This is more embarrassing than just lying.
Like a true Trump cultist, Fox Business News' Larry Kudlow opens by saying they don't care if Trump lies about the economic numbers, as long as he's optimistic.
"I don’t care if the numbers aren’t precisely right. The optimism is precisely right."

Wonder Man is great. I’m biased because (the first episode at least) is mostly set in Highland Park and I was doing the Leo point the entire time. But it’s good!

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Animation ruled streaming in 2025. Again. Nielsen data shows 'Bluey' repeated as the most-watched title across all genres, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' was the most-watched movie, and Seth MacFarlane won the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year award.

When I was in elementary school a teacher told me OJ was innocent because "with PhotoShop I could make that glove any size I wanted" and I sometimes wonder how she's doing in the age of AI

It is impossible to have a mass movement without cringe, because the masses are cringe. You have to not think you’re better than everyone else to be a part of a mass movement. Cool is inherently exclusionary, you can’t win mass politics with cool.
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
Resistance Is Cringe
But it’s also effective.

He argued with civility. It's a start.
What disagreements, exactly, was he bridging via his work and words?

you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools
the left very clearly views support for mamdani as a litmus test - does party loyalty run both ways?

Capitol is the building, capital is the city. Or money. Or a big letter. Or something British people shout. What I’m saying is we’re not giving capitol enough to do.
