Chat AI programs are often simultaneously very certain and completely wrong. I think we've reached the Singularity.

The Constitution is suffering from internal bleeding.

Anyone who wants to be the next president should grab a bullhorn and head to Minneapolis. Pro democracy Americans are desperate for strong leadership.

Abroad and at home, the administration is living up to the dire warnings. Decent Americans must live up to the moment.

Nothing has cut my political donations more than the relentless text spam from every org that the Dems have sold my phone number to, effectively punishing me for donating. This is an underestimated risk for the party, and nightmare for me.

There's one sign that Trump doesn't really want to take Greenland. He's put Vance in charge of the process.

At its core, Trumpism represents a nostalgia for the worst parts of American history. www.startribune.com/ice-detainin...

Trump weaponizes his corrupt Justice Department against the Fed. When will business leaders finally get fed up?

Fernando Mendoza has more TD passes than incompletions in the college football playoffs. It’s further proof that nothing beats a Cal education.

The people ICE is targeting are NOT criminals and none of this makes Americans any safer. The crisis is invented. The deaths are real.

During his first term, Trump said something that his supporters have taken to heart to ever since: “Just remember: What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.”

Get the fuck out of Minneapolis. Get the fuck out of America.

Entitled, violent, masked thugs turning America’s cities into war zones. Today was not a mistake. It’s the policy.

On that dark January 6th, I could have never imagined today's January 6 could look like it does. I still can't understand why millions of Americans wanted it to be this way.

On the right, Fox News watchers. On the left, sane person.

Only five days into the year and the Trump administration has achieved the impossible: We're nostalgic for 2025.

The two biggest employee challenges in 2026 are AI and the fact that Marco Rubio holds nearly every job.

Congressional leaders on intelligence committees weren’t briefed and have no idea what exactly is going on and why. Don’t be so sure you do.

Most Americans only learned that CBS still has a news division as the last of it was being destroyed. Forget cockroaches, irony will outlive everything.

My new year’s resolution is not to wake up every morning and immediately grab my iPh… Shit. See you next year.

Jimmy Kimmel was the cultural hero of the year because he stood as a bulwark for democratic values. In 2025, that was the exception. In 2026, let’s hope it’s the norm.

My New Year’s resolution is to put a fucking end to 2025.

Wrap up 2025 in 6 words: “Can’t say we didn’t warn you.”

During this time of year, I always find myself recalling the words spoken by Jesus himself: "Happy Hanukkah."

Trump and his enablers can delete a file here or a news segment there, but they can’t delete all of reality, which is what it would take for history to forgive their toxic stain on America.

60 Minutes doesn’t have the same meaning anymore. At this point, I’m not even sure 60 minutes is an hour.

If you ever wake up with that dreaded sensation that you couldn’t feel any worse, watch Sunday morning news talk shows. You’ll quickly be reminded that of course you can.

Trump Media just merged with an ink cartridge company.

We’re going to hit the singularity sooner than expected because humans are getting dumber.

CNN and others waiting for press conference on the Brown shooter while Fox has said he killed himself already. State media seems to be getting the scoops first.

It's Christmas time and parents all over the country face that familiar dilemma: When do you tell your kids the American President isn't real?

Rob Reiner left us a two word review of Trump’s speech: youtu.be/tWqKiqTfXuA?...

Well, we’ve all wondered what would happen if narcissism and sociopathy had a baby and that baby’s full diaper was tasked with giving a speech.

What if Pluribus is actually just about the alienation and fury associated with being placed on hold.

After decades on the internet, I finally found the link I'm least likely to click on.

You know how you send Stop to a spam text and then you get a follow up text telling you that you did that? If we halt authoritarianism, we’re going after this next.

Some days, it going to eleven is just too much to take.

Everyone wants to be an influencer.

I wish I knew how to quit you. Update: I figured it out.
