America needs to stop giving TV talking heads difficult jobs they are not qualified to do.

This crisis is metastasizing. We are a joke.

this is the most Not Fucking Around anything has ever been. I can’t wait to see it, but I ALREADY agree that crypto is a massive scam, so I also can’t wait until the people this movie is trying to convince also see it and at least some of them hopefully rethink everything about themselves

Elites Aren't Much Savvier Than MAGA They're both easy marks for Donald Trump.

The economist Alan Cole recently became a folk hero for betting his life savings that DOGE would fail, and winning. But it turns out the Musk and Trump loyalists he took to the cleaners are only slightly more gullible than political, financial, and media elites. www.offmessage.net/p/elites-mag...

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?

BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.

Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

A March 3 satellite picture (sourced to Planet Labs) of a March 1 missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The "damaged structure" which is marked, is close to a Radome, also marked.

In first report on Russia helping Iran w/targeting, WaPo focused on strikes in Saudi Arabia. NYT earlier revealed this strike on Prince Sultan Air Base--which they later implied was the strike that would lead to Bejamin Pennington's death.

We need to know if RU played a role in killing Pennington.

Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet, that was a bad-faith GOP paraphrase.

I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled β€” cancelled, if you will.

β€œFree speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment β€” says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.

Judge it thus.

Not like this. He’s being a snake in the grass to hide his GOP affiliation in a redrawn district.

He’s MAGA all the way.

Ar I, Sec. 8, Cl. 11:
The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War.

Is this a war?
Obviously.

Has Congress declared it?
Obviously not.

Is it illegal?
Gosh, no one has Art III standing, so the answer is unknowable.

(Correct answer: something is obviously wrong with standing doctrine).

Shouldn’t Brendan Carr be launching an FCC probe of Fox Broadcasting Co.?

The old footage of Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony didn't just air on Fox News -- it aired on local Fox affiliates that are regulated by the FCC. attn: Brendan Carr. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/sho...

So how about it, Mr. Chairman? Why not launch a probe to find out whether Fox’s editing issue was β€œinadvertent,” as they claim β€” or, as certainly seems possible given the network’s record, β€œan intentional effort to mislead the American people”?
