I’m confused as to why so many are upset that CBS hired Ross Douthat for 60 Minutes. I thought most gave up on that Trump/MAGA propaganda network long ago. I know I did. Besides it’s a win that he’s leaving the NYTimes. #Politics #CBS #Media

Folks understand governing less than they do politics. The breathless headlines that Trump won’t sign the housing bill (and I’ve seen one saying he’s blocking it) are nuts, bordering on stupid. Refusing to sign means the bill becomes law. It’s a win/win for him by being petulant. #politics
