Interesting bit from a speech Cory Booker gave yesterday at the Michigan Democratic Women's Caucus in Detroit: (Full speech here: www.c-span.org/program/camp...)

A reminder that Don Jr.’s brother, Eric Trump, invoked the Fifth Amendment over 500 times in 2020 during his testimony in the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud investigation into Trump Org’s finances.

His dad, Donald Trump, invoked the 5th more than 400 times during his deposition.

@SecWar: The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 21 Apr 26

Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.

Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.

"I am sorry for misleading people"

COMING UP NEXT: OBAMA SMOKED CRACK???

Thank you, Bill.

An onion will do well for such a shift

and they have the gall to call the democrats out of touch

Every Marvel movie exists only as a teaser for the next Marvel movie. I know some people dig that sort of thing, but, man, it just saps whatever interest I might've had in ever watching another Marvel movie.

For everyone laughing about how discovery will be "fun" should understand: 1) this suit will likely never make it that far; 2) when it's dismissed, The Atlantic will still be out hundreds of thousands of dollars; 3) like being charged by the FBI, you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride.

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

Jared's only qualification for being part of the US negotiating team is his corruption for Trump Family, so seems pretty weird to not mention it.

100% of articles mentioning Jared working as our chief diplomat should mention his corrupt conflict of interest raising money & working for Saudis (also his complete lack of credentials for doing this), but only 3% do mention it.

Theres nothing more "Im an American conservative" than deciding the solution to child hunger isn't feeding the children, but more people in jail.

The heart of Fuentes’s message was that young men in the United States have gotten a rotten deal. In his telling, a nation of entitled baby boomers, like those leading the Republican Party, had poisoned American society with bad jobs, unbearable women and a racially diverse population intent on depriving White people of what they’re owed

Maybe the Republican Party can’t deal with its Nick Fuentes problem because this message is more or less the same as theirs so the criticism comes off as disingenuous www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Just hours later, Trump woke up and fired off his profanity-laced threat online, warning Iran it would be left “living in Hell.” 5/

Meanwhile, the operation itself nearly fell apart, with aircraft stuck in desert sand and U.S. forces scrambling to avoid Iranian detection. The airman was eventually rescued, but the chaos didn’t end there. 4/

Officials made the call to limit his access, only briefing him at “meaningful moments” instead of giving him real-time control. 3/

According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump was in such a volatile state after Iran shot down a U.S. jet that he spent hours screaming at aides in the West Wing, obsessing over the political fallout and invoking Jimmy Carter and the 1979 hostage crisis. 2/

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

FT Exclusive: Stockholm’s military intelligence head said Moscow is systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy has withstood the strain of its lavish war spending and western sanctions. ft.trib.al/uloekqX

Whatever you do, do not put this man on a list of top 20 Democratic presidential contenders

Am I doing this right?

I guess, based on some of the comments, that I'm doing "this" wrong, since "this" was supposed to be 2011-Twitter level irony (which gets blank stares on Bluesky)

To be unironic, I think Murphy should be in the top 5 of 2028 contenders, and I'm baffled he doesn't rate with the lamestream media

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

this reminds me, i don't think SCOTUS should be allowed to choose their own clerks. standardize the hiring schedule, put the applications in a pool, blind reads (perhaps by a panel of former clerks) and random assignments.

The thing I always worry about with Ossoff is projection.

I'll never forget him being out in front on stopping congressional stock trading and introducing a bill on it that did sort of stop it but protected his specific arrangement.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.
