JD Vance spent the summer bragging about how he turned a new leaf and is living a life of Christian humility now.
That didn’t last long.
Now he’s on the road, making foul but also painfully unfunny “jokes” about Democrats.

In MAGA, parental estrangement is a big issue — and parents are held out as blameless victims.
I suspect that's one reason why Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad celebrating Amy Acton's vile mother.
And why MAGA — including Vance and Trump — are backing him.

Seeing Ken Russell’s lovingly restored and uncensored ‘The Devils’ could be key to cinema’s salvation. To further my theory, I sought sources. What I got was 178 people, all with their own remarkable stories, ready to lead moviegoing into its bright future.salon.com/2026/10/22/warner-…

Forty years ago, America added land for the last time. Donald Trump wants to bring back annexation, but I explain in @Salon why he's likely to fail - and why an obscure Pacific archipelago will probably remain the country's last territorial addition.

Greg Abbott has backed off data centers, but sticks by his unpopular policy of funneling money out of public schools to unregulated "alternatives."
Why risk re-election over this?
I dig into who is funding Abbott: Billionaires who want theocracy.

Hegseth doubles down on his vision of a military staffed only with people like him: White. Male. Evangelical. Straight.
The problem is that there just aren’t that many of them.
And he’s supposed to be fighting a war.

Jon Ossoff can land a sick burn, as he showed in last night's debate.
On "Standing Room Only," I celebrate Jon's hotness, his swift wit, and why this high-T Democrat has MAGA freaking out.

The rape case is drawing attention to a previous failure by Cornell's president, Michael Kotlikoff.
Last year, he caved in a $60 million settlement to Trump, undermining DEI and free speech on campus.
His capitulation has the stench of complicity.

wrote about ‘digger,’ a smug, exhausting film with nothing but haughty contempt for its audience. it’s completely disconnected from the reality it presumes to understand well enough to satirize. salon.com/2026/10/05/theres-…

His persistent greed, anger and need for revenge empowered him during his first 100 days back in office in 2025, leading to sweeping, Nazi-esque changes sold to the public by discrediting or co-opting the media.

So thrilled to interview Kristin Kobes Du Mez about "Live, Laugh, Love" and the history behind "wife schools" for "Standing Room Only. "
We laugh at the hypocrisies, but also over the enduring love of Precious Moments figurines.

Appreciate @Salon for allowing me space to talk about @Kaepernick7 memoir, the Perilous Fight.

wrote about ‘bucking fastard’ out of NYFF. werner herzog traces the thin line between loneliness and codependency with endlessly fascinating, tender introspection. it’s a film i’ll relish revisiting for a long time to come. salon.com/2026/09/28/bucking…

Premiering at 4:30! New "Standing Room Only" is a less than 10 minute ride, all about how the Christian right is terrified of James Talarico.
This isn't just about one Senate race, either. Their panic, which we have so many clips of, is worse than that.

The recent arrest of Clavicular on rape charges shows that misogynist beliefs become misogynist actions.
This *should* be obvious, but in the world of "cancel culture" hysteria, it's not.
Unsurprisingly, MAGA is painting him as the real victim.
