A New Hampshire Republican state representative from Hillsborough is refusing to apologize after using the term "Final Solution" to disparage an event being put on by a Jewish colleague.
I will never forgive Trae Young for surpassing Kobe Bryant’s career high for assists in a game eight times: defector.com/i-will-never...
So here we have the president deeming a lawmaker who has been mildly critical of him a traitor to the country.
Once again, just imagine Obama or Biden declaring some random congressman "disloyal to the United States of America," and the round-the-clock media freakout you would have seen.
Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
Everyone's talking about Alec's fishing game! Dive in!!!
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
What the fuck light through yonder window breaks bro
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
So is where I feel the need to remind folks that the selective service system still exists.
But in practice, yeah. Super-lazy back-of-the-envelope, holding all of Iran might require c. 600,000 ground troops. (~3x our max Iraq deployment).
But you also need rotations, so 2x or 3x that.
Obviously the broader culture is not in a good place but it's heartening that television keeps returning to one of the eternal storytelling themes: Padma Lakshmi imperiously striding into the room and demanding that you make her a delicious treat.

I'm fascinated by the common failure of strategic mirroring where folks assume that because the USA built a global alliance of democracies after WW, that the autocracies must also function in a vast alliance with unified leadership.
Because they don't! They didn't in WWII either!
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Incredible to watch Hegseth just faceplanting into the Absolute Destruction acceleration of violence with his whole face.
Utterly convinced that you lose wars if you don't war crimes hard enough and entirely unprepared for any other theory of victory or success.
get a load of Kristi Noem's facial expressions as Rep. Kamlager-Dove enters articles in the congressional record with headlines like, "Lewandowski taking out trash at Noem's DC home" and "ICE Barbie's mile high private chamber with alleged lover exposed"
I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before
I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like
Part 2, with more from the veteran. Please note that security is perp walking the Marine out of the hearing WITH HIS BROKEN ARM TWISTED BEHIND HIS BACK.
[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]
Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.
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.
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isn’t a sign of what the party has morphed into
