I would hire Mike Johnson to mow my lawn. I would do it so I can fire him a second time.

It is not a coincidence that Russia's drone incursions and sabotage efforts in Europe have increased a lot.

Next, Ukraine will need an alternative for Starlink.

Trump has crossed the point of no return in his relationship with Ukraine and Russia. He will tacitly support Putin's war for the rest of his political career. Ukraine will continue to get much needed support from European allies, so NATO summits will become more strained than they already are.

Yes. I hope everyone understands that this is a dark moment in our history.

Atom Earth Mother, Pink Floyd's 5th studio album, came out in October 1970. #MusicSky

If it is behind closed doors, the execution is not a shared experience, and much less of a designation of a state enemy.

The goal of the public broadcast of this death sentence is to desensitize us, so we are less shocked by the next execution. We can't let that happen.

Future negotiations between Ukraine and Russia can't be negotiated by the US. Of course Trump and the Kushner/Witkoff team always favored Russia, but now they are all in with Putin.

If you live in the US anyway, it is much better to be a citizen than a green card holder. The term "permanent resident" comes with a few caveats and qualifiers now.

Why are Trump's press secretaries so obsessed with how we feel about the things he does? Just explain what he is doing and why.

What Trump tries to achieve before the midterm elections is that his loyal supporters see that he is making an effort to lower fuel prices. It is a symbolic move.

Maybe he asked for it. More likely, Trump threatened the country of Norway or the members of the Nobel committee with sanctions.

Garfoyle (or whatever) probably has good evidence of Trump Jr's coke habit. They can't drag her down too much, or she will start spiling.

I hope it will not be very damaging, but the magnitude is large for that particular subduction zone. I think the plate motion in southern Panama is almost strike-slip...

Oh crap. M 8.0 earthquake 14 km SW of Pitaloza Arriba, Panama. 33 km deep. Exact location and magnitude may change as we get more data earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Is it that Democrats made Kavanaugh cry during his confirmation hearing? How can these MAGA clowns (that includes Brett) by so cruel and at the same time so thin-skinned?

At last, NK and SK agree on something. This is a shocking over-reaction from Seoul. They don't even recognize North Korea as a country, so returning *two* NK POWs to South Korea just makes sense. No doubt Lee Jae Myung is trying to distract us from the illegal South Korean fuel delivery to Russia.

If a student with a degree at a European or Asian university takes a science job in the US, they don't need to pay this $100k fee. Trump is again working to destroy American universities.

Elon Musk came into the US in the 90s on a student visa. He violated the terms of his visa by taking a job. Nobody here knew what a pest he would become.

Maybe disclosing the POW transfer was a small mistake, if it puts the safety of those soldiers' families at risk. South Korea's sale of jet fuel to Russia is a much bigger diplomatic mistake.

I cannot imagine two more years of this demented fool in the Oval office. There must be a bipartisan behind-the-scenes negotiation to replace him. There is just too much at stake.

No, and neither did Rupar use the n-word. He copied a digital image of Trump's truth social post to show what the president did. If you want to censure Rupar, take it up with the Bluesky team. I don't think you're stepping in to protect Andrews.

Well almost, Scott. First, the Democrats would ask Mitch McConnell for advice on Trump's impeachment for about 20 minutes. If Mitch gives a peace sign, they will go ahead with it.

Are you just trying to block Aaron Rupar from writing about Trump's transphobic post? The context matters. Aaron is not condoning or normalizing Trump's hate speech. It is fair to say that we have never had such a vile and foul-mouthed president.

Trump can get away with this now because Mike Johnson is the Speaker of the House. If Trump ignores Congress when the Democrats take the House, then the constitutional crisis comes to a head.

That doesn't justify Russian attacks on commercial boats in Bulgarian and Romanian waters. As Von der Leyen said, lives were lost in those attacks, and you are just here to downplay Russian violence.
