How does this guy still have a job - imagine being the parent of one of the undergraduates in his fall course right now. Or being one of the female undergrads. Disgusting.

I can’t wait to see Cuomo’s concession speech and then to never see or hear him again

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.   He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

Guys don't dick around, give money to Feeding America to help support people getting to eat. They have a great track record of donations going TOWARD FOOD. They can stretch your dollar further. They are everywhere in the US. I've been donating there about 15 years. www.feedingamerica.org

I think the way Cuomo kept waving his hands and saying “TikTok” was a very effective debate strategy

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Controlling the media is one of the items on the authoritarian checklist; this includes not just hard news, and increasingly social media, but also threatening satirists who mock the regime. The FCC is pushing this control, but corporations do not have to fold. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Yes, this, this! Why aren’t newspapers amplifying the awful truth we all see, every day? It’s like a laundry list of facts as if they’re not an absolute horror show

It distorts & inures us to our reality that everyday since inauguration has not seen huge full-banner, epoch-defining, agenda-setting headlines in NYT & WSJ etc enumerating starkly the latest Trumpian attacks on the republic & institutions of democracy like we saw for Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
