so that's probably not good. "It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military ... the Pentagon has informed Congress" www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

I vote my principles (destroying the Republican Party by any means necessary and immiserating their voter base for the rest of eternity).
Whole generation got their brains pickled by the idea that politics is a process of patient triangulation and consensus-building instead of a knife fight that decides how pain, suffering, and resources are distributed throughout society
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
Clean, food, never asked me to leave. And she was in the apartment
Married 35 years. 3 dates and I never left her apartment
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"

A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago.

I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.
"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."
Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.
Washington can only pay attention to a scandal or two at a time, which means in the Trump age there are all sorts of should-be-big-deal scandals that don’t get the oxygen or media focus that they should.
I'll bet you've missed at least three of these: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-trump...

She's leaving Congress to, uh, spend more time with her family, her ambassadorial dreams are ashes, her career is over, and maybe it's okay to stop asking her stuff
Mr Buster lived on his chain living on the cold concrete for years. Complete neglect as he was "Vicious and dangerous" according to his owners.
Just look at this big gentle baby boy now!
Julie K. Brown's friends, family, former editors, and colleagues say her backstory — lean times with her single mother, a circuitous route to journalism, and formative years as a reporter in Philly — made her tough enough to expose Jeffrey Epstein, and the prosecutors who gave him a sweetheart deal.
The NBA opening the playoffs on Prime Video was an insane decision
This is incredible.
Also. Fuck RFK Jr.
rural america sucks ass hth
The Inflation Reduction Act was the single most aggressive investment in rural America since the New Deal.
Direct investment, high wage jobs, energy security, you name it. It was all there.
Too bad it happened 200 years ago and all the records of it are lost forever.
Same but I'm a little nervous
Igor Bagnyuk, who serves in the russian army, is not a household name.
His work does not involve pulling triggers or torturing prisoners, only programming the flight paths of cruise missiles that, hours later, strike hospitals, schools, or apartment blocks in 🇺🇦

All of these quotes were from this week on The Five. Living an authentic life is a beautiful thing. The spectrum of human sexuality is quite broad. Living a life in the closet full of shame and self-hate is absolutely tragic. Soundtrack added for emphasis.
This is a big one. Stellar reporting from Sarah Fitzpatrick. To call it a must-read is an understatement: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
"These days, I’m feeling more aligned with Catholicism than I have since my first communion. I’m not alone in that," writes @sulliview.bsky.social.
Once again, the good neighbors of Minnesota are leading the way: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is the first to charge an ICE agent with criminal charges for breaking the law and recklessly endangering public safety.
This is the kind of accountability ICE’s crimes demand.
On the pod, @gtconway.bsky.social lays out accountability agenda if Dems win House:
*Impeach Trump and top officials
*Criminal referrals to DOJ
*25th Amendment commission
*Fix Impoundment Act
*Codify DOJ independence
There's much more here. It's a good discussion:

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.
The good news is that this dynamic opens up all sorts of options for punitive extractive taxes directed at the political coalition responsible for it.
