Hip-Hinged to the Unhinged Ready for another Terrifying Potential Consequence of Trump and Netanyahu's Insanely Reckless War?

Rick Perlstein is right, and we saw the clearest evidence yet yesterday: We cannot credibly promise not to bomb Iran, because we have tied ourselves at the hip to another country, Israel, who might keep bombing them no matter what we say or do. Iran will reasonably treat this bombing as the shared

Update: I got through and his staff told me they “couldn’t say” whether he supports the use of nuclear weapons in Iran.

New from me: For the last 6 months I've been quietly interviewing the creators of Truth and Freedom Stories aka Feucht's ex staff. Please *enjoy* 11,000k on what I learnt and how Feucht's ministries were built on free labor from those who once believed in his vision and now want accountability.

Because we will be fighting this damn war for another 25 years?

I wasn’t alive then, but can see TMI from the end of my street and…yeah.

Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 point drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023….

Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to pay Corey Lewandowski Some companies complained to the Trump administration that Lewandowski has stood to personally profit from the DHS contracting process. Lewandowski denies the allegations.

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up.

Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

WOW: DOJ redactions hid key details about Trump’s Epstein ties — and Rep. Dan Goldman just revealed what they were trying to cover up.

The fact that vouchers mostly go to already private students doesn’t mean they don’t cost public schools $$.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

Understatement of the century in the Epstein files.

Growing up in cambria county, which used to be solid blue, we always thought of “over the mountain” as strong R territory
