Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Indeed. Complaints about redistricting are invalid. Republicans did it everywhere and invalidated a Constitutional Amendment so they could do it on explicitly racial lines.

There are two choices: use the same levers of power as Republicans do, or let them win. There is no "principled" opposition.

A: They have all turned against Donald Trump for reasons other than him raping children.

Newly released records detail police response to lawmaker attacks Authorities first identified Vance Boelter as a suspect within three hours of the start of the politically motivated rampage.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

Insider trading is illegal...
but they don't care

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Two Palestinians Killed in Israeli Shooting Near West Bank School

There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS.

Genocidal religious terrorists both.

I think it’s telling that Trump calls the process of selecting and vetting, for instance, a Federal Reserve Chair, as “CASTING.”

Who will join The Shitshow next?!?

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

Judge dismisses Trump defamation suit against the WSJ:

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”

They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.

Japan makes billions off the free natural gas we give them. And you wonder why Aussies are pissed off… #auspol
