New Fox poll is absolutely crushing for Trump: *Approval on economy: 34-66 *Approval on inflation: 28-72 (!) *Dems now lead GOP on economy *55% say Trump mentally unfit for office On the pod, @gelliottmorris.com is so illuminating on all these numbers and much more: newrepublic.com/article/2094...

Police chases endanger everyone on the roads. Tag the car and track it later.

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

Everyone involved in this should be tried for murder.

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately

A bipartisan group of senators has introduced the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act to allow Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants to purchase hot rotisserie chicken with their benefits.

I am honored to assume the presidency of @asilorg.bsky.social. Our 4000 members share a mission: to foster the study of international law, and to promote the establishment and maintenance of international relations on the basis of law and justice. www.justsecurity.org/137021/remar...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since the CPJ began documenting them in 1992.

Elon Musk has also disrupted, by which I mean brutally ended, the lives of over a million poor children and adults globally by means of destroying USAID, but who gives a fuck, right?

TO ME a minimum requirement for being Health Secretary is that I gotta be able to trust that you wash your hands after you use the restroom man.

111 years ago, 1.5 million Armenians were killed - starved, tortured, and murdered. 37 countries recognise this as genocide. The UK still does not. It’s time we did.

Remembering Amal Khalil

Have her introduce Trump Saturday night. www.stripes.com/opinion/2026...

Hey White House press corps! Here’s someone you should invite to sit at your table Saturday night! A real journalist!

BREAKING: The Pentagon has fired the Stars and Stripes ombudsman — the role Congress created to protect the military paper's editorial independence — after she publicly criticized the DOD's overhaul of the publication. w/ @liamjscott.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

These villages are where some of my closest friends are from. They literally don’t know whether their grandma’s house, for eg, the one they’d spend every summer in, is physically there and/or wherever the Israelis stole her stuff. It’s that grim. Israel is in the business of destroying memories.

The genocidal Israeli army cannot get enough from just destroying entire villages and murdering its people. They also loot whatever they find from Lebanese homes. As in Gaza, the more intimate the objects they loot, the more they seem to be enjoying themselves. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“When Democrats’ own voters complain about their party in their own words, the complaint is not that Democrats are too liberal or “weak and woke”, it’s that they’re not fighting hard enough, particularly against Donald Trump.”

Diana Magnay: "on Wednesday we had 5 people killed, including the very prominent Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. If you want a symbol of the way that this ceasefire has been broken, the fact that Israel is prepared to kill a famous journalist during a supposed ceasefire is a mark of that"

I was very clear that the arson attacks were unacceptable & that our Jewish communities were fearful. For Labour to try & weaponise antisemitism against the only Jewish political leader in the UK is a choice. People see Labour for who they are. They will continue to fail.

I'm Jewish. I condemn genocide. I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide. The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.

The fact that the US Secretary of Health denies that pathogens cause disease should always be a much bigger story

James Talarico: John Cornyn said my plan to lower taxes for working Americans would ’explode the deficit.’ My question to Senator Cornyn is, were you worried about the deficit when you gave $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1 percent?

Here’s something I wrote about how ICE flights are getting longer and the shackling crueler: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

You can’t make this stuff up. The most corrupt first family of all time.

Some breaking news tonight in NY-10: Dan Goldman just announced he’s dropping $1 million into his own campaign AND that he’ll personally match all contributions above that!! (1/2)

I don't think this is how matching funds are supposed to work 🤷🏻‍♂️

The kids these days say “AI” in the same way that people our age say “bullshit” (“you didn’t do that, that’s AI!”) and I think that’s beautiful

Dad of two grade-schoolers here: can confirm that the kids are using “AI” as a synonym for “fake”

The Golden Age of Trump & Vance.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.

Neutrality in the face of genocide is evil.

The answer is no. He doesn’t give a damn about insider trading.

This is treating Trump v. United States as law. It is not law. It is anti-law. It belongs in that category of Supreme Court decisions which were not merely wrong, they were illegitimate and non-binding from the day they were issued. It is owed no more respect than Lincoln gave Dred Scott.

This is a truly astonishing set of facts. Just unbelievable. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/26/04...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Yes, I think the enormity of Elon Musk racking up Pol-Pot levels of mass killing is so hideous to contemplate that many people just….aren’t.

Elon simply CHOSE to consign a million Africans to death for really no reason but the pleasure of it and it’s barely in the public consciousness

Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon.

Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year. [1/2]

There's been no small amount of uproar over what RFK Jr has done. Lawmakers, advocacy groups, medical associations, and even 1000 HHS staffers have made calls for Kennedy’s resignation, firing, or removal from office. But still this disaster drags on... What will it take to get rid of him?

Please understand that only 1 of the last 153 batters Shohei Ohtani has faced during regular season games has scored.

Credit where credit is due. Biden should have done it. Obama should have done it. Trump did.

Man, this is absolutely huge, and I cannot believe Trump gets to claim it. There's no reason Biden's Justice Department couldn't have done this. Or Obama's!

This. Is. Fucking. Disqualifying.

“They said we will separate your head from your shoulders” Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil spoke about threats from Israel before they ultimately just killed her, then bombed rescuers. The timeline of her murder: today.lorientlejour.com/article/1504...
