Democratic donors and party bigwigs dumped Walz overboard in favor of Klobuchar, and that's why he quite the race, according to multiple media outlets. Klobuchar, you may recall, was a major hand in dumping Al Franken. Stuff never changes, huh? 😑

LOL. Met Gala attendees don't pay for their outfits; it's one of the few instances where 'exposure' for an artist is worth it. AOC paid to comply with House rules and was nonetheless investigated for four years. Meanwhile, the average member of Congress beats the S&P 500 every year. Must be luck.

Really? How much journalistic experience do you have? "Newspaper companies" got duped. They thought that if they had product online for free, they were covered. It was a disastrous business model. They were handed their asses. And I lost my job. Again, how much journalistic experience do you have?

Great post! You're on the right path. There is power in knowing when to say no. I see all these motivational memes, like "Never quit!" and "Never give up!" Hogwash. The genuine talent is knowing WHEN to quit or give up, to save those energies for something else that may be better.

What journalism needs is a public willing to pay for the srrvices it offers. The Internet ruined that business model. I was a journalist and editor for 45 years. People would rather listen for free to an "influencer's" or comedian's twist on news than pay up for the real thing, delivered straight.

Regular folks think they are getting permanent tax breaks from the REPUBLICANS' "Big Beautiful Bill," which actually gives the PERMANENT tax breaks to the wealthy. Here's the TEMPORARY breaks for the Little People, all of which expire when Trump leaves office. WAKE UP, PEOPLE! (Source: NY Times)

No. Resistance is ALWAYS possible, especially once it reaches critical mass. It will begin to reach critical mass economically beginning this fall, and then the effects of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill will kick in. Then, it'll be Katy bar the door! THE DOLLAR is what moves Americans.

I have seen this behavior over and over in the past decade. It is undemocratic, controlling and damned near autocratic. They think they'll win no matter what. Been losing a lot of races the past 10 years acting like this! I'm no longer affiliated. We need more than the flip side of the same coin.

2.) The next undemocratic move for Martin was to try to pass NEW RULES retroactively so they could hamstring Hogg; 3.) Failing that, they seized on an election technicality to drive him out, since the fix was in. I have seen this behavior over and over in the last decade. (Continued)

This is an absolute travesty, and it is the Democrats reverting to their very WORST instincts to game plan everything in back rooms. That has NOT worked for the party in a decade, and it is disgusting. They ran Hogg out on a rail by making up new rules later to oust him. Screw 'em.

In April, for the third month in a row, there's a large gap between a 37,000 monthly hiring figure from national payroll firm ADP and the 139,000 from the Trump regime. "The New York Times" headline says it's steady – but government figures say it was down markedly from 177,000 reported in March.

IMO, Kristol is creating a scenario that does not exist. Musk is radioactive to Democrats. His biggest threat is to primary people against Republicans - but not for reasons Democrats can stomach. Not at all. Musk wants an even more draconian approach.

It is sad that nearly 20 years later Republicans are still trying to gut the Affordable Care Act instead of working to guarantee healthcare for all Americans. The gulf between the political class and what people want has never been wider.
