“Hello I am Thomas from Potato Town and I hate Muslims” —One of the 100 most powerful legislators on the face of the earth

I think Graham Platner will win simply because the Dems need a stupid senator as a counterpart to Tommy Tuberville. Maybe they’ll get stuck in an elevator together or that silly train they have under the Capitol

Mamdani has said he would arrest Netanyahu, wanted on an ICC warrant, if he entered New York City. Smotrich is also wanted by the ICC but Mamdani lets him march in a pro-genocide procession.

Worth noting explicitly that Trump's "ceasefire" announcement seems to be operating under this framework 1. Hezbollah stop all activity, period 2. Israel only stops bombing Beirut, but can bomb everything else. This is called you cease, I fire. It's what was already happening before.

Israel has killed or injured 11 children in Lebanon every day, as it expanded strikes across the country despite a ceasefire.

Ah a neat list of Jacob DeGrom’s fathers

How come no one told me that the folks trying to keep Denny Blaine Beach open and nude had retained Perkins Coie, one of the largest law firms on the planet of earth

Great interview of Marc Lynch on how the US has approached MENA "What did we do with our power? (after 1990)... U.S. policy largely succeeded during that period in ... keeping Israel secure, keeping the oil flowing... But this came at the expense of virtually everybody who lived in the region..."

There is something beautiful about how the most pro Israel countries on the planet are the white supremacist government in Washington and a literal slaver state on the Persian Gulf

Economist challenge: if the economy is good, then you should easily be able to give me $300. So where is it?

Some very funny losses out of Texas tonight. I highly recommend googling a bit about Briscoe Cain, the Men in Black creature photographed here:

This is going to be an important struggle to wage. I wrote this in 2024:

Abortion bans kill pregnant people and do lasting harm to families around the world. This has been true since I started working in global health in the nineties; its still true today. There is no such thing as "Pro-life." You can't be pro-life and decide other people should die bc of your policies.

The spin on Santa’s chimney sweeper is sick

I was at Delaney Hall yesterday. Everything the detainees wrote in their S.O.S. letter is 100% correct. DHS is lying to keep their abuses from being exposed. And to make things worse, they pepper sprayed @kim.senate.gov and are lying about it to cover their tracks.

My startup, which is renowned for moving fast and breaking things, has applied to receive weapons-grade plutonium
