3/ Roundup was sold to farmers & suburban gardeners as a supposedly safe way to kill anything but leaves. It's been dogged by controversy for decades, and prompted billions in lawsuit judgements. So why are we spraying it where people camp, hunt, forage, and fish? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

NYT writing about a war criminal trying to find his fellow crimers like he's Heathcliff on the moors.

All of this is worrisome. And now Palantir is so integrated into gov it'll be hard to get them out. "The way in which Palantir grew caused unease within its own ranks. A year ago, some former Palantir employees wrote an open letter about the violation of the company’s prior ethical guardrails."

We have to prosecute them.

This is a boringly accurate, purely factual description of events. And again, this is simply not receiving the same breathless BIDEN FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN type of coverage, even though this is orders of magnitude worse on every dimension. The two parties simply are not held to the same standards.

The left would have us believe that all cultures are equal. But in reality, some produce marvels while others turn out AI slop and descend into cocaine-fueled fascism. by Alex Karp

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

But I was told he was just a balls and strikes umpire guy...

Talk about barbarians at the gate. But that this desecration barely registers means it's not just the terrible people rampaging through the Kennedy Center to fear. It's us.

The mining process exposes minerals to rain that creates sulphuric acid ergo Minnesota is a bad location. The company is foreign owned, would ship to China and back, no discernible US benefit per @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

My only question is when do these evil jerkoffs go to jail. This is murder pain and simple. I believe they are practicing for the time when they decide to come after us. I have no doubt they would kill to stay in power.

Whew these times are tough. A torrent of bad news on the envioronment today.

Never, ever, ever, ever vote for a Republican for any office.

plenty of private sector jobs that are fine or even good for society. "lobbyist for Kalshi and Coinbase" is not among them

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

"This is chicanery" Rep Joyce Beatty's (D-OH) new court filing challenging Trump's renaming & shuttering of Kennedy Center "Defendants have no meaningful answer to the fact that they have renamed the Kennedy Ctr in open defiance of the organic statute" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

For decades, men from Milwaukee voided even the appearance of cannibalism. Jeffery Dahmer is taking a different approach.

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

Insane blasphemy

Agree that it's an inappropriate focus for the story.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

Hungary’s prime minister is more important to Donald Trump than all of his voters put together, than all Americans, than America itself, and it’s not even close. I wrote an essay yesterday to explain why: snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

I still do not understand why Democrats in Congress did not pick an enormous fight over this.

When words work.

Everyone should read the entire thread and QTs on the great Paul Robeson. One piece of his legacy I have not seen: gridiron star. At Rutgers, Robeson was a two-time All-American and perhaps the best player in collegiate ball. He then played two historic years in the APFA/NFL.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

A writer's moral reckoning we readers also need to act upon. "The silence was not neutral. The silence was a choice. And the choice had a price, paid not by me but by the people on the other side of the gap between what I believed and what I was willing to say."

The demolition of it all is still astounding.

Let’s go.

Framing the USPS as a business rather than a service. Enraging.

Statement from survivors. “Survivors have done their part now it’s time for those in power to do theirs.” Melania says “center survivors” but doesn’t consult with them about her “testify before congress” idea. Very performative. Esp. when DOJ that her husband controls won’t even meet with survivors.

The most important information to read today. And tomorrow. And the day after tomorrow. And the day after...

Here's an excerpt. The 76ers are as dead as Embiid's appendix so there's no excuse not to read the whole column and tell me what you think

The least godly president in my lifetime to attack the most devout president in my lifetime for being anti-religious.

This is untenable. Especially if this was done at the behest of Gavin Newsom, as the article suggests.

They served our country

On what grounds is this happening?

…opposition needs to impose intra party punishments for associating with Halston Picker

Daily Take Thom's daily take on the news of the day @hartmannreport.com

Big crowd in front of the White House right now. Protesting against Trump’s threats to Iran

"It wasn’t policy that drew Trump’s supporters; it was license. Voters tired of being spoken to in ... insincere platitudes revelled in Trump’s abusive disregard... “political disinhibition” = act[ing] out IRL with the same asshole entitlement that had previously been limited to online trolling."

This is already an indelible stain on our national history, culture, consciousness, influence, standing And EVERY SINGLE member of the group that could STOP THIS immediately—the Republican members of the House and Senate—stands there in the dock of history's judgment, like quislings of other eras
