Since Trump is the all-time “waste, fraud, and abuse” champ, we should retire the phrase. If we really want to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse we should get rid of the MAGA regime—and before that, boot out the do-nothing MAGA congressional majorities

Still reading NYT, Washington Post??
Still paying for that Amazon Kindle subscription? Or buying stuff from all these big stores, big brands?

Take the pledge (easy to do since they have nothing worth watching) .. never, ever watch ABC or CBS. These companies have no value if very few people watch. Do not watch those who enable totalitarianism.

Fans, celebrities and Democratic politicians expressed anger and disappointment after ABC announced that it was pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air indefinitely, saying that the move amounted to censorship and was an attack on free speech.

NBC: “At a real estate conference in Tel Aviv — Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the destruction in Gaza could be turned into a lucrative real estate opportunity, echoing past remarks by Trump…”

Israeli finance minister describes plans to turn Gaza into a 'real estate bonanza' as bombs hammer the enclave

Bezalel Smotrich’s comments mirror earlier remarks by President Donald Trump, in which he envisioned the U.S. turning the Palestinian enclave into a “Riviera of the Middle East.”

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
