They’ll figure out a way to blame Biden.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

I prefer generics by Acura.

Ha, is this a conspiracy for the Big Pharma makers? Like, turn everyone off generics? Gracious.

Historians looking back on the 2026 midterms and trying to explain how the Democrats managed to thrash Republicans will point to many causesβ€”but let me suggest that they should pay attention to these two words right here:

"I guess."

Good thread to read through and remind yourself of all the diplomatic insanity by these psychos…

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

We’ve got some big news: @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is releasing her first book and you can pre-order it now!

β€œHow to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time” is the playbook for consigning MAGA-style politics to the ash heap of history where it belongs.

Order now before it drops on Sept. 8.

Hegseth literally made his name with Trump arguing for pardons for war criminals.

The thing is that some of Trump’s guys, like RFK, are full death cult. Trump himself is in a cult of pure indifference to life and death, which is almost a little more upsetting.

I know Texas feels like fool’s gold, but I think there’s reason to think this year is a genuinely good shot for Dems for senate, specifically because whether Paxton or Cornyn wins the GOP nom, each has weaknesses on different sides of their own coalition.

BREAK THROUGH 30 Youtube YouTube video by Jason Esteves For Georgia

Glad to see Jason Esteves on the air in the Georgia Dem gubernatorial race. I think he'd be the most competitive Dem vs Keisha Lance Bottoms in a runoff, and the most important thing is making sure she's not the nominee: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEFR...

I’m sure it’s unrelated to our current not-a-war war with their neighbor.

The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had
participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the
drills.

so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...

RFK Jr. Tells Joe Rogan He’s About to Unleash 14 Banned Peptides RFK Jr. plans to reverse a sweeping compounding ban of certain peptides issued by the FDA in late 2023.

This is madness. I wrote about "peptides" a few years ago, before the trend really hit. People are injecting themselves with black-market liquids purported to contain experimental drugs that were abandoned for failing to show benefits or being unsafe.

This frothing rage toward Talarico over his Christianity is bizarre. Was there a similar level of animus toward Raphael Warnock in Georgia? Or do people just really want Crockett to win and are letting their priors color their response?

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield β€” Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

I’m just gonna say it, @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social needs to step up their gif game. Literally there is nothing out there. Crockett has a lot of Miami Vice crossover but there are a few at least.
