Underrated as a cause for this mess: The succession of D governors in CA has long been organized on dynastic lines. Since '59 all winning D candidates have been either a Brown, a Brown's top aide, or a Brown's Lt. Gov. Now the line has been broken and we're in the Year of the Four Emperors.
Connect the dots
SEN. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : βIsrael made us do itβ¦ how weak does that make us look?β
Reminder: Although the US and Iran have been adversaries for 47 years and tensions have been extremely high, there is a reason the US has never actually launched a war with Iran. Itβs not that we havenβt thought about it before. In factβ¦itβs because we actually used to think before we acted.
If you know who said, "Don't tell the president" (or whatever actually happened here), please, do reach out β to me (or Dawsey)! I don't care! Someone tell someone exactly what happened here.

if there are no mines and their navy is gone, surely the defense secretary himself could ride shotgun on one of those tankers
Adam Serwer coins a new word for the "mixture of gullibility and cynicism prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements" identified by Hannah Arendt.

The funniest thing about the Trump admin is how all of the "eff your feelings" and "cry harder lib" alpha males turn out to be the whiniest saddest snowflakes, unable to handle a negative picture and walking about in ill-fitting shoes to not upset Trump.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID β the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

The Pentagon has barred press photographers from briefings who published supposedly "unflattering" photos of Pete Hegseth.
The Pentagon is desperate to hide the actual toll of Donald Trumpβs Iran War. 30 American service members are sitting in hospital beds right now following the Iranian drone attack in Kuwait. The real cost is devastatingβand they don't want you to see it.
Since I wasnβt clear in my last post, lemme try again:
WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That itβs even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.

It's just impossible to keep up with the stupidity of our government
These far-right conspiracists are pushing Trump to take control of voting
Food deliveries and the prospect of access to medical care gave Gazans reasons to think things were slowly improving.
Then, Israel and the United States began hitting Tehran with missiles and everything stopped again.
OK - now at Turkey's Halkbank hearing on "Deferred Prosecution Agreement" questioned by victims of state sponsored terrorism - Inner City Press is covering (opposition here www.patreon.com/posts/docume...) and will live skeet, thread below
And for what? To give Trump a pat on the back for being racist? Good grief.
