Democrats need to do this because it's what's happening. Trump officials are not only behaving outside the law, they're behaving as if they'll never be subject to the law. Dems must introduce friction to slow them down: Start announcing that blanket pardons for uncharged crimes will not be honored.

Per Zenith research: The Democrat in this race (a Biden State Department official who coordinated aid to Israel) *loses support* after folks learn more about him. But @ahlmanfornebraska.bsky.social (who just launched his campaign) not only gains support, he *leads the Republican incumbent.*

"Life During Wartime" lyrics seem far more prescient than we knew in the early 1980s. The last minute of this Coachella performance takes place against a backdrop of last summer's ICE raids and anti ICE protests/stand-offs with police in: Chicago, L.A., NYC, and Ventura County, CA.

Just to go back to basics: I once worked on a (winning) presidential campaign. Something too obvious for anyone to mention was: "Don't get into a fight with the Pope over who knows more about Jesus." These people are morons.

We spend so much time searching for what animates the MAGA mind, but it always comes back to the fact that these are just the dumbest people to ever hold power. If you took the dumbest person you know and put them in charge of foreign policy, these things would happen. No deeper than that.

Not one American should die for the Netanyahu regime. But more than a dozen already have, with hundreds more injured. And now Donald Trump is preparing to betray America yet again by sending our boys and girls to die in a foreign land for absolutely nothing. Impeach this man.

Trump is shocked Iran didn’t surrender out of the gate, because he cannot put himself in the mind of a soldier (American, Israeli, or Iranian) willing to die for their country. “But he ran again despite being shot at!” It was get re-elected or die in prison. It was about him, not his country.

This is a pretty good illustration of how to talk about the "Jewishness" of Epstein and some of his network. It's important to do this because antisemitism thrives on the claim that you "aren't allowed" to talk about when Jews in powerful positions commit crimes. Room to go deeper on gender, tho.

Epstein relied on Jewish in-group bonds to cultivate the network that facilitated his crimes.

Not an expert on Iranian society, but I remember what happened in Iraq after the U.S. ejected Saddam's army from Kuwait in 1991. The Bush administration encouraged minority Kurds and Shia to rise up, then refused to offer support as they were all massacred and the Ba'ath Party retained control.

I realize I am safely out of range for now, but this is the sort of situation where you do not comply, you hide your friends and neighbors and rules generally go out the window. A society that tolerates this will tolerate anything. Gotta draw a line somewhere.

Unpopular opinion. Hegseth is fit and he shows it off under the pretense of setting a standard. Criticizing or dissecting his workouts is silly. He’s strong, can bench a lot, and those making fun of his pull-ups have never attempted a Murph. He’s still a terrible leader and person. Focus there.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Incredible, and revealing, shot of a tragic result for Lindsey Vonn. Jacquelyn Martin of the Associated Press captured the picture that shows how Vonn's pole made contact with the right gate at an early jump, which led to the violent crash.

Obviously correct, and worth underscoring in every press report. As is the reality that Trump himself would obviously be removed from positions of responsibility in any other setting—pilot, surgeon, teacher, company official, bus driver—and those around him are denying that while using him.
