It's silly and wrong to act like Trump was gonna be committed to pacifist foreign policy before the Israelis blackmailed him. And, yes, it is in fact anti-Semitic. For one thing, there's evidently a section of the American military establishment who have been gagging for war with Iran for decades.

I NEED HELP! Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats! I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again! Please circulate widely!

Personal news: I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining the @BaltimoreBanner as the new Washington Nationals reporter! I'm incredibly grateful for the chance to cover the Nationals as the Banner expands its coverage to D.C.

Excellent pizza and homemade ice cream here at Della Barba, post Pedalheads camp just down the street (daughter couldn’t even bike without training wheels to being pretty good and moved up a level after 2 days)

I asked Gemini to find a barbecue stand and it told me a long winded story about how you can't find decent barbecue outside West Armpit, NC, then it told me to drive into a lake. www.androidauthority.com/android-auto...

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

happy Monday, just wanted to let you all know that a player named Priscila Chinchilla scored seven goals in a match for the Costa Rican national team

I'm not a political scientist, but Viktor Orbán seems like a good reminder that every strongman seems infallible and unbeatable until they aren't

I am deeply concerned about the fact that Iran is really good at propaganda, they’re antisemitic as fuck, and they’re aiming they’re incredibly good antisemitic propaganda at us at the exact time the American populace is most primed to receive antisemitic messages.

Ah, so now he’s f*cking an Ottoman too

DC adds an average of 5,300 new housing units per year. Kenyan McDuffie's big plan is 12,000 new units by 2030. That's slower than the status quo! If that doesn't tell you what you need to know about McDuffie, IDK what will. hit.housingand.org/jurisdiction...

Yeah...

This resident of D.C., who has no voting representation in Congress, would appreciate it if you did this.

Sterling K. Brown explains the streaming economics of why we don’t get more eps

"J-pilled" is a very specific term that means "pilled on the Jewish Question" and refers exclusively to people who believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish control over world affairs glossing it as "skepticism of Israeli influence" is like calling blood libel "concerns about diet"

Since Trump said, I feel comfortable sharing my findings: Yes, the Navy is expanding a bunker under the East Wing. But it is an *expansion* of a complex continuity of government project that was built *from below* between 2002 and 2016.

Mayor Bowser Presents Mayor Bowser's MPD helped ICE kidnap our neighbors. The DC Council passed a bill to prevent MPD from helping ICE kidnap our neighbors, but Mayor Bowser refuses to sign that bill into law.

the way the american right slobbers over this absolute loser is something else

I have yet to see a piece in a prominent MAGA outlet that seeks to understand what motivated No Kings protesters. It’s all just “they were paid” or “they have TDS.” Meanwhile, the Tea Party inspired an avalanche of think pieces and books from centrists and leftists trying to figure it out.

Dub Gleed is the guy who trained Glup Shitto

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

I am the guy in charge of writing the PSI on bike tires, I figure no one cares what the tire pressure is, so I will make it as difficult as possible to read.

As a reminder: Flynn pleaded guilty in the first Trump term; was pardoned by Trump; he sued for politically motivated prosecution; and now Trump II admin settled and agreed to pay him an undisclosed sum of taxpayer $$$

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

Bingo, he is a POS unfit to be president in every way. Never stop hammering on that fact.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

If you're a Metro super fan, or someone who has collected or kept fun and weird Metro stuff from over the years (old farecards or tokens, the old paper bus transfers, Metro memorabilia), hit me up! I'm looking to chat with the most committed Metro nerds and stans out there.

Today the House Oversight Committee will be considering HR 5525 to outlaw automated traffic enforcement and no right on red in DC, since there are no other problems in the country. As always, when DC‘s local governance is under attack, Free DC is here. Follow along live with us in this 🧵

If you're talking about the beneficial aspects of dueling you're not having a good confirmation hearing

*GOP spends 20 years agitating for a war with Iran* *Trump withdraws from the JPOAC and assassinates Soleimani* *Trump declares that actually the US has been at war with Iran for a half century* "Shame on the perfidious Zionists for pushing the US into a war with Iran."

This brought me tears of laughter. Never change Pennsylvania. (sound off to peacefully appreciate a meteor; sound ON for the hilarious and profane reaction)
