Sending up a Herky-shaped signal and hoping the Iowa Nice Guy responds to Eric Schmitt stepping on his own dick in that hearing today. Come on, Scott Siepker, Missouri's biggest stuffed shirt mixing up the Hawkeyes and the Atlanta Hawks is your moment.

Every time I see this guy, I think that's what Succession would have been like if they had an episode where Tom Wambsgans drank paint.

1. He's right. 2. Apparently, we're in a gritty Senate-themed Doctor Who spinoff and Mitch McConnell just re-generated.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Same as it always goes at the corner of "people who don't understand the data set" and "people who are either convinced fraud exists or whose compensation depends on it." I'm sure a lot of people saw that 15,903 number splashed all over Fox but none of them will ever hear that DHS got it 100% wrong

This is all giving me Deepwater Horizon vibes. “Look at this engineering marvel and how deep underwater we can drill” until something goes wrong and it’s clear you don’t have as much control over the monster you built as you thought you did.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

I know we're going to replace everything Trump put up, but these are so completely ugly I hope we find a place for them. Maybe donate them to the Museum of Bad Art in Dedham, MA.

I miss @kenwhite.bsky.social -- there's a thin slice of the Venn diagram between "Justice Discourse" and "Literal Goatfucking" and there's no one on this blue dot that I'd rather have weigh in on it.

very funny to imagine someone bankrolling a wedding to get close to the groom's dad, only to be foiled because the groom's dad doesn't love him

Now THERE’S a twist. Trump is really working the space and bankrupting something with someone else’s name on it for a change.

Without seeing the exact text, it's a lot more likely this was his idea of a joke, he was high AF or both. "Release an anomaly in the matrix" sounds could definitely be either.

Elon's going to dump a lot of money into races and the best way to blunt it is to tell everyone what he got for his money and this is a great way to present it. The impact of DOGE (screwworms, fired health inspectors, etc.) and his Nazi tweets are also excellent targets.

I've watched this a half-dozen times and it's an INSANE catch, but the look on the pitcher's face as he realizes he's getting a save and not an L is the best part!

Just thinking that Democrats in Wisconsin were able to make the election about Elon's money when he dumped an outsized amount of money into a state Supreme Court election. It's a great way to use some aikido against Elon and money spent by people pushing, say, data centers.

First of all, absolutely, let them fight. ICE sucks, but I'm fine with this guy's face becoming leopard food. I'm also imagining there will be a round two in all of this and there's no doubt in my mind that the amount of tea he has available to spill could just about fill Boston Harbor.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
