Despite voters’ dissatisfaction with it, the economy Trump inherited from Biden was actually pretty good: Unemployment was low, and inflation was under control. Now, jobs reports show tariff-driven inflation and a downturn in hiring. trib.al/noba4Hr

What are they going to replace that hour with? Three Stooges shorts? Infomercials? Dead air? Again, if this move is actually based on economic factors it has to be one of the damn dumbest decisions ever.

Paramount says this move as an economic decision, not political. Bullshit. This is the highest rated program in its time slot. They have to broadcast SOMETHING ELSE against KImmel and Fallon.

Looks like it's time for the corporations and billionaires--and the rest of us--to get woke and step up support for public broadcasting, at least until the Democrats return to power.

This is what comes from SCOTUS protecting partisan gerrymandering. Our so-called "representatives" do not respond to their voters, only to their big money donors. Until we have laws or an amendment prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, we will continue to have representation without representation.

Mark looked at me blankly. He had no answer. Woke up thinking, good idea? Nothing glitzy but two or three evenings of serious minded discussion of the party's vision themed on important policy areas such as the economy, immigration, national defense, etc. But, of course, it was just a dream.

Had a dream the other night. I was working as a janitor at some kind of Democratic HQ, pushing a broom when I found myself talking to astrategist named Mark. I asked "Why do the Dems only have national conventions during presidential campaign years? Why not have a convention before the midterms?"
