So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

An article from the Huffington Post about Patel arguing with an NBC reporter.

Show a little respect?

They're so used to being coddled by Faux News & the right wing media ... They truly have no idea how journalism is supposed to work.

Least shocking thing I've seen today ....

It was never about winning only for show

It's criminal that healthier food costs more than the stuff that's bad (or not as good) for you.

Well I agree entirely, I also would suspect many would refuse to return, plausibly citing the fact that four years from now they could be expelled again. This won't work, as much as I wish it would, unless there is real legislative change to undergird protections.

"Difficult but productive talks"

What's next? Are we going to describe divorce and affairs as the waiver wire and transfer portal??

Yes. This. Fuck that guy

Great read

The "founders of AI" will try to sell us on anything that makes them richer.

I guess. Weak men.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Well I'm never flying again

There is a real thing with journalists who've never served but have spent time with the military getting enamored & unable to be "detached" in a way they were before.

Another example would be Robert Kaplan, who gushed over our military enroute to blowing up his career advocating for invading Iraq.

I thought Junger's "Perfect Storm" was compelling, exceptional ... But nothing he's written since has really been close to that level. Maybe "Restrepo" comes closest as an on-the-ground look at daily life in Afghanistan.

<sputtering> Them thar illegals all waited to get sick until our Orange savior was in charge

FFS. I'm so exhausted from these corrupt and ignorant choads

It's 2026 & some Americans are afraid of solar panels & electric vehicles, so they would rather keep extracting & burning coal & oil & gas.
I'm not even sure how to interact with those people. I went to modern, public schools with modern, smart teachers.
Apparently many people did not.

Periodic reminder that we are flat out murdering people in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific Ocean.

In related news, he's going to invent time travel so he can return to the early 1900s and make this true

Ah, yes. The darkened depths of a 75-person berthing compartment echoing with wet coughing, sounding like a colony of gray seals sunning themselves by the water

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Absolute coward

And yet climate change is a hoax ...

Given recruitment difficulties and losses from disease, George Washington literally mandated smallpox inoculation for all troops in 1777

I wish we could stop trying to normalize these toads

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?

In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.

Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

In a nutshell. 😊
