Disney's stock has lost nearly $50 billion in value since the start of March, when it took a political gamble to oppose Florida's controversial new education law.
Disney’s stock was down more than 2% on Friday and by more than 8.5% over the past few days as Florida lawmakers work to punish the company for wading into the state’s politics. The stock's market cap has declined by about $46.6 billion since March 1, just days before the company came out against the legislation.

White House Report Card: Is Biden this bad on purpose?
This week’s White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden stumbling through yet another bad week dotted with defeats, sinking polls, confusing announcements, and the continued implosion in the office of his even more unpopular vice president, Kamala Harris.
The cherry on top was Friday’s near 1,000-point drop of the Dow Jones and rising mortgage rates to nearly 6%, double where they were at Christmas.
The Presidency of Donald Trump review: the first draft of history
Read more
This new book from the Brookings Institution, subtitled How to Restore Ethics, The Rule of Law and Democracy, recalls those far-away days of a functioning legislative process.
The response to Watergate gave us real limits on individual contributions to candidates and political action committees (Federal Election Campaign Act); a truly independent Office of Special Counsel (Ethics in Government Act); inspector generals in every major agency (Inspector General Act); a vastly more effective freedom of information process; and a Sunshine Law which enshrined the novel notion that the government should be “the servant of the people” and “fully accountable to them”.
Since then, a steadily more conservative supreme court has eviscerated all the most important campaign finance reforms, most disastrously in 2010 with Citizens United, and in 2013 destroyed the most effective parts of the Voting Rights Act. Congress let the special counsel law lapse, partly because of how Ken Starr abused it when he investigated Bill Clinton.
The unraveling of Watergate reforms was one of many factors that set the stage for the most corrupt US government of modern times, that of Donald Trump.
Even someone as inured as I am to Trump’s crimes can still be astonished when all the known abuses are catalogued in one volume. What the authors of this book identify as “The Seven Deadly Sins of Trumpery” include “Disdain for Ethics, Assault on the rule of law, Incessant lying and disinformation, Shamelessness” and, of course, “Pursuit of personal and political interest”.

Dan Balz: “Power is intoxicating, its pursuit revealing of character but sometimes debilitating; House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is Exhibit A. In his ceaseless drive to become the next speaker of the House, he has demonstrated weakness, hypocrisy and a willingness to lie to save his skin…”
“This is what the Republican Party in the House of Representatives now stands for — the abandonment of a principled conservative leader and the possible elevation of a politician whose abiding principle is the pursuit of power, one who has bent and bowed before a former president whose actions he denounced and knew were wrong.”
The authors argue that since the crimes of Watergate pale in comparison to the corruption of Trump, this should be the greatest opportunity for profound reform since the 1970s. But of course there is no chance of any such reform getting through this Congress, because Republicans have no interest in making government honest.
Nothing tells us more about the collapse of our democracy than the primary concern of the House and Senate minority leaders, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. Their only goal is to avoid any action that would offend the perpetrator or instigator of all these crimes. Instead of forcing him to resign the way Nixon did, these quivering men still pretend Donald Trump is the only man qualified to lead them.
'Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor': Elizabeth Warren rains hell on House GOP leader
Tom Boggioni
April 24, 2022
During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (R-MA) went on an extended attack on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) bluntly calling him a "traitor".
Asked by host Dana Bash about the recorded call of McCarthy explaining to his colleagues that he would tell Donald Trump he needed to resign afterv the January 6th insurrection -- and then denying he made the comments despite an audio recording proving otherwise -- Warren immediately went on the attack.
"Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor," she exclaimed. "This is outrageous and that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now. They say one thing to the American public and something else in private. They understand that it is wrong, what happened, an attempt to overthrow our government. And that the Republicans instead want to continue to try to figure out how to make 2020 election different instead of spending their energy on how it is that we go forward in order to build an economy, in order to make this country work better for the people who sent us to Washington."

“The officers allege newly revealed text messages detailing Lee’s efforts to help former President Donald Trump reverse his 2020 election loss suggest he was trying to cover up his involvement.”

Quote of the Day April 24, 2022 at 7:22 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 87 Comments
“Do I want to be speaker? Yes. But I don’t have to be speaker. My life will be fine one way or another.” — Kevin McCarthy, in an interview with the Associated Press.
To be clear: That strong labor market is a signature achievement of the Biden administration. But the nature of achievements is that, once you achieve them, you don’t need to keep on achieving them.
This administration, whatever its other shortcomings, has cured a chronic demand shortfall that has plagued the U.S. for decades. Now it needs to pivot from progressive dreamscapes and toward a universe of hard tradeoffs. Deficit spending and protectionist regulations can no longer be justified as stimulus — and it’s not practical to fund programs by taxing the wealth or unrealized capital gains of billionaires.
More Companies Are Saying ‘Let’s Make a Deal’
J.P. Morgan
In other words: Spending more in one area will require spending less in another. That can be done with taxation to reduce private spending — it can even be done with taxing the rich — but the base would need to be larger than the tiny groups targeted by these kinds of ideas.
If the end of free-lunch economics is bad news for the progressive left, however, it’s worse news for Republicans.
Both former President Bill Clinton and Obama successfully practiced forms of austerity politics, dramatizing for voters the tradeoffs between conservative tax policy and the stability and security of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Bush’s political standing imploded when he tried to privatize Social Security, and Trump’s effort to pare back Medicaid likewise ended in tears.
Indeed, Trump was lucky to be president at a moment when much of the establishment had wrongly concluded that the U.S. was at full employment. Under the circumstances, the mix he delivered — increased spending, lower taxes, and more restrictions on trade and immigration — led to mostly good results. But deploying the same policies in today’s radically altered situation would be extremely destructive.
Yet rising Republican stars have not come up with anything better. Successful Republican governors such as Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin are practicing free-lunch politics — tempering their culture-warrior schtick with increases in school funding and teacher salaries. They can do that because, perversely, the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan gave so much money to states and localities over Republican objections.
Six years into the Trump era, however, there’s been no new synthesis of economic thinking among Republicans, no meat on the populist bones. When National Republican Senate Campaign Committee Chair Rick Scott decided to write down some policy ideas, they were so politically toxic that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been disavowing them at every opportunity.
Yet all that stuff that former House Speaker Paul Ryan used to say about entitlement spending remains true. With the population aging, the price of keeping a constant set of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits in place is rising over time. Post-Trump Republicans, meanwhile, are more wedded than ever to a political approach that requires higher spending on the military and related matters like policing and border security.

It doesn't matter "who" is saying something. It matters "what" someone is saying.
When everything you spew if woke nonsense, nobody will pay you a dime for it. It doesn't matter if you graduated from an Ivy League school, was a constitutional law professor, or even a former President of the United States. Say something that matters or nobody cares. Or for once... be right for crying out loud!
When you are exposing people and asking the questions that others are afraid to ask... well that is interesting stuff. Even if you are an actor of low brow MMA guy.
It only matters "WHAT" you are saying and that you can be proven "RIGHT"!
