Now if I were a TV station with a weather team... Knowing that the new administration wants to interfere with NOAA...

I might go ahead and keep my weather team for the foreseeable future.

It didn't get the attention of the immigration EOs but one of Trump's first acts yesterday was repealing the lobbyist gift ban and revolving door bans for executive branch appointees

I voted for Trump. But when he said he was going to take away reproductive rights I didn’t know he’s going to take away my reproductive rights.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.

Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.

Let that end now.

Social Security has been 7 years from going bankrupt for the past 56 years.

This is a lie Republicans created and perpetuate to condition you into accepting the loss of an earned benefit you paid for in every check you ever earned.

"Murderer walks free after the judge dismisses his manslaughter case."

I want so badly for the media to start using the appropriate framing.

(Not applicable you Phil. You keep doing your thing.)

The LA Times has pretty much always been owned by deeply suspect rich people. Harry Chandler for instance had the paper shill for the racist eugenics movement he sponsored through a weekly column. Soon-Shiong nevertheless manages to bring a novel destructive energy with his meddling.
This, courtesy of the owner of the LA Times, is the worst “tech solution for journalism” idea since the CueCat.

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered.

If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.
