UPDATE: The Arizona Senate has released the federal grand jury subpoena for the records related to the partisan audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election. Link to full record: www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

I’m sorry, but this is like seriously funny

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"

In retrospect, the Democrats might've been better off if Dave McCormick had won the 2022 Republican primary he lost to Dr. Oz by 972 votes, since McCormick beating Fetterman then would've kept him from beating Casey in 2024, and the party would have a more reliable vote now.

Just a reminder that you can read stuff on other social media without actively gifting your time and creativity there

I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days. A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.

Count Étienne Davignon, 93, the only remaining survivor among the 10 Belgians accused of involvement in the murder, was on Tuesday ordered to appear before a court over his potential participation in war crimes.

A Belgian aristocrat who served as diplomat and European commissioner will have to face trial regarding his possible involvement in the murder of Patrice Lumumba, the Congolese prime minister and independence leader assassinated in 1961. www.ft.com/content/16c5...

One of the things I've been thinking as we endure the Trump presidency is that we should grant reparations to the nations we've wronged.

I have been told by a reliable source that this is not true, that ACIP has not been disbanded and that HHS has not dropped the lawsuit.

What a horrible woman- and her husband was worse

Here's @bahmankalbasi.bsky.social's 2013 video of Sheldon Adelson, who was then about the age Donald Trump is now, suggesting a US nuclear strike on Iran as a negotiating tactic youtu.be/6sCW4IasWXc?... — watch to the end to see Bret Stephens say he agreed with him "98%"

White House dinner guests include Miriam Adelson, Trump donor whose late husband called for US nuclear strike on Iran — cites @bahmankalbasi.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

A top national security official resigns and confirms that Iran posed no imminent threat. Good riddance to Joe Kent, a disgraceful white supremacist, but that's a major public admission that there was NO justification for this war.

I mean. This from March 2022.

Joe Kent makes Matt Gaetz seem like a sober-minded statesman. If you spent 30 minutes chatting with Joe Kent about his views on foreign and domestic politics, it would make an episode of Fox and Friends feel like a refreshing dose of reality-based normalcy.

Another data point for the theory that the only significant pushback Trump will ever get from Republicans will come from the absolutely weirdest ideological extremists in his coalition, not from the so-called “moderate” establishment types. Kent, MTG, Massie, Rand Paul, etc

It’s pretty wild that even people who work for Trump describe him like he’s a baby who gets fooled in games of peekaboo instead of a grown man who makes his own decisions

Adding Harmeet Dhillon, head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, to the list of Trump Administration officials who don’t seem like they ever go to work. Dillon seems to spend the entire workday on X, posting dumb little jokes to herself, replying to influencers, and arguing with people

My favorite personal Joe Kent moment was right after the 2020 election where I had to insist, plead, beg him to understand that the Supreme Court wasn't going to hold a jury trial to determine if the Italians had used secret satellites to steal the election.

The US will play Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday, a meeting that comes after recent tensions between the two countries

INBOX: @expressnews.com reported that "negative information about Chávez's past could soon be reported in a national news outlet". I can confirm that La Unión del Pueblo Entero (LUPE), which was founded by César Chávez, has scrubbed mentions of him from their English and Spanish About Us pages:

The war & AIPAC are nightmares, but so is Joe Kent, one of the most openly fascist figures in Trump’s regime, a comrade of Proud Boys and Fuentes, a man who says Black Lives Matter was a child trafficking ring, a guy who complains that Hitler is misunderstood. Don’t take the bait.

scrapped in the 1960s! time.com/archive/6853...

This is not a typo. He actually said "dig me wust." Also, "dig we must" was an NYC energy company's slogan in the 50's.

Con Edison ad campaign whenever they dug up the streets, '50s-60s: Dig We Must, For Growing New York. The photo is from 1957. It's so old it's referenced in "The Manchurian Candidate" from 1962

"Dig we must" was the slogan of Con Ed in NYC in the 50s-60s. Uhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh🤪

The extent to which every single one of these guys has absolutely no idea what the fuck they're talking about is frankly stunning. You should be embarrassed to go out in public and spout shit like this. It should scar your soul and make you weep in shame, but that requires introspection, so...shit.

More details and context about what being a woman math major in the early-2000s was like and why it was so damaging here: cooperativeoverlapping.substack.com/p/a-fuller-s...

It took becoming a professor myself to realize the implications - what it means to be attracted to someone who categorically has less power than you. I don't know if it's disqualifying, but there are too many women not getting a platform as a result of behavior like this for me not to say something

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

we are going to win

Climate writer here. So.... *slams face into desk*

Really seems like Trump is unable to register about IQ without referencing a woman of color, even if they are completely disconnected from whatever topic he is rambling on about.

He’s at war in Iran without congressional authorization. He overthrew Venezuela by force. He threatened to invade a NATO ally. Now he wants to take Cuba and thinks he can do “anything he wants” with it. Where the hell are my Republican colleagues?

The president and his party have, of course, spent the last five years demanding every social network desists their factchecking efforts and defund misinformation research. And pulled funding for US government efforts tackling disinformation from adversaries. Ooops.

Atrocity upon atrocity. Every detail here is worse than the last. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

But he’s already won. And he doesn’t need any help. He literally said so.

Israeli forces shot all four members of the Bani Odeh family in the head, including their 5yo and 7yo. The 7yo, Othman, was blind and had special needs. This comes a day after Israeli settlers shot 28yo Amir Moatasem Odeh and stabbed his father.

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

Trump seems determined to turn his own failure in the Gulf into a calamity for Europe, NATO and possibly Ukraine www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Waiting to see how British media will report on the strong showing of left-wing candidates and the (nowhere to be seen) far right tsunami in the French local elections. My guess is that they won't.

A large inscription reading “CHILDREN” in russian had been written in front of the building. They bombed it anyway. They knew well what they were doing. Impunity always brings more evil.

As I sit through yet another russian Shahed attack on Kyiv, I'm thinking of one of russia's most horrific crimes — the targeted destruction of the Mariupol Drama Theater four years ago today. That airstrike killed hundreds of innocent people, mostly women and children who had sought shelter there.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

A large explosion hit Lebanese capital Beirut's southern suburbs on the night of March 15, and fire and smoke were seen following the blast.

We have to be clear on this. He’s playing fast and loose - and without care - with American lives.
