We seem to be at a time when the Federal Government communicates by social media. That's how we hear what DJT or his "administration" has to say (and they always have something to say). It's a real shame. Between that, the demise of the Dept. of Education, and a president who speaks at the level of a 4th grader, our country is on the way to a minimally educated citizenry who will be more than happy to live as low-wage workers.
Everything in this article by Charlie’s was informative, interesting and on point, and the magnificent dogs at the end top it off, as always. Love you guys!
Another great piece and I will be referring to this congress as “self-gelded” for the foreseeable future. I have added some great words to my vocabulary thanks to you Charlie. (I can’t even say “dipsomaniacal chode” without laughing).
As always, thank you for the beautiful dog pictures, they really do help. If you have ever read or watched the Harry Potter series, dog photos are to fascism as chocolate is to recovering from a dementor attack.
The CBS of Bill Paley, Edward R Murrow, and Uncle Walter vanished long ago, when the Redstone clan acquired the post-Westinghouse CBS. The Network and it's O&Os mean nothing to Shari - just a minor entry on the P&L sheet. Once a broadcast company joins the conglomerate fold, it's independence is gone and the financial suits call the shots. Expecting otherwise is folly. My friends at CBS are speculating on who their new owner will be, once Ellison spins them off. It was not Trump who killed CBS, it was corporate avarice.
Good for the law firms in the universities that are standing up and fighting back
The big supposed prominent law firms that capitulated to Trump evidently became all about money and power
They forgot the legal oath that they took in the allegiance to the constitution, our democracy, and the rule of law .
Somehow the legal oath got just a little forgotten.
It has happened in Medicine , too with doctors, following corporate greed and Maga selling out their medical ethics and the Hippocratic Oath. Corporations couldn’t make such a mess of medicine if there were not doctors helping them for the Almighty buck power control, and fame.
Both sets of oaths legal and medical were supposed to be there and followed to help people.
All people involved selling out for 30 pieces of silver . Or in the case of the billionaires billions of pieces of silver.
The mainstream media blew it - so many of us are migrating to independent podcasts, Substacks, Youtubes already. This CBS capitulation just reinforces our collective decisions to pay (quite a bit in my case) for actual unfettered/uncontrolled journalism. Keep up the great work!!!
Great post, Charlie. You sent me to my dictionary with contumacious. Love learning new words.

Both dogs looking noble - so appropriate for this time of remembering courage is contagious, and together, we stand stronger.
Someone needs to remind Shari Redstone, CBS News and Politico what Edward R, Murrow once said: "Some stories don't HAVE two sides."
Boycott CBS & Paramount!
"Profiles in Uncourage" my ass. These are Profiles in Cowardice.

Your dogs are just gorgeous. Thank you for the photos. Thank you for standing up. We need you more than ever.
Young Auggie and Moses sure look a lot smarter than us humans.
Charlie, can you please comment on the latest Substack from Bill Maher! I’m ( in your words) gobsmacked
Gorgeous Shepards!
Thank you for writing this article. Politico lost its soul.

No more Politico for me
