Cowards bending the knee --
Taken all together, this represents a remarkably comprehensive selling-out of principles Rubio once professed to stand for, on just about every conceivable front: Immigration, Ukraine, Russia, foreign aid, everything. It's extraordinary degeneracy. newrepublic.com/article/1930...

This is great, about Paul Weiss, the beating heart of the Democratic establishment (Chuck Schumer's brother works there!), capitulating to Trump and letting everyone know that corporate money is ahead of any principle. www.thebignewsletter.com/p/monopoly-r...

New in PN: Trump's hostile takeover of big law "Paul, Weiss is now in the same boat as Columbia, constantly needing Trump's approval to stave off new shakedowns. But the administration, like any bully, will keep attacking & no acquiescence will be enough. That’s why bending the knee is a bad idea."

A shitstorm of fascist corruption and un-Constitutional decrees --
This is so surreally corrupt it’s hard to even grasp. US media is incapable of processing it - directly using the White House to promote a meme coin with hidden ownership structure.

Told the wife would rather change channels than watch Jake Tapper on Colbert. She wanted to watch, then was soon screaming at the TV when Colbert was singing "The Band" song "Up on Cripple Creek" and the dipshit Tapper refused to say/sing the rhyme, "Straight down the MS river to the Gulf of Mexico." What an ongoing disappointment.
