Thank you, President Volodymyr Zolenskyy, for helping protect American Democracy. In an era when our own politicians refuse to help us, it’s so gratifying to see you take action. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

80% of the country is pissed off about something and they're blaming GOP incumbents for it, the worst possible strategy for a Dem challenger is to tell the base "I don't share your values" while also telling swing voters "I'm so out of touch I think 'men in women's sports' is a real concern."

The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
