what all Democrats everywhere have to look forward to if we fuck it up and nominate Graham Platner

Incredible!!

Yep, just an objectively terrible human being

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Every now and then the NYT's coverage of world events lives up to it being the paper of record. Both the current online front page (left) and the physical paper (right) today are excellent examples of journalism and headline writing. Reminds me of doing archival research on microfiche.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

huh, makes the whole 25 year period when the Shah was our top ally kind of awkward

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Warning, this eventually becomes graphic and shows Sen. Sheehy (and some police officers) breaking a Marine's arm. I'm sharing it because it shows the lead up to the more widely shared video and has a clearer angle showing how reckless the Senator's behavior was.

Finishing up Day 3 in the Paralympic Village, great to see my mixed doubles teammates starting off with a big W against a very good Latvian team! 🇺🇸🥌

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

This is the way. Congresswoman Crockett has a great future in the party and should certainly be looked to as a key player in the next Dem administration.

(Whispers) there’s a difference between orders that are illegal to follow and orders that are illegal to give, and this may have been the second but it probably wasn’t the first

this is a very mild tweet and I think it’s silly to be mad at it in either direction

I agree with this sentiment, but how does this not violate McCulloch/Supremacy Clause?

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

The Lady in Pink's up close video is here. Even if you can't watch (it's gruesome), it's important to understand what it shows. Alex Pretti, (no gun drawn), was helping a woman ICE had violently pushed to the ground. ICE pepper sprayed him, threw him to the ground, beat him, and shot him repeatedly.

May he rest in a peace that ICE agents never find.

This should be the compromise position. The demand should be to defund everything added to DHS last year.

Paul Clement's response to Alito's final question:

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This is the video the Eric Adams retweeted on his own account which I believe makes this criminal fraud. The Fox Business clip states that "New York City is launching a new digital token called NYC Token." That statement was materially misleading as NYC wasn't doing anything.

Eric Adams engaging in a new brazen fraud - scamming "investors" a mere 30 minutes after he launched a meme coin in a "rug pull" scheme. His marketing of the coin, named $NYC, suggests an apparently successful attempt to make people believe it was an official NYC crypto coin.

Great scene:

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor. The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

I have to imagine this is the rank and file MAGA reaction to the idea of open ended nation building in Venezuela. I'm sure they would have been fine with capturing the guy and leaving Venezuela to fend for itself. But running the country? No way they want that.

I can't imagine this is going to be popular. Who wants this? Why do we think this is a good idea? We suck at this.

Trump: "We're going to run Venezuela until a proper transition can take place." What the actual fuck!?

What a ridiculous carpet for a presidential address about starting an unauthorized war.

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
