Agree.

The single most embarrassing speech in American history.

This is *the* thing no author can abide: An editor inserting a change **after** writer has seen "final proof" etc. A late update in a breaking news story? Sure. But columns, reviews, features, magazine pieces... No. Happened to me once. Refused to work with that editor ever again.

This makes me ill -- and furious. American Gestapo. Good God.

In case you haven't seen the Jesse Ventura video, see it now: www.youtube.com/shorts/cnF-D... These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.

Perfect on both counts @jfallows.bsky.social . Kelly brilliant retort echoing the ad that inspired me to write a book.

For no good reason but I think it's the team they have the best chance against.

Terrific analysis.

Such resonant historical truth in this one sentence.

Pretty much sums up America today.

I wanna watch Army Navy but from Booz Allen to the US Secret Service to Arcfield the jingoistic ads are repellant, to say nothing of the sight of Trump.

So Trump is a Somali pirate?

Someone explain to me how the "Guns don't kill people, people do" crowd rationalizes the boat strikes. Shouldn't they believe that "drugs don't kill people, people do."?

The wayfarer Perceiving the path to truth, Was struck with astonishment. It was thickly grown with weeds

Why are MS Now and CNN giving Trump all this free air time to lie and lie at his cabinet meeting? I don't get it. If there's news jump on it. So disappointing.

Part 1. One for all and all for one. The hundreds if not thousands of retired military officers who know Sen. Mark Kelly was right should issue a joint statement saying exactly what he said and challenge Hegseth to court msrtial them all.

C'mon man! The if is admittedly exhausting but still...IF Obama or Biden called 6 GOP officials seditious & called for their execution because they had told military personnel they don't have to obey ILLEGAL orders would the New York Times play the story on Page 16?

Post Opinion just gets more and more embarrassing.

"Things happen" is the sickest answer imaginable about murder, but coming from a megalomaniac thug not out of character.

Murderer of Jamal Khashoggi.

Revised comparison: My friend @vermontgmg.bsky.social hss a better one -- Bovino ss modern day Nathan Bedford Forrest leading Klan raids.

The odious Bovino thinks he's George Patton but is actually the Bull Connor of these times.

Ali Velshi's @velshi.com spoken essays the last few weeks have been fire. Brilliant.

Tonight's Packers loss totally on coach and QB. Defense terrific. Did not deserve this. Defense like the Democratic base. Fired up and resdy to go. Offense like the eight senators who caved. Limp and lame. So disheartening.

Packers only piling on to my dismay.

Dan Diamond and the Post continue to do vital reporting.

Zohran Mamdani’s success is a warning www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... I can't overstate how much I despise the new editorial board of the newspaper I once loved and owe my career to.

Wondrous sandhill cranes paying their now daily visit to our block in Madison. I love seeing them but worry. Are they here because their natural habitat has diminished? Will ICE rough them up and deport them?

New: Democrats are ramping up probes into Trump's $300M ballroom. @schiff.senate.gov sent a letter to the White House, demanding a “complete accounting” of the ballroom's financing and terms for donors @blumenthal.senate.gov demanding info from the contractors more w @jonathanreports.bsky.social

In defense of the White House ballroom My disgust with my old newspaper's editorial board in the Bezos/Lewis/O'Neal era has hit a new low. But then again Bezos money is involved; hence this pathetic argument for the golden bunker. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The Washington Post and NYT should have Chicago on the front page every single day. Stories, columns and photos. Every day.

How this all isn't front page material every day, in every newspaper, blows my mind

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Philip @pbump.com is this in fact something Washpost publicists promoted? That makes it doubly sickening.

Yes, a fitting metaphor. And no not as important as the larger awfulness he has loosed on our world. But this is not funny. It is hideous. This is the people's house; he is just an unfortunate temporary tenant. Every architect and historian needs to condemn this act of destruction.

The video Trump posted as a king dropping shitbombs on protesters is at once the low point in American civilization; an act of degradation that aptly encapsulates his presidency; an embarrassment that GOP officials will pretend they haven't seen; and a story the bollixed media will underplay.

This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

What exactly is a “Democrat program”? Medicare? Medicaid? Health insurance? 🤔

Agree. This happens time and time again.

Good god, what was this interviewer thinking?

Truly excellent new piece by Lincoln Caplan in @harvardmagazine.bsky.social on John Roberts, seen in full. Careful, meticulous, devastating case on how "institutionalist" has enabled destruction of crucial institutions. Including his now discredited court. www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

Good for Dave.

America enters a new, dark chapter: "Kavanaugh Raids" on entire buildings and neighborhoods, a chapter surely to be remembered as infamously as we now view the "Palmer Raids" of the first Red Scare. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Aug. 26: Stephen Miller says "the Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization." Sept. 25: Miller put in charge of coordinating a federal campaign to prosecute "domestic terrorist organizations."

The news side is still the Post doing important work. The editorial side is not the Post any more but an odious embarrassment.
