An even better response would be “I thought that JD converted to Catholicism and was busy now telling the pope how his views aren’t Catholicism.”

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

Trump bought over $1 million in SpaceX debt days before unveiling space policy
The purchase, revealed in his latest financial disclosure, involved a firm directly affected by his administration’s actions — and led by presidential ally Elon Musk.

As always with Rs, the sense is not so much that they deny the physical phenomenon of climate change as the presence or absence of the phenomenon simply never enters their thinking. They interact with it *purely* as a partisan matter, something libs care about. No awareness of a world beyond.

The headline refers to "exaggerated portrayals of one candidate as a con artist and the other as a drunk"; the article then spends a lot of time detailing a single incident, which has been widely exaggerated beyond all proportion and recognization, and finally turns to Ramaswamy's career exploits, which are by no measure being exaggerated beyond defensible arguments as to their social impact. Why couldn't this article be accurately headlined: In Ugly Fight For Ohio Governor, Exaggeration of Single Personal Incident Is Pitted Against a Plutocrat's Career and Its Consequences. Concerned readers are eager to know.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

There are some people in this administration who are imbecilic true believers (e.g., Hegseth, Kash). There are others who know exactly what they're doing and why it's wrong, but who want power. Rubio is in the latter group. To quote Dylan, "All the money you made / Will never buy back your soul."

As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.
