True. Ironically, MCCARTHY of all people booted King off his committees.
Between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the U.S. attack on Iran, what incentive does any country have to ever give up its nukes?
Just pure reprehensible Islamophobia. This would have gotten Fine stripped of his committees under Ryan or Boehner
Honestly not sure
He was still thinking about running for reelection. He also served as Patel’s Sherpa during his confirmation. Then he realized he would face a primary
But he has a warning for Republicans: they keep on nominating people who only appeal to MAGA like Mark Robinson, who caused an extinction level event. The same thing is now happening in Texas and Arizona. #NCPol

I have known Thom Tillis since I was 21 years old when I was a cub reporter and he was state speaker of the #NCGA. He engineered the Republican supermajority in North Carolina and he turned the state Wolf Pack red after Obama won it in 2008.

Thom Tillis is increasingly "sick of stupid" from the Trump administration: Just don't call him anti-Trump. My exit profile of a Republican power broker who got labeled as a RINO, and how he wants to take out Stephen Miller. #NCSen #NCPol www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Screw it! Senate ratings:
#NCSen: Lean D
#IASen: Lean R
#OHSen: Lean R
#TXSen: Likely R if Cornyn wins. Lean R if Paxton wins
#AKSen: Toss-Up
#MESen: Toss-up
#GASen: Lean D
Exclusive: Jay Graber is stepping down as head of Bluesky. Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will be the interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.
Oh thank you so much! I genuinely appreciate that. That means the world to me to hear that I helped.
Thank you, Matisse. Hope you are well.
As a friend of mine said: Neocons believed they could secure the blessings of democracy at gunpoint. MAGA just wants to point guns. It's vulgar gunboat diplomacy.
He is Speaker AND Senate Majority Leader
Oil prices plunged 10% Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would be hit “twenty times harder” if it attempted to halt oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, while also signaling that the conflict with Iran could end soon.

Didn't know that! Cool!
INSIDE WASHINGTON: Trump has ground the Senate to a halt to pass the SAVE America Act. And it's turned into the latest contest for Trump's affection between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton.

Don't know
I'm sorry, this is all so new and confusing to me. Can you recommend a book about the mingling of religion and politics to help me understand?
Thank you for sharing 🩷
On one hand we have Uta Frith saying awful conversion-therapy-adjacent stuff, and on the other, "neuroqueers" starting an event for autistic people, but *only* those who do not need disability services. (Yes, both really did just happen.)
Can I be less tired, then I could get more angry!
When you get annoyed and write 3000+ words in response to @utafrith.bsky.social piece in the Times Educational Supplement on Autism dermotcasey.net/the-challeng...
Partially as I see people I respect like @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @hetanshah.bsky.social sharing something deeply problematic
I get what you're saying. These divides make it seem like they are in conflict, when often, they are talking past each other.
People who were diagnosed as kids when I was a kid still got slapped by teachers.
Lotta other not great stuff, but I really need late-diagnosed people in their 30’s to understand what things were actually like.
Hell yes, research: "Because stimming is frequently targeted for reduction or elimination, its positive functions are overlooked. This may contribute to stigma, pressure to mask, and harm to Autistic well-being."

To the contrary, many late-diagosed autistic people are parents of high-support needs people.

Bizarre for Frith say that increased autism diagnoses "overshadows the needs of those with intellectual disabilities, who require much more intensive support." I don't know a single late-diagnosed #ActuallyAutistic self-advocates who wants to erase high-support needs people.
