We’re not quite sure what we’re gonna do with ourselves now. Where are we supposed to go for quality journalism like this now?
- CNN’s Chris Cillizza tweets totally true in-flight story about what the maskless couple in front of him were watching
- CNN’s Chris Cillizza shines an important and not-at-all-desperate spotlight on ‘the whispers of Hillary Clinton 2024’
- CNN’s Chris Cillizza says that Marvel’s Wakanda could be a model for our future cities
And there’s so much more gold where all that came from.

For the billionth time, reporters may not root for a side, but we can’t help but root for Chris Cillizza to land someplace that will allow him to pick up right where he left off and keep those white-hot takes a-comin’.
