While I'm sure there was self-dealing, that figure includes ad buys.

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

i know it doesn’t matter but i just want it on the record i acknowledge that by hitting schools and desalinization plants we are committing unspeakable war crimes and i, personally, think it’s kind of a major bummer

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

They probably wouldn’t care. I’d be shocked if any of them rely on their government salaries. They are getting rich in other ways.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

He does say just that in the interview.
I haven’t been following this race or scandal but I thought he made sense in the interview. Moreover I could see him appealing to my MAGA cousin in Maine.

Sometimes I wonder about the purity tests we set for ourselvesβ€”and if they’re maybe purity traps.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Let’s not treat her differently because of gender. She hasn’t behaved in a respectful manner and I see no reason she should be treated particularly respectfully in return.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Mice were exposed to sweet smell of cherries & then given an electric shock.

Their grandchildren, never exposed to smells or shocks, also froze in anticipation when they smelled cherries.

Memory of the fear response was passed across generations through epigenetic changes.

Thinking again about my daughter's friend's mom who said she was voting for Trump because Kamala was a warmonger who'd drag us into WWIII.

I dunno. We've all known there would likely be strikes for days now. I can't see them just leaving the Ayatollah Khamenei and the President in their known residences.

And no, I don't believe anything Trump or Netanyahu say, really. I'll wait this one out.

This is getting to be a surreal experience. It’s like he has to finish his speech? It’s approaching 2 hours. He has lost even Republicans. Trump sounds like he is running out of gas. It’s all just kind of sad and pathetic.

I feel like this is sort of burying the lede that she subsequently died by LIGHTING HERSELF ON FIRE.
