Unlike Trump, the Pope doesn't have to worry about kompromat.

My latest @providencejournal.bsky.social op-ed on the possibility of primary care physician unions in Rhode Island. providencejournal-ri.newsmemory.com?publink=24f3...

Why primary care doctors

Could your primary care physician become a card-carrying union member?

Tl;dr: The ethical line hasn't moved. This is a massive case of telling on oneself in public. As clear an illustration you'll get of the unparalleled parsimony & explanatory power of the Dennis Green Unified Theory Of American Politics:

the funny thing about this of course is that "athenian democracy" was a cautionary tale to the framers, who saw it as unstable and prone to demagogues and tyrants like the one rubio works for

this Rubio speech feels a lot like a 2028 soft launch

Today is a day to mourn. The loss of innocent life. Today is a day to only mourn. Those not mourning today, those protesting Israel today, those celebrating today, those “resisting” today, those shouting “genocide” today? They’ve lost the plot, they’ve lost their humanity. Today. October 7th, 2023

Karoline Leavitt, Trump's former White House press secretary, will start her new job at Fox News as a contributor, beginning Nov. 1.

At least they didn't put Scott Jennings in charge.

Mark Thompson, who has led CNN for the past three years, will remain at the helm as the Ellison family acquires the news network's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Shocking news! Does Fox pay more than the White House for lying?

Did Trump's AI tool say he lost the 2020 election, contradicting his claims that he won? | Snopes.com share.google/1qCdcFDMNBXO...

The Governor is the one who could have prevented all of this - but don't expect him to resign. Neither "A" in MAGA stands for "accountability."

We should rename the day after Election Day "Dog That Caught the Car Day"

Governor Lee should be brought up on charges for this.

The failed execution of convicted murderer Christa Pike led Tennessee's governor to order a review of the state’s execution procedures. What's likely to happen next: https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/tennessee-governor-halts-executions-after-woman-survives-lethal-injection-attempt/ 

The botched execution of Christa Pike shows again why we must abolish the death penalty. It erodes our nation's soul. My column on Pike, and on watching Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh die and seeing the inherent immorality of the death penalty firsthand: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

Unlike Trump, his new website tells the truth.

The funniest thing about the Schmitt rake stomp is that if it'd been a Dem we'd have a week of think pieces about how Dems lack of hoops literacy was alienating them from real America.

scenes from an authoritarian cult -- Trump signs an EO, and then all of his cronies keep clapping and clapping for him since none of them wants to be the first one to stop

Hah! @helenkennedy.com is all over this, and it’s fabulous:

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

So now our fan friendly MLB Commissioner, Rob Manfred, is bringing us a post-season where you need to have Peacock, Fox, TBS, HBO-Max and ? to watch all the games. #greed #enough

If a sentence in your newscast starts with “President Trump says…” you’re failing your audience.
