"JD Vance is disgusting. He lies with such ease, with such little compunction. He is unburdened by decency, morality, shame." –Dan Pfeiffer on JD Vance's press conference about ICE's shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Trump is leaning toward appointing Russ Vought to lead the White House budget office. Vought, who held the same role during Trump’s first term, was an architect of Project 2025, writing a chapter on the executive office — and advocating that the next president more aggressively wield his power.

Seriously NPR?

This article is totally insane; NPR should be ashamed. The headlines and lede give you no indication at all that RFK is a crank whose claims about vaccines are false and threaten public health. Would they write a story saying "Alex Jones wants to inform the public but he faces a lot of pushback"?

So, as part of moving here, I'm posting when I'm on TV. I know some of you have adopted the "I won't watch news anymore" pose, and that's fine, but I don't care, and you don't have to tell me about it.
