After tolerating him for too long already, I finally stopped following David Darmofol. His blind loyalty to Harris has turned him into a Democrat who spends most of his day attacking other Democrats online. Not meeting the moment at all.

Abrego GarcΓ­a should apply for the β€œAnti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

I wrote in March about the billionaire ownership class’ doomed strategy of trying to attract readers by pivoting right β€” and who it ends up hurting.

THIS x 1000!

I feel like I'm watching the Titanic sailing towards the iceberg. I see the vitriol against our own candidates, never measuring their peccadillos against the reality of a MAGA governor. I need to hear that you'll vote for the frontrunner, whoever it is. Or we won't have a Dem on the ballot AT ALL.

Does legacy media understand how much they damage their businesses by attend gatherings like the WHCA dinner? Do they think dining with Donald Trump, mingling with his cabinet, and joking around with his cronies does anything other than alienate their audience? Honestly, I don't get it.

When a sentence starts with β€œTrump says” or ”Trump said” I assume that it’s a lie. Why do so many reporters continue to think they are sharing useful information when they begin like this?
