It would seem a relatively easy thing to ID some Fox pundits who misrepresented the politics of Melissa Hortman's killer, to package for an FCC complaint?

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

You need to know what might be coming. Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

I think the disconnect we’re seeing online is between pundits who are imagining a Charlie Kirk in their heads and professors who have lived for a decade with the (often literal) targets he and his anti-free speech organization placed on their backs.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Trump has effectively put an end to one of the largest manufacturing investments made by any foreign company in the US in the past decade. He apparently did so because Georgia Gov Brian Kemp (R) bragged about the deal and he wanted revenge over Kemp's failure to help him "find" 11,780 votes in 2020
