Happy Weekend to you!
Reading Prophet Song by Paul Lynch.
For distraction watching Death by Lightning, Vlad, and Borgen...okay maybe only Vlad is distracting and unevenly so.
Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg.
Susan Collins has gotten all too comfortable staying silent as the President takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution.
This moment demands someone who will fight back. I've stood up to him before, and I'm not afraid to do it again in the Senate.

What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
I’m a hell no on funding for Trump’s illegal, disastrous Iran War.
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Both men are immoral, power hungry, greedy, and vile but one is incredibly stupid and shallow. Hint: It's the one with the red tie that looks like an unrolled red carpet.
"[Smiles, continues reassuringly.] Of course we have more than enough weapons and ammunition to kill as many people as we need or want to--praise Jesus--kill, both here or Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba, or Minneapolis AND St. Paul for that matter!" [Blushes with righteous passion.]
Trump meeting with bomb makers to talk about how he can make him and them richer while people die
🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today – Donetsk region. 28th brigade, 100th, 24th separate mechanized, 36th marine brigade. I want to thank all of you!
Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, our other cities. The Russians are not giving up on the war and here, they are preparing an offensive for the spring.
That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Amidst international conflict, Trump has intensified his domestic war on elections as he continues pressuring Congress for the passage of the SAVE America Act.
The same bill could endanger the ability of millions of eligible Americans to vote right before the midterms.
“It is a miracle that a formless block of stone could have been reduced to a perfection that nature is scarcely able to create in the flesh.” Vasari on the 1498 Pieta of Michelangelo, born OTD 1475.
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
The DoD is spending billions to build a shield to destroy missiles launched against the U.S. At least four of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by a private equity firm founded by billionaire turned Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.
War is barbarous enough without this kind of ignoble and likely criminal brutality. Disgusting. Shameful.

A good letter from Senate Democrats demanding a federal investigation into the murder of a Philadelphia-born Palestinian American named Nasrallah Abu Siyam.
Interestingly, neither of the two senators from Pennsylvania itself signed on. Nor did either NY senator, one of whom is Minority Leader.
slightly surreal to see a whistleblower i worked closely with reveal his identity in a channel 4 drama
and cool to revisit the story of how we worked together. rob showed real bravery and deserves huge credit

As our Gov’t claims to care about dictators abroad, while slashing our health care, early childhood funding, programs to fight hunger here at home, it is also trying to make it harder for us to decide who should be trusted to lead! We @civilrightsorg.bsky.social are fighting for voters.
It seems like any Democrat intending to fund more missiles for Hegseth to play with should at least get some answers from the Pentagon first about the bombing of the girls elementary school.
Unless you want to be responsible for financing the next one without any due diligence.
