Lucky enough to do this tour last spring and it was the best.

This is what every elected official should be saying.

Nothing says “we are liberating you from a bad regime to give you a better life” like bombing desalination plants and oil refineries

I strongly agree with this, but the correct time according to the earth’s movement is standard time, because the sun is overhead at noon. That should be the permanent time.

Yes, you are on permanent standard time which is exactly the right way to do it.

What are you talking about? I said there is medical evidence of the need for sunlight in the morning. Who is now covering the sun?

The warm afternoon sun of winter? That is when daylight is short. In summer you have long days anyway.

The light problem isn’t the time zone. It is your latitude, the tilt of the earth, and the shitty winter weather in Seattle.

On December 21 in Seattle, on ST the sun comes up at 7:55 am. You would be fine with it not coming up at 8:55 just so the sun could stay up until 5:21? Why? What outdoor activities in a rainy Seattle are you doing in the light for 20 minutes after work?

It gives you light before lunchtime. Sorry you aren’t a morning person, but for some of us, morning light is just as essential as you think afternoon light is.

Every sleep doctor in America would disagree with you about what is actually more important for the human body.

I lived in Seattle for three years. In winter I would go to work in the dark and leave in the dark. Your days are too short that far north. Even the light therapy the doctor put me on wasn’t enough. It isn’t standard time’s fault. It is winter.

Have fun trying to get out of bed with those extra dark winter mornings. Yikes. The human body needs morning sunlight.

Worst weekend of the year, followed by the worst week of the year.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

"You're right, my answer was based on outdated information. My bad! I sincerely apologize for targeting hundreds of children, and hope you'll forgive me for the error. Upon further research, I have identified another epic target and launched missiles at the coordinates 33°48'45.9"N 117°55'08.4"W."

Apt characterization of the Article I Crisis

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

They are sick.

The Iran War Is Unfathomably Depraved Our media’s sanitized coverage obscures the human toll. Are we able to confront the full sickening evil of what the U.S. is doing?

We are all complicit. If you are an American, you paid your government to murder those little girls.

Killing civilians! Killing children! What a tough guy Hegseth is, being unbound by morality and international law! This glorification of death and destruction is sickening, but expected from a self-proclaimed "Christian" administration whose Bible stops short of the New Testament.

I know fifth grade boys who speak with more maturity and self-control than this. It is embarrassing.

Only a loser talks like this.

Literally everyone involved...

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Just ask Sen. Ball Coach to point to Iran on an unmarked map. He would be stumped for weeks.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.
