Did Sean not get the memo that this is Graham's funeral, not Trump's?

Imagine dying and having your eulogizer praise someone else at your funeral.

hey, it can always get dumber.

Imagine searching far and wide for a person who will save the news show you've (intentionally) run aground... and settling on Ross Douthat.

This is the most 2026 media news headline ever.

So, apparently Rowling is in a dispute with Amnesty International because they had the temerity to call her (in a since-retracted report) "anti-trans"... And, like, isn't that literally her whole point to life now?

In the 1970s, the vast majority of people were aghast when Nixon said he can do whatever he wants as President. That's now essentially the law of the land.

The Unitary Executive Theory undergirding SCOTUS's recent opinions on presidential power is fucking stupid and directly in opposition to the "originalism" they claim to love. The only reason anybody would embrace it is if they want to destroy democracy.

I should say, it's only this way for Republican presidents. They've been more than happy to find exceptions to executive power when a Democrat is in charge (for example, do you notice how the Major Questions Doctrine has all but disappeared since Trump was inaugurated?).

Gorsuch's embrace of near-unaccountable presidential power is a major reason our democracy is falling apart. Of course our Constitution wasn't designed such that we elect an authoritarian despot every 4 years, but that's how he and the other conservatives on SCOTUS interpret it.

Damn, too bad he doesn't have the power to strengthen democracy.

I know it'll surprise everyone, but the agents in charge of enforcing the border and immigration laws are racist xenophobes.

Biden extended and added to Trump's China tariffs and signed the silly and politically-dumb tiktok divestment law. China hate is a bipartisan exercise.

It's kind of amazing how the last quarter century of Musk's life can be defined by his inability to turn PayPal into X.

dude's literally been in charge of public health for 1.5 years.

Who's in charge of public health at the moment, Junior?

Do you want your money controlled by a openly-fascist defense contractor? Well, here's your chance!

Execs, employees and angel/seed investors get to sell their stock—which they mostly received at values FAR below $110—in a week or two, so expect even more downward pressure as thousands of people sell for an easy payday.

You can't say SpaceX has been the biggest IPO flop in history because of Pets.com apparently.

Nasdaq is up today, so Musk's losses can't even be blamed on broader concerns in the tech industry.
