You should elevate this to its own post, not a reply that fewer will click through to find. It’s a valuable insight on its own. Good thinking!

Living in Missouri under the toxic GOP is like being Jamie Lee Curtis in “ Halloween”.

Living in Missouri under the toxic GOP is like having to ride in an elevator that stops at every floor and the other guy in the car continually farts.

If the Times oped smells like desperation — DING DING DING. Daddy Ellison is hedged beyond his means, and David knows it. He needs to influence somebody, anybody, into approving this last big play. Or it's back to being just Skydance. Great reporting: www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-house-...

Aug 3: David Ellison gives cosplay orc Taylor Sheridan license to broadcast his anti-NYTimes/journalism and anti-Ukraine/US isolationist screed to millions in new "Lioness" episode. Aug 4: NYTimes oped pleads "Trust me with the news." "Trust you with the news"? We can't trust you with a TV show.

Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.

$26 billion divided evenly by 343.6 million American men, women, and children yields $76 bucks each. A family of four would take home a skinny $304 total for a year of healthcare. Does Cassidy know what private insurance for a family of four costs??

So glad to hear someone call out the lay/lie distinction. I correct my kids all the time, but “lay down” is so ubiquitous in the culture and on tv (even spoken by characters who are academics) that it seems a futile battle. Now my pedantry is renewed!
