"In addition to MSNBC, in the past I’ve appeared a number of times on CNN. Sometimes hosts are a little saltier when the cameras aren’t rolling, but I don’t recall ever hearing any daylight between the views they express on-air and off. Fox News is unique in its bad faith.

His lawyers also want Manhattan federal court Judge Lewis Kaplan to prohibit evidence of Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” tape"

"Yet, this is the political world we currently live in: Republicans cast themselves as the champions of practical and thrifty Americans while they use a national debt that their own presidents and congressional majorities have plumped up to enact an ideological agenda that has nothing to do with how family economies—or national ones—really work"

"several top aides in the Texas attorney general’s office accused him of corruption.
After the allegations surfaced, the Republican fired or forced out several of the whistleblowers who hadn’t already resigned"

"GOP lawmakers have a choice: They can claim to take fiscal responsibility seriously and pursue a balanced budget, or they can push to make permanent ineffective tax breaks for those who don’t need them. To do both simultaneously is ridiculous:"

"While Musk's ego is a big factor in his insistence that his unpopularity must be a conspiracy against him, his tantrum is part of a larger Republican strategy of using false accusations of social media "bias" against the right as leverage to pressure the companies into disseminating even more right-wing propaganda — often to people who didn't ask for it. The goal is to create the illusion that far-right ideas are more popular than they actually are"

Malcolm Nance: WHY let spy balloon in our space? 1) It was 18.5 miles up, almost in space. 2) it sends data link to PRC. We can intercept that & learn what China knows. We can jam it so they see nothing new. 3) The collection system is ours:
