Pete Hegseth is blaming Joe Biden for military vaccine mandates.

The flu shot’s been required since 1945.

Joe Biden was 3 years old in 1945.

The staggering scale of economic damage Trump's insane wars have cost and will continue to cost are absolutely insane.

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

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.

We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

"The cost to the American economy will grow with every day Trump fails to get his surrender executed. And the price Iran will extract is likely to grow, too."👇

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.

My hope is that someday, hundreds of years from now, the cautionary tale taken from the fall of the American empire is that you shouldn’t put the stupidest people on earth in charge.

even the organized journalistic opposition to this feels weak as shit

a "standing toast" to the First Amendment means nothing

these are fascists who murdered U.S. civilians

How 2 fringe groups and a friendly judge helped pull off Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure Emails obtained by CalMatters trace the development of a years-long case that ultimately led to the unprecedented seizure of 650,000 ballots.

Anat Rubin and I co-wrote a story for @calmatters.org about the people behind Sheriff Chad Bianco's "election investigation" -- sovereign citizens, Christian nationalists, and "constitutional sheriffs."

Whoops! The Trump Executive Order might accidentally nuke the NCAA's remaining legal protections and open them up for EVEN MORE lawsuits.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Before this is all over we’re going to need to deal ruthlessly with a system that allows the President’s son in law authority over US foreign policy.

The constitution expressly prohibits writs of attainder so we need to be creative.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.

Trump has basically turned the presidency into a giant Bribe Delivery System.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Kavanaugh Stops

Honestly, I would welcome the cold.

Stupid perimenopause has me feeling like a rotisserie chicken with these hot flashes.

Putin’s invasion increased NATO membership. Trump’s actions caused Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America to move on.

I would love it more if I didn’t develop insane tree pollen allergies. I didn’t have them growing up. I love spring in Maryland. It’s a beautiful state.

I wish it loved me back.

I know the Care Bears said sharing is caring.

They lied.

Lovely evening. Crazy weather here with the temp drop tonight.
