It's great to be back on the same side with the libertarians.

Iβve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.
A big part of the already high cost of groceries were fuel costs faced by farmers.
The cardinal spotlights a Trump White House perversity. For American pilots, sailors and soldiers - and more so the maimed and dead Iranian girls at the school we leveled - war is not a game.
More evidence that Elon Musk et al are morons. Gage was a white Christian from the British Isles: the apotheosis of Vance, Hegseth, Fox News racial preferences. The only diversity he brought to the table was his accent and his red coat. But thanks DOGE for saving us.
"Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about...they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?" Can't believe we are re-litigating this today.
Thank you, Rupert Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity...hope the money was worth it.
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
So much for βAll politics is local.β For the Republicans, todayβs war demonstrates, all politics is Il Duce.
both joe rogan and megyn kellyβtwo of the biggest podcasts out thereβhad guests today who argued that itβs unnatural for women to work outside the home. so thatβs how thatβs going
Lost in the chaos. Historians will mark this moment when AI firms with half a conscience were bullied by the Department of War and its craven leaders to discard even modest guardrails on surveillance and weaponry. So liberty dies. Next No Kings is March 28.
The 18 minute gap!
Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump
The AI boys should have named it something safe like Super-Google, kept expectations reasonable and maintained a low profile like other billionaires. But they seem stuck in adolescence, thinking with their dicks, intent on being Ozymandias.
But AOC said "um...uh" before giving the right answer.
Ah....the endnotes weekend. Second only to "doing my taxes" weekend.
These are the guys and gals that Trump is counting on - in fact ordered - to vote for him. Now he is chiseling them and pitting them against each other, but that's what he's good at.
We are all sinners, but if you are a celebrity podcaster, talk radio host, cable news panelist or anchor, concocting excuses for Epstein, Trump and this crowd, you've told us all we need to know. You've made your stand. Brand. No walking back. It's who you are. How does the face in the mirror look?
A take heart message from JFK.
"Our problems are manmade--therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable--and we believe they can do it again."
Absolutely. A gold medal assist.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich
The right wing media criticism of AOC and Newsom is good news for Democrats. It confirms Trump's lame duck status a year earlier than two-term presidents, traditionally, have become afterthoughts. He will still have awesome statutory powers, and lash out for attention, but we are moving on.
So wrong. Posing doesnβt get you through an eight year war.
The βbrilliantβnerds of Sunnyvale have screwed up the rollout, big time, for AI. Maybe they were not so bright when they put all their chips on Trump. But history (Ludlow, Homestead, Pullman) says they wonβt learn the lesson. They will double down on force and corruption and Vance.
So the Obama administration oral history project went live today. An extraordinary resource for historians and teachers, and a great credit to the team of folks who compiled them all, including Evan McCormick, @pastpunditry.bsky.social and many others.
Picking fights with the US Coast Guard, shrugging at missing servicemen, demeaning Coast Guard pilots over your own comfy status, and wasting taxpayer funds on luxury aircraft so you can fly around like the Epstein Elite. Fire her. She is a liability for GOP and noxious for the rest of us.
βNot one third of the inhabitants, even of this province, are of English descent,β Thomas Paine noted in Common Sense, "This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe."

A remarkable speech, with eternal verities - patriotism, human rights, statecraft, equality, liberty - that resonate today, when the enemies of freedom are empowered in Washington (and Davos and Sunnyvale) as well as Moscow. Take 15 minutes to listen in that context.
AOC is being mentioned as a 2028 candidate for President. (I would vote for her.) So the vetting process has begun. It ain't beanbag, as Mr. Dunne said. She will further learn and grow - or fail. The Times quibble about a very minor stumble is a compliment. She is being taken seriously.
Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates how is it possible to cram so much ignorance--"English-Scott-Irish origin" -- into such a small space? miracle of a person said to be "world's richest man" has no more grasp of US history than a crumpled paper tissue underfoot in a men's restroom not recently cleaned.
