MacFarlane: I think the rise of independent journalism is an unparalleled thing. They want—hopefully—what I do: speak directly, one-on-one, point-blank, conversationally, and simply explain the news. There’s no way any vertical integration can stop that.

reprehensible republicans! - the truth must always be concealed unless they can sell it to benefit their storyline
After years of delays and blocks by Speaker Johnson, the January 6 plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol is finally installed.

Apparently the only safe way to acknowledge J6 in Trump’s Washington is in the dark.
