New Editor Commentary: Does Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman hate public schools? I'm genuinely asking. He very well might not hate public schools. But as an observer, it really comes off like Matt Huffman hates public schools.

Just in case anyone is confused about why CEOs are getting shot in the street.
I’m at a cancer treatment center getting my 27th dose of radiation. My doctor recommends 35. @UHC refuses to pay for more than 28. I’ve fought them for weeks to get full treatment approved. This is my Hail Mary to hopefully get them to reconsider.

The out of touch billionaire running the incoming Trump Administration announced last night that he enthusiastically supports the neo-Nazi party in Germany.
WTF.
NONE OF THIS IS OK, EVERYONE.
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

And just like that, Republican Unelected Co-President Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday. All he had to do was make a few social media posts.
Trump said he’d empower working people, all he’s done is empower the ultra wealthy.

How can you not love @SenSherrodBrown
Your voice will be greatly missed in the US Senate.
Regarding this whole discussion of @JoeNBC & Mika and fear:
If, like me, you believe Trump is a fascist & a genuine threat to democracy, and if you said all that during the campaign, then when he wins, you can’t run down to Mar-a-Lago and break bread with him. You just can’t. Not if you believe what you said about him. You can’t normalize that. You can’t make nice with a fascist who just got elected. An American president who is a fascist is an enemy to this country. You must, if you believe that, continue to stand on principle and oppose him. And if that means falling ratings, or a loss of followers, or the loss of access & relevancy, or even the loss of your platform, so be it. This is a unique time, he is a unique threat, do not be afraid. Don’t let fear rule over you. That is…if you TRULY believe what you said about him during the campaign.
Thank you @davidfrum for what you said. Thank you for your piece in @TheAtlantic. Thank you for your courage.
I wonder what Cabinet spot this will get him?

What's most dangerous about the se fools is that they will, at any moment, say what their emotions tell them to, regardless of the damage and regardless of even the idea of evidence.
They are ruled by emotion, and will sell out to it over and over again it without a thought.

They are going to fuck so many people who don’t deserve what’s coming.
A push to cut veterans’ disability benefits is gaining traction, experts warn trib.al/p8RXZWW
No it isn't.
I don't say that because I'm not disgusted by this. I am. I say it because outrage, protest, etc. is meaningless in the Trump era.
They simply don't care about it, much less react to it.
My favorite part is when legacy media folks act like media failed America, but they themselves were not a part of the problem. Everyone wants to believe they were "one of the good ones."
You are all incorrect.
