"The American people can accept honest mistakes. They can accept fog-of-war judgment calls. What we as a nation should not accept is moral drift at the top of the chain of command."
Surely a winning message for the midterms
Ted Cruz: "As we sit here right now tonight, the threat of terrorist attack is higher now than it has been for decades. There's two causes of it. Number one, Joe Biden ... "
I was told we already won this war.
Pretty much.
What a travesty.
(Also the Epstein Factor.)
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
•Three more foreign vessels were struck off the coast of Iraq and the United Arab Emirates overnight, authorities said.

Completely undeterred by facts. Pretty impressive, really.
We’ve known we bombed the school for over a week. The military confirmed it today, and they’re still arguing

The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision has allowed billionaires and big corporations to have an outsized influence on our elections. Our democracy is paying the price.
We must keep fighting to get big money out of politics, and restore power to the American people.
I'm not quite sure what to call this — a video essay, an explainer, an econ lesson, or something else.

This has been a topic in bar circles for weeks. Two Democrats are calling on the DOJ's internal watchdog to launch a probe into what they say is a "troubling pattern" of favorable outcomes for clients of defense attorney Brad Bondi, the brother of AG Pam Bondi, in cases involving the DOJ.
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
Another hush money payment.
