This is the kind of free-thinking, hard-hitting journalism they're going to be getting at CBS soon.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

In this discussion with my friend Gil, the book Ministry of Time comes up -- I was about 20 pages in when we recorded, I have now finished it. A novel of love and brutal loss, so, obviously in my wheelhouse.

a thing to keep in mind, moving forward, is that if you're ditching this shithole, don't tell us about it on social media until you're safely on the other side

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 16h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I wish "antifa" had not gained such widespread usage. If we just said "anti-fascist," then it would be immediately clear to anyone what the opposite of that is.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

weirdly i can think of three different situations i had 5-10 years ago where people simply did not know what crop marks were (including that cover). I blame computers, enabling ppl with no design knowledge to do this work.
