Johnny Cash fought for Native American rights and even dedicated an entire album to them. When radio stations refused to play it, he took out a Billboard ad asking one question: “Where are your guts?”

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

I think it's safe to say that the weekend parades, social media posts, sternly worded letters and hanging out in front of government buildings isn't working; things are only getting worse.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!
His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.
What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

The thing that so many pundits miss bc they are so busy talking instead of listening, is that most people just do not want to be bothered and do not want to have to think about politics, especially culture war nonsense. It’s really not that deep.
It’s not that 2025 voters demanded wokeness, it’s that making politics all about wokeness is absurd.
The winners ran on affordability and freedom. Candidates that ran on bigotry (Cuomo, Earle-Sears) got wrecked.
If we must put it in these terms, the public is anti-anti-woke. State repression bad.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
