He said this on Wednesday. It's Sunday now. It's way past time for the full transcript of this interview to be released. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...
There are good journalists out there who grasp that we are living in an emergency moment, at the mercy of serial liars, bigots, and government thugs. They are steady. They are clear-eyed. They understand what is needed. And they have been right exponentially more often than the "calm down" crew.
There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >
Welker's framing here is right-wing stenography disguised as centrist hand-wringing. The bad thing in her mind isn't government-approved murder; it's naughty words, and "protests across the country," and anger in response to murder, which indicates a temperature that needs to be "brought down."
Check this out before it goes away! There is nothing on earth like Tubi.
They're not bright. It would be nice if that mattered more, but at least it's something.
This is one byproduct of Trump using up all the MAGA people with attached brainstems in his first term and surrounding himself with nothing but toadies, trolls, Nazis and silicone: He and his people play only to their bubble, and they think they're winning as long as the echo chamber is happy.
I don't think most Democratic senators and representatives remotely grasp how angry the people they're supposed to be representing are right now. It's a good time to let yours know.
I think so too. (FWIW I was fine w/ Finch in lead.)
"A secret police force should not murder their political opponents in broad daylight. In this essay I will explain how that time I posted something stupid and got roasted in the replies is kind of the same thing if you think about it."
I'm hoping that the regular-people edition coming to NBC will be successful enough to convince them that they don't need to stock the pond with reality-show "personalities." The UK version with ordinary folks is so much better (and even the UK celeb version was better) than the US version.
This has become about Trump claiming the right to subdue, menace, and assault any population he considers in opposition to him. ICE is his private army.
This is a completely reasonable way for any top official to address Trump, given the entirety of his record. You get the discourse you deserve; you receive the courtesy from your opponents that you extend to them.
This is a big one. The Washington National Opera was one of the Kennedy Center's few mainstays, and this break is evidence that the Trump-zombie version is simply not a viable arts venue. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...
Later, the anchorman signs off with "This nation has endured. And, I daresay, endure it will...leaving us in the end, if not stronger, wiser; and if not wiser, stronger; and if, alas, not either, both."
Tony Dokoupil, as anticipated by Philip Roth, in Our Gang (1972). Some closing thoughts from evening news anchorman and commentator Erect Severhead.
I am going to go for a walk, try to rediscover my serenity, and enter the weekend. No forgiveness for or reconciliation with these wicked people or their supporters ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Love to the rest of you!
