Check out the podcast entitled “Slow Burn” about the origins of Fox with interviews of people who have worked there from the beginning. One thing that stood out: while other outlets have “viewers” Fox cultivated “fans”. Explains a lot

She cannot help but slide a barb in the middle of all that sincerity, which really demonstrates her being pissed off she even has to do this. Her piety is so clearly phony. I will be working to elect her opponent in 26, no matter who it is

I do not recall this level of hand wringing over Reagan who, we learned, had dementia while still in office. You have to wonder what and who is gaining from this. Meanwhile the current president is a total mess

Absolutely with you on this. Frustrating to see how easily the shiny object of Joe Biden can move people off of the dangerous greedy nut jobs running the govt

Our paper said Miller Meeks would hold town hall. Her office said they didn’t know when. You can tell they are being prepped as both MMM and Hinson said word for word the same thing on deportations: “too many to hold hearings” essentially supporting no due process

Why were there 6 agents there for this? How is it than one of the officers rode in the elevator with the person and his lawyer? What is this really about? And will the media report on it fully ?

As a psychologist I say work on it with someone reputable. As someone who experienced it, I say it takes time and creating a fulfilling life. As someone in her 70’s I say time and life keeps moving and old hurts dim with that movement

I like the concept that we cannot sit in a state of “sedentary agitation”. Get up and do something !

Correction: I just read local media said “thousands” were at Davenport Iowa protest. Additionally cars passing by on the one way street were honking and cheering. Q to R representatives, are you paying attention ?

Does this mean his name doesn’t match what is on his birth certificate? Does that mean he loses voting rights under the SAVE act that Congress is considering ?

We are witnessing the formation of a regime.
The Signal leak is more than a glimpse, it’s a blueprint. Trump’s playbook isn’t chaos, it’s control: crush the press, bury diversity, reward obedience, punish defiance. Where loyalty replaces law and truth is whatever power says it is.
