BREAKING: Republicans, furious at Democrats for doing thing they wanted to do but couldn’t do, now insist thing they wanted to do is un-American

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

I’m sure Trump has put the US in a very strong bargaining position by issuing two ultimatums with hard deadlines only to back down both times after Iran called his bluff.

4-D chess from the cult leader.

This is what caused Trump’s meltdown tonight.

And her word is gospel, as far as trump is concerned.

I applaud Pete Hegseth for doing away with the U.S. military's woke flu-vaccine mandate. TRUE warfighters know their lethality is only ENHANCED by explosive diarrhea. Libs will never understand that a fever is just God warming your body for the battle ahead.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?

RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly

RFK Jr: It's not my department

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Free plug-in solar panels to be rolled out to some households The technology is designed to be a simpler and more affordable way of benefiting from renewable energy

"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."

This is how you do a just transition.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

Chris Wright insists that collapsing snow pack in Colorado is the result of "the path of the jet stream last year," not climate change

It’s utterly ludicrous and corrupt for any journalist to go to this event.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Elizabeth Warren nails Warsh right between the eyes: if you're tough and independent, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020?
Warsh refused to answer, dances around the question. Won't matter to Republicans, but could raise questions in the markets about subservience.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Disqualifying

But he had bone spurs so he was forced to miss it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The most fundamental disconnect between MAGA and everyone else is that we believe everything Trump does is about promoting, enriching and empowering himself because he’s a greedy malignant narcissist, and they believe he actually cares about other people and is primarily motivated by that.

Thanks - great article

Paywalled; here's an archived version of the WSJ's very detailed insider article on Trump being an emotional mess who can't dig himself out of his failure in Iran and the military keeping him out of the loop so he doesn't mess it up more.

She's done so much damage to Upstate NY. Feeding hate and division, peddling anti-semitic tropes, ginning up culture wars...it's endless. No sense of decency.

Oh, and she hasn't held a town hall in YEARS.

The NYTs 2022 bio "The Invention of Elise Stefanik" is deeply reported and utterly damning.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency

Coincidence, I'm sure.

Killing the IRA rises almost to the level of treason, IMO. It was already working really well, and the GOP killed bc it did too much to help ordinary Americans. They don't want Americans to realize that regular people in other industrialized countries have it much better than we do.

There's something missing on Bluesky lately.
RELEASE THE FILES!!!
