Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Just as you can not pick and choose when history starts to suit your own ends, once you set something big & awful in motion you cannot simply expect to halt it when it approaches your own moral limit of awfulness or ceases to serve your self-interest.

In exchange for getting to house migrants in El Salvador's notorious prison, the Trump administration agreed to give up top MS-13 cooperators, "a key step in hindering an ongoing U.S. investigation" into the Salvadoran government's relationship with the gang.

The British are not like American conservatives who support a politician who says, “It was a different time” (checks notes) in the late 90s. They. are. not.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Great work comparing the journalistic mission statements from Bari Weiss’s CBS News and MSNBC: www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/msnb...
Bari Weiss’s CBS News and MSNBC both just laid out their new journalistic principles — and they’re fascinatingly different
CBS: "America," "American," "all of the tools of the digital era," and speed. MSNBC: Press freedom, the First Amendment, and ethics.

Never ceases to amaze me that living to or past 100 years of age is something an American adult would want. Or that reporters think they should spend time on. time.com/7322647/long...
