No almost voted no, he voted no and was instructed to change his vote. What is it, he didn’t know what he was voting on and had to be told how to vote or he is cognizant and voted no and was made to change his vote. Either way, he is not fit to serve and he just proved it in front of the cameras.

Corporate Media would have crucified Hunter if he had a Russian oligarch pay for his wedding while Biden was president, but they will bury Donald Jr. doing it. Easy to become inured to absurd asymmetric accountability, but critical to hammer home to US that Corporate Media is biased for Trump.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

I don't understand why more people don't connect Trump calling Somalis "garbage" with the Hutus calling the Tutsis "cockroaches" and the Nazis calling the Jews "vermin." We know where it starts, and we know where it ends.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

The Pope has spoken out for the protection of immigrants, and against the Iran war. Now he's launching a papal letter on AI. Tomorrow, he'll be joined by an Anthropic co-founder, religious leaders, and theologians in an address about safeguarding human dignity in the AI era.

Is Pope Leo joining the anti-AI resistance?
Opposition to the technology is growing in the US. Can the first American Pope make a difference in his first encyclical?

Absolutely not. Congress doesn’t get to pick their members, voters get to pick their representatives. The last time Bob ran in an election in this district, he got trounced in the primary (County Sup 2020). No thumbs on the scale.

Sometimes I think this could all be explained as Russian blackmail victims trying to be so over-the-top outrageous that we’ll have to toss them from office and end their nightmare. But mostly I think there are just really, really weird and really, really stupid.

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Either group them together & vote or start with Republicans. If you vote out a Democrat first then Republicans will change the goalposts & keep their people . The GOP only cares about majority not fair play

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

a. Trump isn't announcing a pause on strikes. He's saying he's postponing a possible war crime - strikes on Iran's civilian energy infrastructure. b. Also, this isn't a message to Iran. It's a panicky message to the markets: "No war escalation until markets close on Friday".

The media always treats the more sensational Trump accusations in the Epstein files with a level of skepticism that would be appropriate for Jimmy Carter, not the guy who bragged about sexual assault on tape, was adjudicated guilty of sexual assault, and is currently overseeing murder dot gov.

This is why Democrats simply cannot work with Republicans in Congress on appropriations or anything else in good faith. Trump will illegally seize money appropriated to Democratic states, refuse them disaster aid, threaten them with Fed invasion, threaten their governors, etc.

I’m not surprised Trump and Hegseth thought this was a good idea. They have the wisdom and knowledge of 9YO boys playing video games. But the career military officers knew better. Congress needs to haul them in, and show the rest of the military what happens when you obey illegal orders.
