When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Whats especially funny about this is that even with all this effort to try and juke media in their favor, Trump/GOP approves are still absolutely dogshit and getting worse
It's great that we have massive regime control and consolidation across so many traditional and electronic media platforms: Fox, the Washington post, cbs, twitter, tiktok, maybe soon CNN (?). Can't see how that would have any negative repercussions

A few weeks back ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant and then *detained the restaurant's workers* and they're complaining about how they can't eat out anymore?
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

I keep reading about how Amazon is spending tens of millions to market the Melania bribe movie and I’m wondering where exactly? Are ads running constantly on CBS? Or is she somehow benefiting from that spend too?

Other things that should be pretty: Bottle openers. Teakettles. The container for your stovetop utensils. Your bread box and, yes, you should have a bread box. (I feel like Steve Carrel in Anchorman, just looking around my kitchen for things I love.)
I do have a gorgeous bread box, though.

I think liberals ought to reengage this discourse. We dismissed manhood and masculinity as phony things unworthy of serious, positive discussion, and left it on the table for the chodes and assholes among us. Alex Pretti was what a good man should be. We should say so.
