It should be harder to bribe someone. Like even Trump himself should be offended at how easy it is to work him.
Despite record-low ratings for last year's Kennedy Center Honors, a source says that multiple TV and streaming homes have discussed acquiring the rights to the show, starting with the 2026 installment.
Trump Kennedy Center Honors’ TV Rights Draw Interest From Several Bidders
December’s Kennedy Center Honors broadcast may not have been a ratings smash, but a source familiar with the matter tells The Hollywood Reporter that it isn’t impacting the interest in the TV or streaming rights to this year’s installment, which are up for grabs and will all-but-assuredly be broadcast under the Trump Kennedy Center Honors name.

One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen.
- No reference to UN Charter legal justification
- Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned)
- Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal
- Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Ironically, it’s the very fact that conservatives live in a bubble of their own making that they no longer recognize that institutions - academics, government, media - exist for a *purpose*, they have a function, outside of performance.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

So the GOPs position is: teachers, daycare providers, doctors, and park rangers are all villains.
Tech billionaires, the criminally convicted ex president of Honduras, Andrew Tate, and the Saudi royal family are all heroes beyond reproach.
That about sum it up?

I think an under-appreciated facet to this is that many of these writers are in group chats with Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Nick Fuentes and within that social circle they’re being told it’s “cringe” to resist Trump.
I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

It’s just such a wild information environment and power asymmetry when both left and right will demand caution when reporting on this letter (even though it fits everything we know about Trump) and the president and his allies ran his election campaign on “immigrants eat dog and cats”

The Trump administration reversed a Biden-era ban on antipersonnel land mines except on the Korean Peninsula.
The memo, signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, says the reversal would give the U.S. military a “force multiplier” against enemies.

Maybe not what Orwell had in mind, but we have reached a sort of “2 + 2 = 5” situation where the White House wants us to believe “87% = 600%” a reality which would derail all of mathematics if true.
