Cool then we don’t need to pass a $50 billion emergency supplemental to enrich these guys to feed Trump’s insatiable war machine since he already has everything he needs.

Donald will make a deal for Russian oil so his boyfriend can maximize return while the market price is astronomical.

If you can get them fresh off the orchard Cara Caras are the best oranges I’ve ever had. Sumos are nice but, yes, Cara Caras rock!

Iran war live updates: US temporarily lets India buy Russian oil amid energy fears; Israeli military launches strikes on Beirut US issues 30-day waiver to allow Indian refiners to buy Russian oil; IDF says it is striking Dahiya neighborhood in southern suburbs of Beirut

This is sweet. Donnie is gifting his boyfriend Vova some oil sales while the market price has shot up.

With Amazon down, a good reminder to buy books from actual bookstores—not an oligarch-owned tech behemoth that exploits its workers.

He’ll drop a nuke at that point.

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Constitution is super clear on fact that Congress needs to authorize war.

Constitution is super clear on fact that Congress needs to declare taxes.

Constitution is super clear on fact that Congress needs to allocate spending of tax revenue.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis tells me that Tina Peters needs to show "contrition and apology" before he will grant her clemency, a step he otherwise appears ready to take.

When we spoke on the phone today, I asked him about his apparent eagerness to pardon Peters.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

As predicted. This is why you don’t let Republicans control our government. Period. Full stop.

Putin is having a really, big-time, shitty week and I am here for it brothers and sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Supreme Court Keeps Finding New Ways to Make Discrimination Free In USPS v. Konan, the justices denied that mail carriers who refused to deliver to a Black landlord should pay damages. The ruling makes it even harder to sue the government for blatant racism and rec...

MY LATEST: "If there’s no right to obtain damages when a racist postal worker refuses to deliver mail because he’s big mad a Black woman owns a couple pieces of property, then the postal service has no financial incentives to stop racist employees from tossing Black people’s mail into a river."

This is your daily reminder of why the average normie American hates both political parties

Trump picked Hegseth because he’s a Fox News addict who spent years watching Hegseth say dumb shit on the magic box. Fox also created Trump as a political figure. Thirty years in and there simply is no adequate liberal response to Fox.

There does seem to be a contradiction between Trump waiting for new leaders to deal with and Israel vowing to kill them, no?

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Fetterman is compromised by wanting to keep his family together and NOT wanting to have to go to Brazil to do it.

Good thread and a reminder that every generation has its own moral panic

Title reads: "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 yr might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm" The cover of the current issue (February 28, 2026, Vol. 407 No. 10531) of The Lancet. Published in the U.K., The Lancet is "one of the world’s oldest (founded 1823), most prestigious, and highest-impact independent general medical journals" in the world.

"HS under Kennedy has made a habit of throwing good money after bad science."

That "good money" is our tax payer $$, thrown at unethical studies. He pushes ideology over evidence.

The cover of the most recent issue of The Lancet says it all.

There is remarkably little appreciation of this inside he Washington Beltway.

So are we, the US, going to shoot down a Russian plane? Maybe something good will happen?
