jugular

No matter how much America’s allies urge the president to back Ukraine, he cannot forgive its leader for showing up his dealmaking impotence
