Firing Dowd for merely observing that Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure who pushed hate and created dangerous conditions is to fire a commentator for stating the obvious and speaking the truth. Shameful.

So, he hates immigrants, hates Black and brown people, and now we find he hates the elderly. What a charming man this Stephen Miller is! So glad he’s effectively running our country!

Those of us who study authoritarian societies understand well how political violence gets used. The leaders' rhetoric stokes fear & division, while the state increasing violence suppression. Any act of violence against the state or its supporters becomes a justification for additional state violence

Am I watching the Artemis II re-entry with the excitement of a 10-year-old science nerd? Yes. Yes, I am.

I’ve said this before, and I say it again: The Trump’s really need some gay friends to stop them from flooding the world with tackiness. They need someone who can say, β€œNo! Sweetheart, no! Just no!”

The Fox News claim that a decline in the teen birth rate is a problem rather than an accomplishment is kind of mind-blowing. As the dad of a 16-year-old girl, I say let's keep this trend going. Fox still doesn't understand that the Handmaid's Tale is a dystopia, not a policy proposal.

As I listened to Melania’s speech claiming that she had no connection to Jeffrey Epstein, the one thing I kept thinking was that she really should not have hired Andy Kaufman as her vocal coach.

Maybe they've decided coverage of Trump's ties to Epstein is better press than reporting on the disastrous Iran war?
