Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Talk about a self-defeating leader.
Trump is pushing our allies into the arms of China while we fund genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, we left the Paris accords and the rest of the world is investing in clean renewable energy.
Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
Imagine a news media capable of telling the truth like this without trying to both sides "we'll have to leave it there" everything to death.
I don't think the whole thing needs reform, per se. I think that this whole thing requires a Congress that takes its oath seriously and an Executive that has integrity and a moral compass.
Is this legal?
Stefanik has lost her mind.
The Art of Pretending there’s a Deal
Aren't we holding the world hostage with our blockade? I'm serious, just wondering if that's true or not.
Note: I'm pretty sure this is a 2018 speech to AIPAC.
It's worth listening to Schumer in full. What he's saying, in part, is that many Palestinians don't acknowledge Israel's right to exist. But his argument that the Torah trumps all the history since the Torah is... well, he's not naive. So what do you call it?
Just heard your message in Barcelona. Excited to see concrete action steps and policies.
Remarkable SCOTUS reporting in the NYTimes, which pretty much confirms what observers have always assumed, but still astonishes. (Gift link)

Yet another ICE inmate death is ruled a homicide by medical examiners.
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Let's all use this occasion to take a look at the many ways Tennessee Republicans have shown how much they value and respect the Traditional Nuclear Family™
Put aside, for a moment, what a fucking mockery this makes of the law -- how plain it makes it that conservative jurisprudence works backward from its desired outcomes. Lots of other people have yelled about that. It's worth yelling about. Instead, though, let's look at the substance.
Great meeting today in King William County and an opportunity to hear from @elizabeth4virginia.bsky.social along with election commissioners and a member of the board of supervisors. Lots of discussions about how to restore trust and empower the people of Virginia.
We're all about to see the limitations of a Sola Scriptura approach divorced from a faith tradition.
I'm really sad about this
Considering how it makes me want to punch someone in the throat, yes, it is "good" at that. I'm still curious about how we'll counteract this evil and build something good while holding the guilty accountable.
Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.
ICE says 81% arrested in Operation Midway Blitz had no convictions, falsely asserts no citizens arrested

Prices sure went up in a hurry
And yet, especially American Catholics overwhelmingly support things like birth control access for women. Partly because of the violent patriarchy exemplified by the Trump Administration.
You should read up on Dan Diermeier.
How the movie ends is what really needs our attention.
"... you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men, but I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd..."

"I think we should be leaving now."
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea."
Crypto bros and pirates don't need campaign funds...
