I remember he went one time for the cameras while campaigning and tossed a $100 bill to a lady in the checkout to show what a generous guy he was to help buy her groceries.
I've also been watching all these depositions and every time I try to write about it I just get angrier, so glad Joseph got something out about it.
republicans want an investigation into the bombing of a school in iran that killed 175 people, is welcome and necessary.
Anyone who has ever studied any military history of the past 150 years learns this as Lesson One.

@tonischneider.bsky.social welcome! Help us do even greater things here. Since you have @masnick.com’s support, I’m open to what comes next. All the best to @jay.bsky.team and her efforts to keep the innovation and usage growth coming.
No matter where you stand on this war, we can all agree on this: Lindsey Graham is a douche. It’s just gross to see him drooling every day at the thought of war & killing. Somebody put Lindsey in a uniform, give him a gun, put him on a plane, parachute him into Iran, and let him fight all he wants.
Most rational people reject the dopey Luddite nostalgia of the antivax movement. We don’t need to let nature take its course with our food, either:

Calm down people.
The 85-year-old former CBS anchorman will lend his sonorous, familiar voice to a final show on May 23.
The firm, Loevy and Loevy, said 200 individuals and organizations are supporting a petition to appoint an outsider to the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke, who has spent weeks saying her staff can only go so far to target the feds.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and several Democratic officials and voting rights organizations have denounced the FBI’s decision to subpoena records related to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona’s Maricopa County. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
“Moderate Democratic voters are fully in line with the growing economic populism in the party and want more of it. And on social issues, they aren’t as worried about a Democratic Party that strongly defends transgender people and abortion rights as many pundits are.”

It was amazingly nuts
Really excellent interview by @amnanawaz.bsky.social on PBS NewsHour this evening, with Foreign Minister of Iran.

Listen to this man. Compare what he says (in English) with the slop we're getting from Hegseth, Trump, or Araghchi's counterpart, Rubio.

What do they all have in common?
They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.
But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.
It's a betrayal of every fan in America.
A US born citizen…
They detained her illegally. They lied about it.
They imprisoned her illegally. They lied about it. Then they kept lying and put her in danger.
FUCK ICE!

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Jay built Bluesky from scratch and gave it a reason to exist. I'm excited to see what she'll do as Chief Innovation Officer, where she'll be able to focus on what she does best: pushing the vision of an open protocol forward.
From Wired: "Schneider tells WIRED that he intends to help Bluesky “become not just the best open social app, but the foundation for a whole new generation of user-owned networks.” www.wired.com/story/bluesk...
Toni is a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful exec, who has shown that you can build a real business around open software. Finding someone who can execute and who understands the vision of an open protocol at the same time is rare—Toni gets it. I'm excited to see what Toni and Jay build together.
Why your prompts could be subpoenaed. My conversation with Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal, out today. links.profgmedia.com/4ucFCOy

Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance.
But let’s be clear: one personnel change does not fix a broken system.
Until this out-of-control agency is held accountable, I will not vote to give it another dollar.
Trump is a no-jobs president.
This kind of rhetoric is deeply disturbing.
In America, no leader is “anointed.” Our service members swear an oath to the Constitution—not to a person, a party, or a “prophecy”.
I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".
My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops
