Bill Browder: Putin has got a major shortage of diesel fuel in Russia, and so I don't believe that he's actually gonna supply the fuel. Second, the amounts are de minimis compared to what the United States actually needs.

This debate performance is really going to help Ossoff stand out in the 2028 pack specifically because "does not eat shit in a debate" is going to be a top qualification for so many Democratic voters

Remember, ‘fewer’ is generally used when you’re talking about a smaller number of things that can be counted. Use ‘more’ when you want to indicate a larger number.

I first saw the image 100 percent in isolation—no context, no all-caps outrage—and my immediate thought was "Why am I looking at a photo of a lynching?" The Klan hood took a couple of extra seconds.

those created objects discrete, growing or holding, or swaying, being rained on or raining, held, flooding or ebbing, standing or spread. You feel the world’s word as a tension, a hum, a single chorused note everywhere the same. This is it: this hum is the silence. The silence is all there is. +

ICE isn't enforcing immigration laws. They're waging a campaign of state-sponsored terror designed to break communities, traumatize families, and give fragile, insecure men a badge to hide their cruelty.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Coverage of the Canada trade war seems to be underselling an important point: Trump tore up NAFTA and made everyone sign a new agreement more to his liking in 2020 with a 16-year renewable term. Now he's tearing up that agreement. If his signature is meaningless why would Canada agree to anything?

It could also be that Gen Z, looking at a life with no secure job prospect, no opportunity to buy a house, possibly not even being able to afford children, finds the progressive message of Health Care and Child Care for all really appealing. I'm Gen X and I know I do!
