No, no you were just very Lily Pulitzer (if you have that brand)

Far-Right Political Activist Charlie Kirk Is Dead After Shooting at College Event The Turning Point USA co-founder was speaking to students when he was killed.

Behold. Modeling proper journalism. Far from the first time NYT editors could learn a lot from Teen Vogue.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I covered a case earlier this year involving a leader of a neo-Nazi group tied to multiple murders that has threatened FBI agents, journalists, former members, etc. These people are just fucking cowards.

How was I not following them?!? What is wrong with me?

My only issue with Bluesky is somehow I am not seeing as many pictures of the scamperbeasts and that makes me sad.

I’m so sorry. May his memory be a blessing.

Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.

A tweet by Max Burns (@themaxburns ) reads: "From the U.S. Holocaust Museum: 'What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.' Welp."

Never forget.

Reminder that Congress could undo this if it wanted to

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Pedestrian and Overall Road Traffic Crash Deaths ... This report describes traffic-related deaths rates in the ...

A new CDC report shows that pedestrian deaths fell across the rich world 2013-2022 -- but not in the USA.

Americans were 50% more likely to die walking in 2022 than they would have been in 2013.

By 2022, the US was more deadly for pedestrians than all other countries studied.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.

You know what stories I would like to read and hear about?

People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

He was stripped naked, placed in a cold shower, and deprived of food, water, and medication. He collapsed before being hospitalized.

Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

I wish reporting would acknowledge that these firings are more akin to lock outs than to firings. But I guess you might have to know what a lock out is. It might impact the response and inspire harder push back.

"Resistance politics" won Ds decisive victories in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Chasing disillusioned conservatives lost Ds the presidency in 2024.

The conclusion that the Dem consultant class is drawing from this?

You guessed it.

We keep hearing about all these horrified members of the Federalist Society resigning various jobs but no one is asking them exactly what world did they think they were working towards? See also Liz Cheney? Can we stop lionizing her and ask her to explain why her Dad’s lying and lawlessness was ok?

I need a better Constitutional Lawyer than me to explain how Trump can do this to the Postal Service given that the Constitution empowered Congress to create it and it’s not an executive agency.

He is writing about San Francisco, too, where e-bikes make biking viable for folks who could not handle the hills. It’s moralizing pretending to be urbanism.

If I hear one more democrat say of course we need to go after waste , fraud and abuse I am going to shove chopsticks in my ears. Hi you just gave away the game saying government is the problem. Do something smart and attack government contractors. Change the narrative.
