MSNBC should hire Andy Roddick to host a show. Mainstream liberal politics needs to be voiced by a dude from Nebraska who married a super model and served 145 mph.

This is one of the interesting things about Trump - he thinks all the Christian culture-war stuff is corny. He just has to pretend to care about it to get GOP votes.

Trump's lead is down to 1. His core problem is that it's very hard to see where he's going to get more votes. He's maxed out with the GOP base (95% of those who voted for him in 2020 say they'll vote for him again), and he's not going to become more appealing to swing voters.

Michael Cohen was prosecuted for lying. He was also prosecuted for making an illegal campaign contribution by paying off Stormy Daniels, which he did at your behest, Mr. Trump.

How is Angel Hernandez still an umpire in the major leagues? It is embarrassing that MLB cannot fire someone who is undeniably terrible at his job, and who has been terrible literally for decades.

It's impossible to understand, or think clearly about, the US economy if you think someone making $20 an hour is earning six figures, as Jesse Watters did.

Naomi Wolf was a batty crackpot before Covid, and she's a batty crackpot now. The only thing that's changed is that people like Tucker and Steve Bannon now give her crackpottery a platform.

U.S. share of global GDP is slightly higher than it was 15 years ago. The prime-age employment participation rate is as high as it's been since 2007. Real wages for average American workers are much higher than a decade ago. The story of decline is a myth.

Fascinating, if not surprising, that Trump won't say he's pro-life. Before Dobbs, it was the easiest thing for Republican politicians to say, because a lot of swing voters treated it as an empty commitment.
