Almost certainly true, and another opportunity to remember that Netanyahu would willingly trade away the safety of every Jew on earth to save his own political career and avoid going to prison for his crimes.

the picture of the stuffed animal sticking out of the glove compartment just inches away from the blood spattered dashboard is gonna be one of those images that haunts me forever. even when your whole job is looking at the horrors on purpose and you get good at forgetting, some things are seared in.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”
HIGH
Nationally, the wastewater viral

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

Just saying that if Trump can come into my city and just lie about crime, call it a national emergency, and take us over - he can do it anywhere. It’s easier here, but look what he did in LA - just saying I’d care about DC if I was elsewhere in the country because this is bad

With both the Epstein birthday card and the Access Hollywood tape, you really see in Trump the homo-social uses of sexual abuse for straight men: it’s something he does to get other men to like him and think he’s cool.

There's no way this is just about "finances," given that they had plenty of finances to bribe Trump. A shame. Colbert is so funny and kind and generous, especially to writers.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

What do you even say at this point? This isn't just some random account. She did debate prep for the current president. She advised him to fire half the National Security Council. She visits the Oval Office frequently. This is our government.
