Kansas has 4 former, living GOP governors. Two have now endorsed Adam Hamilton, the Dem, for Senate. Mike Hayden just penned this oped in the Kansas City Star this morning; Adam Graves had done the same last month.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

This is excellent modern journalism. A century ago, a newspaper would publish a muckraking article. Then a pol could get quotes into the paper in response. That was slow turnaround. Now subjects of articles go on TV and social media to counterspin. And @propublica.org is rapidly responding. Great!

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

There's a generational divide for sure. Also class. Bottom line is everything you do, say, and bring to an interview paints a picture. It's up to you what that painting ends up looking like.

Yeah the prognosis for American democracy is a lot better now than it was a year ago. But it’s not because the malign forces have stopped trying. It’s because Trump is so bad at his job that Republicans can’t win elections even with their thumbs on the scale.

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

Both WaPo and @oliverdarcy.bsky.social are reporting that one of the stories the WH claims they banned Politico for was based off a background briefing (that is, they're complaining Politico reported what WH told them to). Darcy makes it clear JD was the background briefer in this case.

When I first heard “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” I thought it was a bad ass choice. Now I realize it’s not a “choice.” It’s a reaction. Something happens: you stand up, or you cower. Sheeran cowered. Macklemore stood up.

Yet another reason why caving so early on the budget was a mistake. I'm not necessarily of the opinion that a government shutdown would've been a good thing for Dems but giving that leverage up before Labor Day was dumb.
