Digger is like Dr. Strangelove for the first third. Then it takes a left turn and loses you for a bit, and then there’s a really worth it payoff. Go see it.

Wall Street is like “hell yeah, more people unemployed, job growth is 66% less than we expected. LOWER INTEREST RATES!!”

Oh yes. If there’s one thing to takeaway from the testimony , it is that it was just a clash with senators.

Having cleared 100+ people for West Wing and White House access, I can tell you the process takes a few hours max. Temp badges can be issued in minutes if the requestor sufficiently senior or purpose sufficiently urgent.

This is so strange - somebody must be invested in a TRT company that’s about to get a big contract.

Congrats to Alex Witt on wrapping up an incredible 27 year run with MSNBC/MSNOW! Here we are some years ago discussing Trump and Ukraine. These interviews between NYC and DC are impressive logistical feats behind the scenes, and she and her team always made it easy for guests.

Someone asked Reacher how they could get a hold of him and he said, “you can’t.” And I think that’s a bigger flex than all the ass whoopins combined.

Reacher needs to find a home and just stay inside of it. Wandering isn’t working out so well.

If the threat was credible enough for the president to be smuggled off the plane, there was absolutely zero reason for the plane to fly until the threat had been mitigated. Full stop. You don’t use a plane full of reporters and White House staff and service members as bait.

I ran a campaign for senate on this premise. If you believe this, that conviction compels you to fight everywhere, even in places like my home state of Kentucky. But despite what the DSCC, consultants, and many donors said, at the end of the day everyone acted like it was a normal cycle. Maddening

The downside is he would likely be impeached by the republican super majorities in both KY House and Senate. I get this maneuver would be a perfect tribute to McConnell’s style of politics,, but there is very clearly downside.

Eventually Mitch McConnell’s condition as of July 7th will be known. It would be against Scott’s financial interests to fabricate the entire call.

The best way to honor Mitch McConnell’s legacy is for Andy Beshear to call a special election or appoint whoever he wants to the seat.

Spent the morning at the Little Bighorn National Monument , honoring the 150th anniversary of the battle between northern plains tribes and the 7th Calvary - or what the natives call “victory day.” It was powerful to see how much culture they’ve been preserved despite the best efforts of the U.S.

In 1932, Australia deployed its military to kill thousands of fast, crafty emus. A general noted the birds could “face machine gun fire with the invulnerability of a tank.” They ran out of ammo and retreated in defeat. Anyways, I like the algae’s chances.

Trump would rather lose to Iran than face any accountability with congress. As soon as a war powers resolution looks like it could pass either chamber, he’s apparently ready to concede anything to declare victory.

If you operate under the assumption that the DSCC has some grand strategy, this should disabuse you of that notion quickly. Total failure to read the room in Maine and nationally.

maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

As a former CIA officer, I can assure you former CIA officers (especially those who haven’t worked at the White House or staffed the president) are not authorities on Secret Service protocols.

A lifetime ago, I spent a lot of time with Biblical Greek. “Anti” as used in the NT more accurately means “in place of” or “substituted for” vs. “aggressively opposed to.” When a political leader places himself in the role of healer/sacrificial offering, that’s about as anti-Christ as it gets.
