Very proud liberal. Grateful for much in my life. Also very sorry to see where we are now.

The level of comfort now accorded racist, xenophobes quite willing to display their ignorance publicly is, perhaps, the most telling indicator of how far the ethos and integrity of this republic has fallen in these times. They just let it fly as if anyone with a soul can't see the hate.
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

Why are these people such freaks?

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Let’s go back to those 10 co-conspirators…”

@rokhanna.bsky.social : “Some of them were at parties where you had 13 & 14 year-olds paraded naked… They did disgusting things. The Epstein class needs to be held accountable. Release the files.”

Can't say as I much care about Shen Yun and Shear Madness, but there are a few acts booked into the Kennedy Center between now and June that still have a golden chance to cancel.

Remember when Fox News settled a defamation suit for $800m because it lied about the 2020 election and then all the Fox News watchers kept watching it?

This picture highlights why the pews are emptying.

It’s hypocrisy.

You cannot deny anymore that American “Christianity” worships power and not God.

And don’t give me “he’s an imperfect vessel.”

Imperfect vessels repent and are changed by a moral epiphany.

Seems like a great way to force a court to rule on the illegal name change.
To recap:
*The Trump administration illegally renamed the Kennedy Center. They broke the law.
*Now they are suing a guy who refused to perform because of the name change for $1 million.

The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building. n.pr/49tB0uS

RFK Jr.’s changes to the vaccination schedule will kill thousands of American children. But my liberal neighbors handed out apples and raisins on Halloween. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

There is nothing in the Constitution that forbids a president from mass redacting FBI documents to hide evidence of his sex crimes. So the Democrat Party's outrage du jour is, as always, much ado about nothing.

Trafficked children don’t care about politics. They care if someone comes for them. Around the world, justice is delayed while evidence is buried…and the man atop the United States helps keep the truth from daylight.

I lost my job and had to give up my health insurance when the premiums exceeded $40,000. But at least I know some of those uppity student loan borrowers will have their wages garnished starting next month.

It’s George Conway. I’ve spent years calling out Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and their enablers! And if there’s one man who embodies political cowardice more than anyone else, it’s Lindsey Graham.
