The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

The State Department halting the scheduling of new student visa appointments is the latest escalation in Trump's attack on higher ed. To him, the only useful non-Americans are those who invest in his crypto schemes and global resorts or gift him a “palace in the sky” aircraft.

Under Biden, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) finalized a rule barring medical debt from credit reports. Under Trump, this policy has been reversed and the CFPB has even joined forces with corporate plaintiffs who have filed suit trying to block the rule. www.npr.org/2025/05/26/n...

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, sloth - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

Thanks to Trump's disastrous USDA cuts, DMV food banks have lost 1.4 MILLION meals and food banks nationally are struggling to meet growing demand. There's nothing "efficient" about taking food from people in need. It's just more cruelty from Trump and his cabinet of billionaires.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Republicans aren't throwing out their principles to support Trump, those principles were never real. They were cudgels. The core of Right Wing ideology is that there is a natural hierarchy of power. There are those who deserve everything and those who need to be penned in by laws and oppression.

Virtually every number or statistic Trump throws out on any subject - polls, election results, casualty figures, immigration, taxes, spending, economic, gas or food prices, - 95% of the time he uses a number for anything it is patently false and wildly exaggerated in his favor.

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is no way they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

A reminder that MAGA, like other authoritarian movements, is a death cult that has given up actual hope of things getting relatively better and traded that faith for catharsis and the brutal glee of knowing perceived enemies are receiving the brunt of the violence and humiliation.

Trust was America’s superpower in the business world as in international affairs. There are huge costs to us and to the world that will come from our loss of that trust. And make no mistake, it is gone and will take many years, perhaps decades, to recover…if that’s even possible.

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.
