One of these mornings I would like to wake up to news that isn’t insane

Drove and listened to FoxNews this morning, major stories are Nancy Guthrie, El Paso airspace, and jobs report... No mention of Epstein updates.

Ignorance is a choice.

Fun fact: The divorce scene in the Kid Rock show was an actual divorce showing a wife leaving her conservative husband.

Nuts, I didn't have 'feeling kinda terroristy' on my 2026 bingo card.

Donald Trump's Ghastly Day Defeat in the courts. Defeat in Congress. Defeat in Indiana.

What happened in Indiana — an outburst of Republican courage — was as rare as a sighting of Bigfoot, Lindsey Graham’s spine, or natural breasts at Mar-a-Lago. And it rattled and enraged all of TrumpWorld.

Will Aaron Rodgers play next week and how does the Steelers offense look without him?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Solar power named the world’s cheapest energy source Solar energy is now so cheap it costs as little as €0.023 to produce one unit of power, a new study has found.

ICYMI: The Department of Veterans Affairs announced Wednesday that it is terminating collective bargaining agreements with more than half a dozen unions that represent most of its more than 350,000 unionized employees.

The Bears' deployment of their skill players last years was...a little curious at times.

On the pod, @carmiev.bsky.social and I talked about how Ben Johnson excels at finding roles for his offensive stars. NFC North preview out now.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

🚨🚨A Trump political rally at Fort Bragg. Soldiers cheering attacks on the press and elected officials. And silence from U.S. Army leadership.

MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton calls it what it is: a stain on the military—and urges top brass to correct course.

Now.

I think there's a point to make here.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

Porthos: Where is he? I woke up and he was gone
Aramis: He left a note, says he wants be a line judge
Porthos: what the fuck. So now we're the 2 Musketeers. This is bullshit

Marie Harf nails it: Musk didn’t uncover waste—he fired Veterans, slashed Medicaid, and shut down aid to the world’s most vulnerable.

Now China’s stepping in—and Republicans are stuck defending a billionaire with a chainsaw.

This is the cost of cowardice.

MAGA friend tells me about his mentally unstable brother who got hit while riding his bike No insurance He is doing everything he can to make sure his brother gets things he has voted against his entire life and He doesn't understand why the system doesn't have any empathy for his situation

Sigh

Crabageddon looks almost certain

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof 7 may enforce any law or regulation regulating artifi8 cial intelligence models, artificial intelligence sys9 tems, or automated decision systems during the 10- 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment 11 of this Act.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
