Not big on screenshotting the bad place, but holy hell, Boston

Robert E Lee, the traitor who killed 200,000 Americans in order to preserve slavery, died today in 1870. This is his resting place. The US should bomb it.

Documenting for posterity
From America.gov chatbot 

User asked: Is Donald Trump eligible to run for reelection in 2028?
No. Under the 22nd Amendment, a person who has been elected President twice cannot be
elected again.
What the Constitution says
• "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
• Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and 2024, so a third election would require a constitutional amendment.

Why is the Ossoff campaign using Newsom to send solicitations? Seems to me that Democrats generally love @ossoff.bsky.social and most people are at best(!) ambivalent about Newsom.

Ezra Klein: Elizabeth Holmes is founding Theranos the right way @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
The movie features long, intense conversations between Fielder and Holmes with extreme close-ups. It also reveals that while Holmes serves her time at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, she and her partner, Billy Evans, are making plans "to launch a new and improved Theranos," the company that collapsed after its deceptive claims about blood-testing technology were exposed in The Wall Street Journal in 2015.

I’m starting to suspect that JD Vance isn’t very bright
JD Vance confidently pitching untruths at a Republican Jewish coalition summit today: “The core of antisemitism to me is the idea of a blood libel - the idea that because of your genetics, because of your blood, because of your ancestry, you are guilty," he said. "That blood libel — which is at the root of antisemitism - is the exact opposite of the Christian gospel."

The details of what is happening here are important — that's why I laid them out — but it's also important to step back and make a more fundamental point: the president of the United States is engaged in a conspiracy against the voting rights of the American people, which is to say that the president is engaged in a conspiracy against the Constitution itself. And this is part of a larger effort, spearheaded by the most fanatical of his allies, like Stephen Miller, to end the American republic and supplant it with an authoritarian regime in which President Trump holds sovereign authority over the whole nation.

My favorite Darline Graham fact
Wikipedia: Darline Lettie Graham Nordone (born Darlene Lettie Graham; al June 12, 1964) is an AmericanWikipedia: Lindsey-who was nine years her senior-became Graham's legal guardian. He taught her to spell her first name "Darline", a spelling she continues to use in adulthood.

I love this story because it purports to tell a light-hearted anecdote about the late senator from South Carolina but it actually illustrates a key problem with how the media covers those in power.

Like anyone who's spent any time around politics, 1 have many Lindsey Graham stories. This is perhaps my favorite...
I was covering Congress (Best! Beat! Ever!) for the NYT when the Mother Emanuel shooting happened in Charleston. It was summer, but I was wearing pants and a sweater that day because it was always SO freezing in the Capitol. Anyhow, news of the shooting came down, and the DC Bureau chief called me with an order: Get yourself to Charleston ASAP and glue yourself to Graham's side. She wanted a piece on the senator grappling with the unimaginable. So I headed straight to the airport, arriving in Charleston with just my backpack and what l'd be wearing to work that day, and linked up with Graham.
He had me meet him at a restaurant, where I told him I needed to shadow him for the next 48 hours. And he looked at me, with amused distaste, and said: "You are sticky. And you are icky. If you want to shadow me, go buy some nice new clothes—maybe a dress— and take a shower, and then we'll talk." (He was not wrong; | was sweaty and gross).
So I drove to a local big box store, bought a dress (he seemed to have a strong preference for a dress), and spent the next few days with him, resulting in this piece (which, for reasons not worth getting into, ended up being fairly different than the original

Did some research at great personal risk. Conclusion: while the eyebrows are substantial, they are being edited to look clownish.
