Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoffβs 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 doesnβt 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 itβs kind of a major bummer
Don't drag Claude into this, you'll increase his anxiety.

FRIENDLY ADVICE: Live your life so that if a rash appears on your neck millions of people don't publicly wish for your death.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itβs good sheβs gone.
But this doesnβt 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 wouldnβt care. Iβd 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 havenβt 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 ourselvesβand if theyβre maybe purity traps.
Curious. Whereβs your evidence of anti-semitism beyond the old tattoo?
Agreed!
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
Letβs not treat her differently because of gender. She hasnβt behaved in a respectful manner and I see no reason she should be treated particularly respectfully in return.
So. Just politics?
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.
Love you, Rachel.

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.
Do we believe them?
This is getting to be a surreal experience. Itβs like he has to finish his speech? Itβs approaching 2 hours. He has lost even Republicans. Trump sounds like he is running out of gas. Itβs all just kind of sad and pathetic.
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced βAbolish ICEβ as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a βfull and completeβ endorsement.
I feel like this is sort of burying the lede that she subsequently died by LIGHTING HERSELF ON FIRE.
Choose Democrats wisely.

βI am too scared to drive my 5-year-old daughter to school in my husbandβs car. Iβm terrified ICE will detain me and our daughter will end up alone,β she said. βThis is just as scary as the war in Ukraine, except now we donβt have Dmytro with us..."
