I need a reporter to ask Mike Johnson what it's like to have no dignity or self-respect.
Or just tell him that Trump called him "the world's best ass kisser" or something like that, and watch as Johnson thanks his boss for the compliment.
Just detailing your war plans live for all the world to see.
From the party that claimed to be concerned about Hillary Clinton having a private email server.
I’m a hell no on funding for Trump’s illegal, disastrous Iran War.
Very telling that Trump has his Secretary of State, who has no logical role at this event, sitting next to him and not his VP.
How To Do Things With (Trump's) Words.
What kind of dumb shit take is this?!

Thanks for your service Kristi Noem. We’ll always have this ad, which cost taxpayers $ 200 million
Perhaps the scourge of pronouns was somewhat overrated
What could possibly go right? “Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating—even indirectly—in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.”
By the time they did the last interview, Trump was in the White House. He's just attacked this woman again, years and years later. If she isn't safe, none of us are safe.
This is the kind of journalist an editor yearns for at a time like this: A Persian-fluent reporter w/ deep experience covering Iranian politics and policies.
She used to work at the Washpost.
Then Bezos dismantled the international coverage.
Now she’s at the NYT

History Lesson: The flagship company of Brill Building pop music (actually located across the street at 1650 Broadway) was Aldon Music, founded by Al Nevins and Don Kirshner. Who says you can't go home again?
And, if you'd like to come sign the petition, we'll have people at the following locations tomorrow (Saturday):

By the way, both of these are great places to visit in NJ12!

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
We have yet to hear the threat precisely described. In fact, it has been transparently misrepresented. The ends seem to change daily—and they are mere tossed-off comments. A complete failure to think it through. And means? We seem to be merely firing off our munitions stocks for the point of it.
In war, one shapes means to the ends. The ends are determined by the level of threat. Gulf War, 1991: Threat seen as limited, ends were limited (no occupation of Iraq), means sufficient. Iraq War, 2003: Threat overstated, ends wildly overstated, means inadequate to grandiose ends.
Iran now? Oy…
WE DONT WANT REGIME CHANGE OK? WE JUST WANT TO CHANGE THE REGIME
The New York Times Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.
Slurs spoke themselves unto the mouths of young GOP members again! I just hope that they're all OK!🤡
Slurs emitted themselves fully formed, from the fingertips of innocent far-right people! That must have been terrifying for them! 🤡
Pray for those that survived spontaneous chat room devolution! 🤡
remember when the political press spent the last year helping Republicans pretend that MAGADOGE was a good faith effort at government efficiency and fiscal responsibility?
Because they don't.
So, we paid $billions in tariff taxes, and now we need to borrow over a $1 Trillion because of the tariff policy.

Exactly right.
The Civil Rights Division was able to show that it took exhaustive (and exhausting) work to litigate even the most obvious violations of the voting rights protections in the 1957 and 1960 acts, which ultimately convinced Congress and then SCOTUS that a much broader law was needed.
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and nominated Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.
Thank you to @legalmiga.bsky.social for the Thread on Mullin that inspired this video
