The smash-hit Broadway play "Good Night and Good Luck" will be broadcast live on CNN and streamed live on CNN.com at 7 p.m. ET tonight. Although set during the McCarthy era in the 1950s, I suspect that its relevance to today will be unmistakable. It's free, and you won't need a login to stream it.

I hate how people talk about "polarization" as the problem this country is facing. Meaningless centrist euphemism. The problem is Nazification! Polarizing in a hard line opposed to Nazification is in fact the solution.

We have a crime syndicate in charge of our government.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

Indeed. And as a former resident of Gastonia, can I just say I'm not surprised.

Looooool, get on the bus this morning to take us from the hotel to the Ford Museum and all the driver and convention assistant can talk about is the meltdown yesterday. This thing has legs, and if the Dems are smart, they’ll hammer it incessantly.

These folks need to seek an immediate court order seizing and auctioning off Jones's assets for their benefit. He needs to be left without so much as a pot to piss in.

Americans under 25 have no idea how anomalous and deranged it is for the news to report obsessively on the persona and psychology of the executive with respect to matters of policy and governance. This is not even remotely normal.

☀️Good morning—release the Epstein files, protect the victims, hold those implicated accountable, regardless of political party or status.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Not only not on today’s front pages across the country, it’s not even on the @nytimes.com front page.

In short: the US President & his top donor got into a public fight over who could control & steal more of our assets for their personal gain.

toad you

I feel seen.

San Antonio's police chief now admits that he shouldn't have said that the killing of "King of the Hill" and "Parks & Rec" actor Jonathan Joss wasn't a hate crime. Good. wapo.st/4kT6Bcs

ANYONE who thinks ANY group should accept fewer human rights than everyone else is totally unfit to serve as an EHRC commissioner.

Just because Jason doesn't like Freddy anymore doesn't mean he's suddenly good for campers, you know?

Just a quick observation on #Unbound. Unbound did not steal author royalties because Unbound is not an independent entity. *People* in Unbound made explicit decisions over and over again to funnel received money towards other projects or cash flow or whatever instead of paying author royalties.

Khanna says the word “progressive” a lot but aside from that, is there any reason he should be described as one?

A non-Muslim white male shoots at a party, killing one and wounding about a dozen others, and the national media can't be bothered.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

The problem with Elmo spilling on what he did to cheat the election for TACO, is that it would be an admission of serious fraud. However, and this is important, DOJ would have to admit it’s true to pursue Elmo, and there is no way it will do that.

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

When will you have a town hall? Granted, your constituents won’t lob softballs like these.

Eighty-one years ago today, the greatest seaborne invasion in history took place at Normandy. More than 2,500 soldiers were killed on that day, with another 7,500 wounded. But it was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and global fascism. Remember: Fascists are the bad guys. Always.

Create a vaccine that could save lives? Trump and Republicans: Nah. www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

Mock them without mercy.

why not decommission it the usual way: launching it into a million pieces over protected wetlands
