PS Some of you reading the post probably thought I was joking about one of Hegseth's drives for the facial hair decision in our military members being jealousy. Let me be clear: I couldn't be more serious.

⚽🕹️ The first official World Cup computer game was a fiasco. WORLD CUP CARNIVAL: MEXICO '86 was just a tweaked re-release of Artic Computing's World Cup Football, to cash in on the tournament at over 4× the original price. 💸 Its awfulness has been saved for posterity ⤵️ archive.org/search?tab=a...

Poor, pathetic Trump… apnews.com/article/iran...

New US-Canada bridge to open after delay

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.

Little Kash has been called to the principal's office... Weekend's off bro.

They're probably pumping up old Mitch every twenty minutes with the same stuff they use to keep Trump upright on a daily basis.

Can we conclude without controversy that Trump is a disgusting bigot whose hatred of Black people is so deep, pure and everlasting that he will smear children to satisfy his cravings? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Sometimes I get an itch inside my ear, and I like to pretend it is the space slug from Wrath of Kahn

That’s not quite true. But I do like cartoonists.

Trump left instructions for what to do if Iran killed him #AlterNet

At this point, Donald Trump is more likely to have a degenerative disease named after him than a ballroom.

Rodents were unfairly blamed.

If Democrats don't give up their addiction to corporate donors, they will be doomed to lose again and again.

So good.

Musk has been tweeting all day, including right around the time this interview was supposed to be taking place lol

I believe he has been consistently alleged to be like this for decades.

Mitch McConnell, who has not been seen in public in almost a month, is hardly the first member of Congress to go MIA, Marie-Rose Sheinerman reports. She explores how lawmakers have been able to shield their conditions from the public:

Donald Trump thinks we should all stop worrying about inflation and simply "love it." Donald Trump "doesn't care about Americans' financial situation." Donald Trump "wants to drive housing prices up." We're not taking our advice from the President in Illinois.

What about Japan though?

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

Live look at Trump not giving a damn that his reckless war of choice is making it even harder for Americans to afford gas, groceries, and rent. #TrumpsWarOfChoice

JUST IN: A source tells NewsNation that Mitch McConnell is “alive” and “not brain dead.” He’s recovering in rehab and is unlikely to return to the Senate next week. The source says he’s mentally “fine.”

This is Oreo. He will eventually eat the blueberry. But first he must establish dominance over it. 12/10 (TT: oreominibernedoodle)

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 Er-excuse me, sir. This Japanese citizen did not know that my nation was the Islamic Republic of Japan. Did we fire 11 missiles? Please, sir. In your job, Such casual “whatever” mistakes won’t cut it.

Conventional wisdom, with which I agree: Trump is more narcissistic, self-absorbed, and megalomaniacal than ever. Conventional wisdom, with which I disagree: Oh c’mon, Trump understands he really can’t run again. My hunch: Trump “understands” no such thing. He wants to run. He’ll try to.

Iran Speaker of Parliament Ghalibaf:

Trump's taking credit for Walmart's price cuts. There's just one problem: Walmart is telling a very different story.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

"In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City, the financial district, by two to one. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam and Copenhagen, though cycling is still growing in those cities, too."

Breaking: A judge has ordered Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million plus interest after his Supreme Court appeal failed. It's payday, Trump.

Democrats became great by fighting the far left—and today’s party can learn crucial lessons from those battles, David Brooks argues:

Mark Rutte: "This summit has shown that the alliance is stronger than ever. An alliance that is united." 🙃

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

Make of it what you will 😁

“I did believe the election was stolen and the rioters were patriots - until I turned off Fox News.”

A take from Canada: "...that is the American way. The modern twist is that you don’t have to bother finding a back room to do it in. You can do it in ...the Oval Office. The system is there to be gamed. Only suckers, losers and foreigners play by its rules." www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b6d0d2c...
