This is utterly unhinged.
Worked in the movie biz for many years. Politically progressive. Cranky. Judgmental. This does not make me wrong. I’m an Oscar voter, too. And I review theater and dance for politicsmoneyculture.com. After Trump's election I say, Don’t get mad. Get even.

Wake up and smell the $20 latte.
Your tax dollars at work.

Finally some fresh Sebastian Koch content; the Etty trailer.
Koch is great. Haven't seen him in a while.
Ugh.
Osaka vs. Gauff. Here we go.
You can say that again.
Wake up and smell the $20 latte.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
All hat, no humanity.
Donald Trump is certifiably insane. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Update from what Republicans like to call the world’s greatest healthcare system. “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.” WTF?
Separated at birth.
Again, the only thing I want to hear about JD Vance is his hillbilly eulogy.
It's not news. Everyone knows that Trump has been brain dead for years.

Thank you. Avid follower.
I can name that tune in no notes. Save your gas money.
Daily reminder that without hypocrisy the Republican Party would implode.
Anyone can be president. The others should all be cabinet members. Add Newsom and Buttigieg, too 🙏🏼
One day soon all of the world’s industrialized democracies are going to realize that they no longer need to do that much business with the US. They will trade among themselves and flourish without worrying about American hegemony, unreliability, or stupidity. Self-inflicted wound.
Getting there was supposed to be half the fun of travel. Today it’s 100% of the misery.
I've gotten SEVERAL of these already. I'm voting YES on Prop. 50, and I'm sure that most other Californians will, too.

Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Plenty of room for one more.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
GOP Rep claims Muslims in US want to impose "sharia law" as he literally pushes for his right wing "Christian" beliefs to be US law! Say no to religious law, say no to the GOP! My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gop-rep-wa...
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Tell me again. Who voted for this? Oh, yeah, #ThanksMAGA. For nothing.

Schrödinger's stroke.
I recall the press outrage about not getting clear statements and thorough documentation on Biden’s health. This practice apparently is no longer fashionable, even after being handed week old golf outing photos.
Waiting for the Republican majority in Congress to investigate White House officials covering up Trump's decline. Wake me when this happens.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

To read the 337-page transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is to be horrified, even enraged, by Maxwell’s brazen airbrushing of her conduct, and by Blanche’s placid acceptance of her rendition of events.
This Chinese Cybertruck knockoff is SO much cooler than the original. It also outperforms Elmo's original in every way. And it's less than half the price. www.theautopian.com/dong-feng-sh...

Wanted to share my interview of @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about his great new book "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds." youtu.be/5YL-cInSyAI?...
He can repent all he wants. Who will believe him?
How Donald Trump sees himself vs. how the rest of the world sees him.
You can also call RFK Jr. an asshole. But let's not quibble over epithets.
Norway cancels its $13.5 bn in contracts with American shipbuilders, moves the contracts to the UK. Why? Under Trump, the US is no longer a reliable ally. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

He dreamed a dream.
Weekend at Donnie's.
Answer to your question: Because he is irrational, incompetent, a demagogue, and a sociopath. That about covers everything, no?
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
#ThanksMAGA. Now GFY.
When you bend over for Donald Trump, sooner or later he kicks you in the ass. Boy, are these Republican demagogues stupid!
#ThanksMAGA. Now GFY.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
The assholes who support the “I can do anything I want because I’m president guy” also want you to know that no one is above the law.
Today in Demagoguery. (One in a series.)
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
Make it a double.
They are much worse. So is Ralph Nader.
Living in Florida. You call that living?

Wanted to share some of the most compelling interviews of the week from my show that are both informative and entertaining from Calif AG Rob Bonta to Andy Borowitz to "What just Happened?!" segment. If you have time this weekend here is some good stuff: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/calif-ag-r...
Trump playbook: ✅ Create a mess ✅ Claim to fix it ✅ Take a bow ✅ Repeat Tell me again. Who voted for this demagoguery? Oh, yeah, #ThanksMAGA.
Daily reminder that without hypocrisy the Republican Party would be out of business.

Update from Donald Trump’s Economy: “But now that many of Mr. Trump’s tariffs have officially set in and his trade policy seems to be solidifying, many companies are concluding that they can no longer afford to hold back.”

Do not get me started about this.
Paging John Roberts. Oh, wait a minute …
OK, Melania is not on Vanity Fair’s cover, but she’ll always have this.
There is still a little justice left in America.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
