Hegseth sneered about the military's logistical experts, and now he's got ships stuck with sailors almost starving on them.
But he's still sure the dismissive attitude about the flu won't come back to bite him.

Me: It's called "Ooh Ahh Just a Little Bit."

This essay, by @timgrierson.bsky.social, on Leaving Neverland and how so many people have once again chosen to ignore the reality of Michael Jacksonβs legacy is as excellent as others have said: www.avclub.com/leaving-neve...
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
An image from MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL: Scrooge calls down to a Bunny on the street "You there, boy! What day is it?" but this Scrooge has a MaxFun logo on his chest. Probably he didn't get into MaxFun until after the ghosts visited him, because pre-visit Scrooge was too much of a jerk to be a MaxFun member. Let's not overthink it, ok?

Trust me, if D'Souza says it's a fact, it is quite the opposite.
(Bill Hicks voice) "Looks like we got ourselves a *reader*"
This piece begins with Amity Shlaes' most common and most deceitful trick -- citing the unemployment numbers in 1938, when the country fell into a recession because FDR had been persuaded to *ease off* the New Deal, as proof that the New Deal didn't work.
Pure hackery.
Boots on the Groundhog Day
how is this literally happening in real life
We've had administrations where the Civil Rights Division took a less watchful eye to the rights of racial minorities or diverted its energies to address other issues, but this is the first administration in history to pervert it wholly into a tool to *hurt* the people its supposed to protect.

ICYMI!
This week, our journey through the *entire* feature filmography of ROBERT ALTMAN continued, with @markerryan625.bsky.social & @mangiotto.bsky.social placing picks 28 to 22 on the list, while guest co-commish @aduralde.bsky.social watched in horror!

This man is the son and namesake of Rodney Mims Cook, Sr., who was a rare racial liberal in 1960s Atlanta. If you've read WHITE FLIGHT, he was one of the leading voices against the Peyton Wall and one of the few legislators to back seating Julian Bond.
Now his son is building a monument to a racist
Absolutely.
"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."
That's a pretty simple and effective message.
If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.
Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.
My random thought for 2028: Campaigning directly to parents on the issue of closely regulating AI friend programs used by minors could be a big winning issue for a Democrat among a lot of key constituencies.
Would it be impolite to mention that Barack Obama got a deal with Iran with no bombing, no destruction, no schoolgirls killed, no US soldiers killed, no Strait closed, and no global economic crisis?
It's a choice to invite a craven lickspittle like Stefanik to come on your program and spew lies, even if you push back on them.
"How can we connect with working-class voters?"
"Maybe we could just stand up against the industry that's making them poorer, sicker and less likely to find good employment?"
"Meh."
