That quote's last 2 sentences are awesome.

Much of the coverage of this White House "compact" remains really very bad, including today's headlines about MIT. Read @fishkin.bsky.social on what's actually going on here.

"The one thing they all agree on ... is that their department is the most important and needs more faculty parking spaces."

I mean, that is an important graphic. But the news never intended to be representative. "80-year-old dies of heart attack" will never make the news precisely _because_ it is so common."

I think it has something to do with getting the same news sources to everyone so we can have different opinions about _the same facts_. No clue how to make that happen.

"Facts"? Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure you'd know a fact if it bit you.

Sorry, it took me a minute to reply because it was hard to breathe from laughing so hard.

Monica Crowley: "What a difference a presidency makes. We are now totally over that destructive, stupid era of toxic masculinity, and now we're in an era of real masculinity thanks to the bold muscular leadership of President Trump and our Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. We saw that in bold relief."

Not too long ago, it would’ve been pretty dramatic for an incumbent American president to refer to his opponents as “the party of Hate, Evil, and Satan.”

But as people grow accustomed to madness, it’s now barely a one-day story.

People thinking that all politicians lie, so let's vote for _our_ liars at least.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Trump: "Why would anyone not want a guest army to move into their city? I don't get it."

Trump: "Why is it that a governor wouldn't accept free help from regardless? Whether it's National Guard or the military or anybody. Women raped and beaten and knocked to hell and the same with men, where they are being shot all over the place."

So, he rarely does what he promises, but this line is perhaps the most chilling of his statements ever.

Trump "We have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I'd to that ... if courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I'd do that."

Is that result in this article? If not, can you point me to the research you mention?

This is the home of Diane Goodstein, a federal judge who ruled against Trump last month.

Members of her family were still inside, but survived by jumping out windows.

Just yesterday Stephen Miller claimed left wing judges were terrorists & state power was needed to stop them.

Criticizing Charlie Kirk is a fireable offense that incites domestic terrorism. But calling political opponents "the party of hate, evil, and Satan" is proper and good. Got it.
