Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.

Cosign. My sense is that this is another pernicious word introduced/popularized by W & his administration (other main villain: "homeland"). Before then I don't think it was was used as much as a synonym for president. Think most insecure presidents about the role fetishize the title most)

I don't think I've ever liked Chotiner more. There's a lot of RW hacks but the way she keeps getting hired by mainstream institutions b/c she gives off some (bs) whiff of intellectual seriousness drives me nuts. She's a shit partisan who worked (enthusiastically) for neo-segregationist Jeff Sessions

If. you're buying rack how can a tailor fix this?

If this was a Democratic president Fox new would be running this picture 24/7 and calling for impeachment.

If we're talking 1200s that's just about when gunpowder came to Europe so, purely from a strategic point of view: repeating guns w/rifled barrels. Not hard to make a weapon loads more advanced than anything and make them on scale. That and some basic modern medicine (antibiotics, aspirin, hygieneP

My belief, and I know I'm a little optimistic about this is to construct a novel state-level RICO case in 2028 to ensnare Miller, Bovino & even Trump for ordering this. Use pardons (and Trump's alleged preemptive promise) as evidence of conspiracy. I know hurdles but worth it to expose crimes.

Jewiish, so clearly have the expertise to take on the Pope

Yes! Ptolemaic studies needs a chair!

Good that lets the J.D. Vance Professorship of Catholic Theology open for me.

Exclusive: Pentagon ramps up planning of possible military ops in Cuba Pentagon plans for a possible Cuba operation have accelerated as officials prepare for a potential order from Donald Trump, USA TODAY has learned.

Exactly how many unnecessary wars is Congress gonna let this mentally unfit president start before it steps in and does its job?www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/04...

shorter Vance: The Pope is engaged in popery

So the Pope is engaged in popery?

Brad Pitt's like been there, done that

Your favorite Heated Rivalry spinoff, right answers only

A Divided America Processes a War That Trump Has Scarcely Explained

6 in 10 Americans oppose the Iran war (a number that's growing) but the NYT describes that as "largely" partisan

Y’all are wild

Here's the thing: As bad as it is for that, the minute I stopped needing to use footnotes in my writing, I completely abandoned Word altogether in favor of more bare bones (and thus distraction free) programs. Haven't opened Word in *years*

👏👏

Your moment of zen today. (Prediction: At some point you'll need it)

So what this is the fault of us Jews who believe only in the Old Testament? Blaming it on the Old Testament is itself a subtle form of anti-semitism.

Just to be clear This is an invidious and subtle old form of anti-semitism that doesn't need to be invoked to delegitimate Hegseths' bastardized Christianity

Don't take my word for it. Take a Rabbi's bsky.app/profile/rabb...

um, yes it is

FYI In 1960 one of the most prominent Protestant leaders to warn against electing a Catholic president was Norman Vincent Peale. A young Donald Trump used to attend services at Peale’s NYC church.

Orbán turns out to be more of a democrat than the U.S. president and a nontrivial number of GOP candidates.

West Wing sequel unlocked: Jeb Bartlett — President, Catholic, Economics Nobel — gets elected Pope.

The fact that Anthropic has built a model that can jump out of the sandbox and rapidly exploit cyber vulnerabilities is another sign that perhaps these companies shouldn’t be developing these models and the government should be more heavily regulating and licensing them.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!
