What a badass.

Another great piece from @jordanz.bsky.social's newsletter. "DOGE is inadvertently making the affirmative case for government that Democrats have been unable to articulate since Ronald Reagan swept to power." www.progressreport.news/p/doge-is-cr...

Got some thoughts from #TheBachelor host Jesse Palmer about the Carolina-Dina situation: ew.com/the-bachelor...

ICYMI: If you're a soap fan and missed yesterday's premiere of #BeyondTheGates, rectify that immediately. (It airs daily on CBS and then streams on Paramount+.) My review of the first week: ew.com/beyond-the-g...

We're down to the final four already, rose lovers. This week on #TheBachelor, the Carolina drama continued and Grant chose his hometown ladies. My recap: ew.com/the-bachelor...

Happy Twin Peaks Day

Important news, soap fans: I've seen the first week of #BeyondTheGates, which premieres today, and it is GREAT. My review: ew.com/beyond-the-g...

Fix your sound issues, Netflix! ew.com/sag-awards-2...

Today’s #SweetValleyHigh self-care reading is On the Edge (aka the one where Regina Morrow tries cocaine once and drops dead) and Outcast (aka the one where Molly Hecht nearly gets run out of town for having drugs at her party). #JustSayNo

LOL we love to see it www.progressreport.news/p/elon-and-k...

Fascinating/infuriating report from inside NY State prisons during the wildcat strikes: nysfocus.com/2025/02/22/p...

Indeed, I was fired up by this interview with Beto O’Rourke: “Action is the antidote to despair.” www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/exclusive-...

William "🐐" Zabka shares his thoughts on the #CobraKai series finale, Johnny's redemption arc, and having Ralph Macchio call him a "p---y": ew.com/cobra-kai-wi...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Yep, this will end well. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

I hope Kamala Harris is having a nice day

WATCH: House AG committee chair Rep. Chris Todd still silent about Trump’s policies hurting farmers, especially in West Tennessee where he’s from👇🏽 🧑‍🌾 “Farmers in precarious economic positions as Trump executive orders put programs in limbo”: tennesseelookout.com/2025/02/19/b...

Congrats, Rocky — but I'm gonna miss watching this trial, tbh. ew.com/asap-rocky-n...

#TheBachelor host Jesse Palmer thinks Carolina and Juliana handled their group date conflict in a very "level-headed" way: ew.com/the-bachelor...

This week on #TheBachelor, Grant and his harem headed to Madrid, where everyone continued to direct their rage at Carolina — and one woman sent herself home. My recap is live, rose lovers! ew.com/the-bachelor...

Obsessed with these aggressively bored Madrileños who somehow got tricked into serving as the audience for a #TheBachelor group date.

Parisa's monologue about the forces aligned against her — a pimple, a curling-iron burn, a chippy spray-tan — was pure comedy. Love her. #TheBachelor

"I was a little bit selfish." Wait, did a star of #TheBachelor actually take a modicum of accountability for why his past relationship didn't work??

LOL #TheBachelor producers look nothing more than getting "disappointed women" reaction shots.

Rose is the epitome of the 2025 mood. #TheBachelor

[as my plane plummets to earth, everyone screaming]: “SO MUCH WINNING!!!!”

Nothing but respect for MY president 🇺🇸

The "pro-life" party just keeps owning itself. (From @jordanz.bsky.social's excellent newsletter) www.progressreport.news/p/insiders-r...

I know a lot of bad things are happening right now but I really need someone to do a reported piece on the epidemic of terrible veneers (a.k.a. “Turkey teeth”) in reality television, thanks.

Just emailed this to @booker.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov
