How can this non-war war be considered a success if it ends with Iran having the same amount of enriched uranium that it had before the war?

President Trump threatened to obliterate every power station and bridge in a country of 90 million people on Tuesday night in prime time and basically no one is bothering to even ask him how that is not a “war” that would require authorization from Congress under Article I of the Constitution.

Who Killed Roe v. Wade?
The decades-long plot against abortion rights had many fathers, who were largely lost to history until now.

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Remember the lady in the penis costume who was tackled by cops at the October No Kings protests? Not only have they not dropped the charges, they've added new ones. Her trial is set for later this month.

Shortly after the aid cuts, NPR did a piece on a priest scouring the countryside for anyone willing to sell him their rationed HIV meds so that an orphan he looks after wouldn't die. Of course Africa is resilient. Of course people are resilient. That doesn't mean people shouldn't hang for this.

It’s not that our government doesn’t have the money to help everyday Americans to improve their lives. It’s that the government doesn’t view every day Americans as the priority. Until they do, lives will worsen.

This is the inevitable conclusion of anyone paying attention. And yet not a whiff of it in the Washington media coverage of the attacks on DEI. Why? Because writing the truth is too dangerous for an industry obsessed with not taking sides.

This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.

Good riddance to Attorney General Bondi. The problem for the U.S., DOJ, and law is that she has not been fired for her wrongdoing. She has been fired for not being better at doing wrong.
