I hope Lindsey Graham was comforted at the end that he’ll live on in Seth Meyers’ impression of him shouting at Memaw.

$200M per day: the estimated benefits to Putin from Trump's elimination of sanctions on Russian oil—an outrageous gift to a war criminal who keeps on killing. Putin is the real winner in the reckless war with Iran.

MAGA’s end game is to cancel the midterms or ignore their results. Oregon has 3 million voters. Under SAVE, we would have to validate 13,000 voters each day. This is clearly impossible and designed to create confusion. The SAVE Act is an attempt to undermine election integrity, not protect it.

Ellen Musk's "fork in the road" email is a tremendous self-own. Who's gonna stay? - People who can't get a job anywhere else - Resistors excited to troll #TFG - People with chronic self-hatred (And some, I assume, are good people) You expected this to make government more efficient, Ms. Musk?

This tweet came across my feed and it's the perfect way to illustrate what I think is the lynch pin for understanding American politics--the Rosetta Stone for decoding Republican thinking. Here it is concisely: Modern Republicans cannot conceptualize any number between 0 and infinity. 1/9
