I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Shorter Nolan Finley: "The Mississippi Educational Miracle can work in Michigan too!" www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio... Maybe, but only if we practice the same selection bias that Mississippi did to misleadingly bolster its reading scores: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/12/01/h...

Shorter Detroit News Editorial Board: "We need to further subsidize unchecked urban sprawl by cutting the taxes of those best positioned to pay for it." www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio... Policymakers' response to Michigan's economic freefall of the last 50 years has been nothing but tax cuts.

Really impressed with the Olympics commercials for AI that keep showing me all the amazing things it can do, like tell me that Olympic athletes train for their events for a long time and other amazing secrets that can only be found by paying big money and draining a lake.

Shorter Detroit News Editorial Board: Yes, this criminal administration may have overreached by abducting and murdering citizens using masked Gestapo tactics in Minneapolis, but Walz and Mayor Frey are also to blame for not aligning and coordinating with them. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

Shorter Detroit News Editorial Board: Local government "should respond to the needs of their citizens" by increasing allowable density in their single-family subdivisions. 90% of such citizens neither need nor would welcome more density, as they chose low-density housing in the first place.

Jan 1, 2026: DC is a Trump theme park, complete with a Trump triumphal arch, arts center, and a $400M ballroom. Troops police civilians, prisons overflow without trials, the military metes out death abroad, and racism spills into real-world terror. Reality called. No one picked up.

Sounds like the daddy party has become the mommy party.

Detroit News changes AP story headline "Trump sustains political attack on Rob Reiner in inflammatory post after his killing" to "Trump appears to mock Rob Reiner death in social media post." Next? Trump appears to have bandages on his hand? His ankles are apparently swollen? Journo malpractice!

The White House knows they can call the press names, denigrate reporters, all of it — because those same reporters and mainstream outlets are in on the scam. They get access and scoops and book deals and career advancement by cozying up to the people who publicly abuse them. They don’t care.

The left joins with right against the middle takes on the Trump/Mamdani meeting are way off. There is nothing substantive here. There will be no policy breakthroughs. That’s not what this is about. It’s about a young smart guy who knew how to play an old fool who worships stars.

Shorter Detroit News Editorial Board: Providing billions in subsidies to heath insurers allowing 40M+ uninsured to afford quality health care failed to satiate insurance and medical industry greed. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

At what point does the New York Times get charged as organizationally conspiring to abet human trafficking of minors.

Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools. They are not. They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

It’s amazing that Republicans are suddenly concerned with how much money insurance companies are making. We would be happy to sit down with you to fix that problem. But I suspect that just might be a red herring to distract from the fact that they just want to kill the ACA.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

I hope they explained to the Toronto fans that cancer charities are what the United States has in lieu of a functional healthcare system

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

One of the blissful things about being in Canada was the lack of pharmaceutical ads. It’s amazing how many other products exist in the world- chocolate! Laundry detergent! - that you can hear about if you’re not being told about medullary thyroid cancer

Every allegation of wrongdoing out of this administration is projection. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

Shorter Nolan Finley: "Michigan's (regressive) flat income tax of 4% should not be changed, because making it progressive will cause Michigan to become the slowest growing state in the country from its current lofty position as second-slowest."

Shorter Nolan Finley: "Divisive President further divides a divided Congress in speech." I guess that this is what passes for insight in the Det News editorial room these days: www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

Absolutely stunning. Trump to Chief Justice Roberts: "Thank you again. Thank you again. I won't forget."

The United States is no longer the leader of the free world. Let that sink in.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Every reporter with access to the WH should ask, "How is DEI responsible for the tragedy in the air over DC?" Just ask over and over again, until the questions' repetition becomes the story. He says stupid fucking shit daily to appease his base that does not reflect reality. MSM lets it happen.

Economic policy in the United States is a weapon wielded by the elite to crush the working class. Our government panders to billionaires and practically begs them to evade responsibility. Installing a puppet dictator to make the rich even richer is par for the course under this system.

Stop with the "Harris didn't offer anything to the lower middle class" lies. She offered: -caps on price gouging for food; -protections for health insurance, social security, and civil rights; -lower taxes for low earners, higher for billionaires; -student loan relief; -assistance buying a home
