Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

The Maine Primary is not until June 9. There are 7 dem candidates registered, including the woman who Collins called the cops on for writing messages in sidewalk chalk, a former USAID worker who work for the Dept. of the Environment, and several veterans. mainemorningstar.com/race-details...

He'll be a Republican within 4 years.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Take two minutes to watch this piece with NYT photojournalist Kenny Holston, the only news photographer on the House floor during Trump’s State of the Union speech. There’s one shot in particular that will likely end up in the history books. See if you catch which one.

They're trying to do the "if you repeat it often enough, people will start assuming it MUST be true, because they've heard it so often" thing.

This is the same rag that endorsed W. Some folk’ boycotts are ov a quarter century old by now. At the very least the common bonus 15 IQ points for their smart writing style is long gone. Harrumph!

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top. just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

I think Pritzker is more of a leader than Newsom. The party doesn't have any true leader right now, but that doesn't mean they're lost.

If it's anyone it's Ro Khanna, this is centrist bullshit propaganda

Back in 2003-8 democrats used to do all of this stupid mouth jiggling about what a bad man Saddam was instead of just saying “end the war.” It was dumb then, and it’s dumb now.

fuck this shit

And the same people caping for Platner & Newsom are telling us that Jasmine Crockett is unlectable because she's a Black woman. That's the only reason they think she can't win.

No Persian ever would wear a shirt that says "property of Allah" or the flag That's some capitalist consumer bullshit only Christians are trashy enough to engage in

Who bombed the school?

And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by, He call’d them untaught knaves, unmannerly

Since Mahmoud Khalil's initial immigration hearing, new evidence has come to light that makes clear the government targeted him solely for his speech. That's why we have filed a new motion with the Board of Immigration Appeals urging them to consider these documents.

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

It took years and billions of dollars for the U.S. Defense Department to stockpile these munitions. It now risks depleting them in a matter of weeks.

Arif's video is so precise, so efficient, it's like laser surgery. Definitely worth watching even if you know you already agree, just as an example of how compact and powerful a well crafted argument can be

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

Next up, a review of the religious affiliations of the people who recently killed children in a school. 🦗 🦗 🦗

The only way to prioritize "a populist who fights" over a proven entity as a bridge candidate is if you are so happily mired in unexamined whiteness that you're willing to disregard every terrible thing about this man because you know what he's terrible about won't harm you.

Looks like I'm the same age as Paris Hilton

The president doesn't have the power to do either one of these things but it's funny that "throw the us military into an illegal war with iran" was effortless while everyone knew "cap credit card interest rates" was impossible & grandpa just saying stuff. And by funny I mean very dark

For MONTHS my wife has been singing “taste the goodness of the biscuit” and none of us knew why UNTIL NOW youtu.be/SbqzmasdBYc

Every single person insisting that 78 year old Janet Mills is too old to serve six years as a Senator so they have not choice but to support a Nazi wanted to give 79 year old Bernie Sanders eight years as President in 2020.

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

It’s my haircut day so here’s my reminder that Readimasks are n95s with no earstraps. If you also want to get a good grade in haircut customer (which is normal to want and possible to achieve), these are great for your stylist not having to work around mask straps. alliantbiotech.com/product/read...

"Estonians refer to AI as "kratt," a mythical creature made of hay or household implements and animated by blood ... kratt was notable for doing everything the master ordered it to and was mostly used for stealing."

This will age as well as when @brianstelter.bsky.social wrote that tweet saying women shouldn’t be worried about Republicans going full Handmaiden’s Tale. Then they banned abortion. And he deleted the tweet and never referenced it.

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist. It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.

Actually, it is quite literally the job of the Commander in Chief to have a plan. And Republicans in Congress are too weak and spineless to stand up to him and defend their constitutional role, which is endangering our men and women in uniform.

Is atrocity cronut trending yet?

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up. Really. Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

He beat Bush’s domestic death toll with COVID, now our boy Trump is pushing for the dead American soldiers benchmark.

Today we’re launching a sister publication, Iran War Dispatches. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be launching daily reporting and updates on the war there. We'll have the human interest lens of The Counteroffensive, but aimed at this region instead. Sign up — it’s free! www.iranwar.news

In Texas, “2.2% of all summer deaths were caused by moderate and extreme heat.” Heat’s toll is hugely under counted.

"Mr President please provide a detailed account of your strategic considerations and timeline for withdrawal" my dude he just invaded an American city for a month because of a youtube video

I am at an antiwar protest in downtown Portland, one of dozens of spontaneous reactions to Trump's unprovoked decision to attack Iran

The Situation Room is literally a blanket fort

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

Doesn’t matter how “never trump” the old school Conservatives are, they’ve never met a war in the Middle East they didn’t get excited about.

I have known this man for a decade or so and have never once heard him utter a curse word out loud. But man does this call for it.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest. In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Somalia, speaking for the A3, says they are steadfast in their commitment to the fundamental principle of international law, even as they recognize the real concerns of the actors involved. They say it’s important for all parties to exercise restraint and responsibility and to seek dialogue

How would you know that the attack was 1) illegal and 2) w/o clear justification?
