LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ? TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged LANDERS: It wasn't though TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know? LANDERS: Your own AG said it TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

President Trump remarks on plans for Cuba at "Shield of the Americas" summit in Florida: "Cuba's in its last moments of life as it was. It'll have a great new life…That'll be an easy one." He added: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."

i dont think you can really understand the evilness of white christian evangelical nationalism without understanding that it exists as the antithesis of the black church and faith in america

Recorded this a few years ago and it still holds true.

That's my Friday night sorted. Dropkick Murphys have been walking the walk for a long, long time.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

There's a rational temptation in these moments to ask if what follows will be worse, and to let concern temper happiness. My two cents and experience from Trump's first term is it's important and good to celebrate victories when you get them. Kristi Noem is truly awful, we should be glad she's out

Democrats should put hold on vote for new DHS secy until ICE demands are met.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

If there was video of a Senate Dem giving a compound fracture to a Marine while wearing his dress blues, that guy would've been burned at the stake by close of business

What surprises me about Talarico is that he's a pretty standard religious-left candidate, not very different from a host of Dems who have run on their faith over the last twenty years or so. But the moment is apparently right for him to capture the zeitgeist.

A vote to fund the war is a vote for the war. Full stop.

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless. I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranian...

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime. And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

looks like he's running. a decade ago you could make the argument that this plan was too goofy but not anymore, the money has gotten so fucked since covid that you could run this play for another 10 years and still not correct the balance www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Genuinely incredible that the U.S. will celebrate the 250th without an Archivist of the United States.

🧵ok brace for what may be a longish thread! @lifewinning.com really has hit the bottom-line point. It's bananas. And/but, let me explain a little of how we got here, because that also matters right now: American Jews have not been able to agree on what "being Jewish" means for decades. 1/

Here at the Whipple building for the final day of a week of action where people from across the country came to Minneapolis to help and learn from us for when the federal government comes for their City. This isn’t over until ICE is abolished & Whipple with its inhumane conditions cease to exist. 1/

The distinctions we draw in library science between data, information, knowledge, and understanding are real. Like, life vs. death real.

We are really going to regret the technology we have built.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between. This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:
