ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Dumped Host Joy Reid Set to ‘Scream Bloody Murder’ Over Being Axed from MSNBC – ‘She Knows Where the Bodies are Buried and Is Getting Set to Torch Network to Ground!’

An unrepentant Joy Reid is set to scream bloody murder and seek vengeance against MSNBC for canceling her show, The ReidOut , and unceremoniously kicking her out the door, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 56-year-old anchor, who had been with MSNBC for over a decade, is said to be furious over what she sees as a backstabbing betrayal from the very network she helped build.

An MSNBC insider said: “She’s livid, and she knows everything. She’s ready to burn the house down.”

Including any future television career for herself, apparently:

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Did He Have to Go Full Mongo? “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and before we begin I need to assure you that no horses were harmed in the making of this week’s Florida Man Friday.”

THE ATLANTIC:

(Salena Zito already responded beautifully to that piece earlier this week.)

ALSO THE ATLANTIC:

Maybe it would help if the Democrats knew any men.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

ANOTHER UPDATE:

MUSK DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IS REAL AND IT IS STUPID: The Stupidest Example Of Musk Derangement Syndrome Yet. “Why yes, that’s the problem, you simply didn’t call people who disagree with your politics Nazis hard enough. Doubling down on that will surely make your agenda of child mutilation, trannies in women’s sports, open borders and wasting taxpayer money to secretly fund the far left super popular.”

DOGE, THE EARLY YEARS:

Well, we know Obama wasn’t very serious about this cost-cutting effort, because Joe was allegedly in charge it. (“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up,” to coin a phrase.) Note that Joe’s speech is slowing down a bit in this 2011 video, there are several edits in his portion of the clip, and he looks a little glassy-eyed, but he’s not yet the withered husk of 2020-2024.

UPDATE: Flashback: When Did DOGE Really Launch?

Obama and Biden promised taxpayers a DOGE-esque housecleaning. They conceded the point of its necessity. Eventually, voters were going to demand delivery on those promises. They whetted the appetite for an outsider to come in and clean house — and even then, it took Trump a second opportunity to make good on it.

To be fair, though, Obama and Biden weren’t the first to virtue-signal on that point. Bill Clinton and Al Gore made a big production over their study on “reinventing government,” launching what certainly looked like a DOGE-esque effort to put the recommendations into action. Like Obama, Clinton put his VP in charge of the effort, which went exactly nowhere after the press conference announcing it. It sure seems like a consensus existed for a major executive branch overhaul for decades before Mr. Musk came to Washington.

Dems were happy to go along with both Obama and Clinton, because they knew it was all kabuki — but now they’re terrified — and furious — that Trump and Musk are actually implementing a plan to shrink government.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

If you hadn’t heard it was a thing — and you probably hadn’t — Michelle Obama’s podcast is a bomb.

WHY ARE LIBERAL WOMEN SO MISERABLE? Social psychologist Dr. Luke Conway, writing on the Rod Martin Report, surveys the data and concludes two factors — traditional marriage and religious faith and practice — are keys to understanding the answer.

SCIENCE!

Manly’s BlueSky profile says she’s into “Brain Health Equity,” whatever that is.
