Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

If Don Junior wanted his daddy to attend his wedding, he should have held it on a golf course. Not even a war would stop him from attending that (he played golf when the war in Iran started).

I wish someone would corner these chuds on "only when the sun shines or the wind blows." It's spectacularly embarrassing that the ENERGY secretary doesn't know how storage batteries work.

MIN: Do you know how much new energy China put online last year? BURGUM: Intermittent or base load? M: 543 GW. How much was renewable? 434 GW. B: But only when the sun is shining M: Meanwhile, the US put up 53 GW of new energy last year - less than 10% of China. You're harming our natl security

Dear Congress Yes, Iran is a threat, so is Russia, China, North Korea, India, and Pakistan. But please be real. America bombed them while they were peacefully adhering to the Obama Agreement! The Strait was free and open until we bombed them. Now they retaliate!

White supremacy has gone by many different names in the United States. Manifest Destiny. The Confederacy. Jim Crow. KKK. Christian nationalism. MAGA. Different names for the same thing: white nationalism, misogyny, and predatory capitalism. All while using Jesus as a mascot.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.
