to be fair, this administration is kinda like "What if Nixon, but he's completely unapologetic?"

Seriously. The best case scenario for Pete Hegseth - the absolute BEST case - is that he didn't know about the second strike in advance, reviewed the video, and opted to support a clear war crime. There is no version of these events that leaves him fit for office. Draft articles of impeachment now

Impeach. Now.

Pete "Murder on the High Seas" Hegseth is in a wee bit of a pickle.

Bari Weiss is running CBS News the right way. by Ezra Klein

1) You can see EXACTLY how shaken he is by what he just watched 2) Admiral testified there was no "kill them all" or "no quarter" order from Hegseth

Every Weiss family member as a character from Game of Thrones. by Chris Cillizza

Well the answer is clear, we need to bail out AI and tax costco products, duh.

All the AI investment won't mask that people are cutting back because of present circumstances and fear in the near term.

My wife reported that Costco was extremely crowded on a weekday morning but that people were being very careful with their purchases. Not rolling down the aisle grabbing everything (as I do) but checking prices closely. This is the recession beginning at the margins.

I want a law that forces platforms to reveal the country of origin of its users. Threads is just buried in foreign propaganda right now.

Yes

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Fixed it.

Thanks, Justice Kavanaugh!

Ferguson is correct here, folks don’t like that.

apple.news/AWvJeArYqTzK... It’s not that these two refused, it’s that they know their Supreme Court ffs.

Seems like pretty good evidence for a hostile work environment claim if you are a Black employee at one of these companies!

Is every single one of these people out of their mind on drugs?

anyway I’m sure this will all turn out fine because we rule

It’s wild that bad jobs data can mean good news in the immediate for the market

The CDC advisory committee on vaccines is meeting this week and its going to be a shit show even relative to the low standards of this admin

DO IT!

I spent three years at DOE LPO trying to make the American auto industry more globally competitive because I believe, among other things, it's vital for the national industrial base. I’m not giving up on that objective, but Trump is doing everything in his power to mortally cripple Detroit. 🔌💡🔌🚗

Working In General Vicinity For 8 Hours A Day Misinterpreted As Friendship https://theonion.com/working-in-general-vicinity-for-8-hours-a-day-misinterp-1838142520/

“Effective immediately, 100 will now be 5,100 and—I’m reading off the official statistics from my people—500 will be 25,500,” said Trump

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

If Trump could fire the watchdog he would

I look forward to Pete Hegseth's podcast "Last Call" debuting soon.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

This is a lie. Just completely made up numbers.

so we are just letting this terror happen in our communities? no elected folks have decided that this is enough -- not just with a stupid tweet but with consistent, concerted, unrelenting messaging to the American people, and using every level of power and influence at their disposal?

“We’re not looking for bagholders”

Trump has brought the crypto ethos to government: rules and accountability are for suckers. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

going door to door making people hate the administration

FDA Approves New Drug  That Reverses Effects Of Narcan

@gtconway.bsky.social is "all out of Fs to give" and he's ready to bring the fight to D.C. He joins Katie Phang to talk about a possible congressional run, why accountability must come first from the top down, and how he defines being a “conservative” in 2025. youtu.be/kiqYqrkkCpo?...

OTOH turns out to be a push poll

Oh I accept that it doesn't hurt him. Thats what I'm mad about.

I agree he disqualified himself and anyone who trusts that he would reliably vote against Trump the GOP at this point is super naive but people making the argument that the tattoo hurts him in the GE or the tattoo undercuts Dem’s political case against authoritarianism are using antiquated metric.

Oysterman's electoral case is what it is, but mildly jokerfying that voters and institutions don't care about his red flags. A Dem Trump is less likely than an R one at the national scale but this is how it would happen.

For the record, the tattoo is 9/10 disqualifying, lying to my fucking face about it when we both know you're lying is 15/10 disqualifying

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

I'll take the over bc lots of people on the right used him as an exemplar of Dem corruption/dishonesty. Cuellar was relatively anonymous.

Over/under on the number of days until Gold Bar Bob Menendez gets his sentence commuted? I'll start the bidding at 60.

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking. I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.
