You must be kidding.

Trump says he’ll award Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Visiting my family in Phoenix. I always have to brace myself for the onslaught of this kind display. My Dad pointed that there aren't any flying anymore. He's right. I don't know what to make of it, but, MAGAts in the surrounding neighborhood have put their freak flags away!

I grew up in Seattle, but, my family always headed north to canada for trips. I didn't know what paradise was in our backyard until I was far too old to be just discovering iit. It will remain one of my favorite places on earth. Embrace your visit!

I'm finding establishment democrats as rigidly self-interested as those across the aisle. We are demanding progressive change and they keep serving up the reheated same old same old.

He is our modern day Edward R. Murrow. CBS/Paramount leadership lacks the spine of William S. Paley. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social will achieve a mightier platform that will make CBS late night look like the little league. #holdhisbeer #LSWSCwillnotbesilenced

My hair is on fire thinking about the women (Roberta Kaplan and Lisa Bloom for starters) who worked to discredit other women and advance the fuckers who abused them -- all while wearing the badge of advocates for equality. Special ring in hell for them.
