I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
A clip from the moment Hillary Clinton found out Lauren Boebert took an unauthorized photo of her deposition: 'I'm done!'
JFC you guys — do better.
He literally shrugged and said “…that’s the way it is…”
Governor Spanberger: They're even making it more difficult to see a doctor. Rural health clinics in Virginia and across the country are already closing their doors, thanks to the so-called 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' championed by the president and Republicans in Congress.
Funerals suck, but the lounge at MCI was lovely and the staff were the absolute sweetest. Would recommend!
This really is a great picture:
Do you want my thoughts on the Washington Spirit and D.C. United?
This is where they're going to be. Introducing Green Line Soccer:
@flavorflav.bsky.social is doing the work and walking the walk. It would take a Nation of Millions to Hold Him Back from supporting U.S. Womens' Sports. The man is a King.

Thanks for reading!
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people
I’m back with your yearly reminder that Whitney Houston sang the best National Anthem of all time. People are still pretending it can be beat. It can’t. Just put this on the Jumbotron every year.
So. This is my first year of taking a full mortgage interest tax deduction. Holy s***. No wonder the SALT caucus is a thing!
I do not make this comparison lightly.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
When Microsoft changed the hotkeys a couple of years ago, I screamed and threw some stress balls in my office.
sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say
I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.
