Maybe 🤔, just maybe, we shouldn’t allow drunks, idiots, and dementia patients to be in charge of our country.

If this is true, this represents a serious problem.

One, it means military leaders don’t trust their boss to exercise proper operational security.

Two, it means military leaders are excluding the elected President from relevant information to which he is entitled.

This way madness lies.

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/

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

They were stalking me while I was grilling on the bbq! It probably helps that the birdhouse behind me is full of chirping baby house finches. 😃

This is just too good! Make sure to read all three pages. 🤣

He is indeed a French music producer. Tanguy is a very common French name. And Destable is not that surprising either.

Right on. First, there’s no evidence that datacenters emit any type of harmful radiation. Second, you should pay a visit to one. There’s virtually nobody in them.

The most points in a single season in /SanJoseSharks franchise history.

He's only 19 btw. 🦈

China Lifts Green Push With Plan to Double Clean Energy by 2035 China will seek to double its supply of non-fossil fuel energy by 2035, in a plan that analysts see as a boost to Beijing’s green targets.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy.

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead.

It could prevent wars over oil.

We all have days like this

Macklin Celebrini's final tally in his 19-year-old season:

82 games
45 goals
70 assists
115 points

Ridiculous 🤯

We’re very happy they made room for Celebrini to beat Thornton’s record. 🙏🏻

The problem is that Leavitt never said that.

The belgians make such good bandes dessinées! Get ready to plan a trip to Musée Hergé at Louvain-la-Neuve.

Dismantling the GOP infrastructure will require doing things that are extremely distasteful and outside the bounds of normal, center left politics. It won't just be jailing Trump officials, but expelling members of Congress, pulling nonprofit status from churches and cutting broadcast licenses.

That’s why they choose the bear…

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

I learned about this today from my wife.

It’s already happening. See Rich Starry tanker.

People are getting bent out of shape about a “doctored” statement by Leavitt as there’s no evidence she ever said that. Sigh.

I have never seen a picture of a ice hockey team taken on a lawn before! Do they…

We’re in a war no one asked for, and it’s going to cost us big‼️

What we want:
Healthcare for all.
War for none.

I love this. And with rainbow stick tape too!

Could be the Dems’ playbook…

Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law

Wooooooboyyyyyy!

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen continues going off on Donald Trump for attacking Pope Leo and cosplaying as Jesus:

"This is a deranged man. This is a man that should have no connection to being commander-in-chief."

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
