Worth noting that as-of-today-former Secretary of the Navy Phelan’s main qualification was he donated and raised millions for the Trump campaign. He never served in the Navy or any military branch, nor worked in the defense industry or NatSec policy.
Not a military professional or Biden holdover.
Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …
Starbucks makes billions in profits, and their CEO makes 6,666x what the average barista does. It’s next-level corporate greed.
Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org Baristas in their fight for a fair contract! ✊
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
Warren is providing us with an answer to the question "If Democrats were presented with a bigoted populist candidate who had some ability to win elections that other Democrats couldn't, they would turn that down, unlike Republicans, right?"
Obama had a supermajority his first two years, and they're still making excuses for that.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

I've used up my gift articles for the month but this exhibit will be of interest. Art offerings include a Rembrandt and much more. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/a...
A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them.
Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.
I have to admit I was already aged out of watching SpongeBob SquarePants when this episode originally aired.
But my younger colleagues told me to watch this clip.
they will use it as an excuse to cut the minimum wage and other entitlements

Not only that, but CA was contingent on TX going first. The GOP could've stopped the whole thing, but chose to play with fire instead.
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
Virginia Conservatives haven't taken L like this since Appomatox
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

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.
Come, here is the map. Shall we divide our right
According to our threefold order ta’en?
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
The national GOP tomorrow could easily pass a bill that bans gerrymandering and mandates competitive maps, but they won't. Instead they'll just lean into grievance and self-victimhood.
Hegseth sneered about the military's logistical experts, and now he's got ships stuck with sailors almost starving on them.
But he's still sure the dismissive attitude about the flu won't come back to bite him.
"I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to 'kiss my ass.' ... That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship."
This is forever Tim Cook's legacy -- lauded for kissing Trump's ass.
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
uh oh, another fashion guy
He could have prosecuted the crooks, but chose not to.
Probably why he accrued a $200MM fortune within ten years of his "public service."

Here’s what Hungary’s new prime minister promised after his landslide win, the kind of accountability Democrats must demand in America: We will pursue those who had “plundered, looted, betrayed, indebted and ruined” the country.

This is a five-alarm fire and should be covered as such by the media.
