I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

The article describes the DeSantises as having a priority to cut programs for the poor, then claim they are reducing govt spending while taking that money for themselves, their own campaigns and their rich friends’ companies. That should sound familiar as it’s the same DOGE, Trump playbook.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook
An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

The news won’t report on it, and the opposition won’t talk about it, but OVERT, OPEN white supremacy and neo-Nazism are the ideologies guiding the White House right. They’re not disguising it in policy, and they’re not hiding their interactions with Nazis and white supremacists.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer.

Because when republicans win, they always have a mandate. And when Democrats win, they have a duty to reach across the aisle. This is consistently how their victories are portrayed, no matter the margin.

Nobody can actually explain why presidential behavior that would have been A1, 144-point scandal for weeks in any other other presidential term - INCLUDING TRUMP’S FIRST - is suddenly barely noteworthy. It’s incredibly clear this is true, but no one in media seems curious what’s happening.
