"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter" "We're signing a health care plan within two weeks" "They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours" Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Trump should be designated a supply chain risk www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

There are few things more dangerous than a political movement convinced that God needs help finishing His work. But that is exactly the territory we are entering now. Going Deeper: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

NEW EPISODE: I sit down with Tim Miller of The Bulwark. We discussed defending democracy against Trump's authoritarian project. Tim pulls no punches on what he's witnessed from inside the Republican Party — and why so many elites are choosing to stay silent www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHcA...

This is Peanut. He's on someone's lap, wearing a fleece-lined jacket, and safe inside a car. But he's positive he could take that wolf. 12/10 (TT: peanutthepomapoo)

Yes, and that's how gambling went from Americans legally wagering $4.9 billion on sports in 2017 to $160 billion last year. We do it because we can, not because times are bad. If anything, it's a sign of how flush we are that people can spend like this on gambling (and porn)

👀 Coming soon, a post about another issue unfolding inside CDC. About a workforce that’s been suffering for over a year. About leadership that can’t get on the same page — and that includes Lynda Chapman. Stay tuned. Goodnight, people. 🌓

BREAKING NEWS: Large fires continue to erupt in oil storage tanks in the Bahraini city of Muharraq after they were targeted by an Iranian suicide drone.

Wait, does this mean there are other drones that have a strong will to live?

Staggering revelations in the Epstein Files (and no doubt, this is just the tip of the iceberg). In 2019, Donald Trump's DOJ shut down New Mexico state investigators into gruesome alleged crimes at Jeffrey Epstein's 'Zorro Ranch'. Everyone on the planet must watch this video. Please share widely.

Everyone knows our offensive capabilities are unrivaled. No surprises there. One thing that worries me is that we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Ukraine. Warfare has changed, and we’re behind the eight ball. We should have been pouring money into counter-drone technology.

Also fuck you, Grammarly and Superhuman. I understand you’ve already withdrawn the product. If not, you’ll be hearing from my lawyer.

Readers may not be aware that all Philip had to do was ask nicely and he already got my “expert advice” on his (very good) book Citizen Scholar. No slop, no bullshit. We should all do more of that: Reach out to humans we know and/or trust.

This is a big fat lie. And this guy was in charge of our negotiations with Iran that involved all sorts of technical details? It’s truly amateur hour.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Do not let Trump or Hegseth use the convenient excuse of "outdated data" so easily. A man who will rape children in his own country will not bat an eyelash to murder them in another. Investigate this incident to the ends of the earth.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Meanwhile, the Forest Service is dutifully controlling IT costs by doing without, and preparing to make painful reductions in fleet costs. We do what we’re asked to help be good stewards of taxpayer funds. It’s tough to see DoD excess in contrast.

"The COVID-19 pandemic at 6 years: Mass death, debilitation and media silence" "The pandemic has killed over 30 million people worldwide, left more than 400 million suffering from Long COVID... It is one of the most catastrophic events in modern history—and it is not over."

“I think we are deluding ourselves if we think this is a regional war. It is a regional war with global consequences.” I spoke about terrorism and #Iran for @pbsnews.org Newshour.

A pretty great conversation with Ed Elson and @katie0martin.ft.com about what financial markets can tell us at critical moments, and what they're telling us about the war in Iran and America's place in the world. youtu.be/Jr7X0tlOl1k?...

Just now off the Senate floor: Susan Collins gets into an elevator. Chuck Schumer walks into that elevator behind her. Susan Collins quickly walks out before the door closes and looks for another elevator.

Finally searched “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli” to find this. Our top boss at U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, by the way. Brooke could have just polled some former Forest Service seasonals to find more creative ways to stretch a dollar. Or just read a book? leannebrown.com/good-and-che...

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had. So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

Again, this is a feature of Tomahawk route planning. Tomahawk doesn’t know where it is unless it makes a number of unique terrain matches over an ingress route that must extend for several hundred kilometers. In 2003 routes over Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran were used during strikes on Iraq.

Funny response by someone who 1) thinks they’re better at verifying these kinds of videos than Bellingcat is and 2) can’t imagine that mountains come in different sizes and the person filming is standing on a higher one

Crazy video of 20 Tomahawks flying through the Iraqi Kurdish mountains near Sulaymaniyah (filmed by someone standing *above* them), seemingly fired from Navy vessels in the Mediterranean

Joint venture between #VA & #DoJ is protecting #veterans’ rights by ….. working to take them away. The idea that the federal gov’t needs to get involved in these proceedings is absurd. Local medical centers are already navigating these challenging situations.
