Not a bug but a feature in this new war of choice. What Trump requires is a major terror attack on American soil prior to the midterm elections. Declared state of emergency. Disruptions in voting. Political dissent challenged and even prosecuted.
His war has primed the pump as intended.

Low-Salt Road Diet Recommended - ecoRI News
Salting roads as a method of preventing ice from forming began in the late 1930s, perhaps in New Hampshire or maybe Detroit.
While safer winter driving is certainly important, throwing tons of salt on the roads comes with side effects, some of which are costly and impact human health in a different way than a head-on collision.

Rhode Island has had the worst state roads in the country for at least a decade, even as RIDOT's budget has doubled to over $1 billion.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

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.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe
The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.
This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Raptors, Other Species Pay Price for Efforts to Kill Rats and Mice - ecoRI News
Under the proposed law, municipalities would be authorized to create pest management programs to replace the use of rodenticides.
When she picked up the barred owl, it was limp and trembling. Its eyes were half open, its entire body bruised, and blood was dripping from its beak. The owl died within hours, another casualty of an accidental poison in its food supply.

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."
Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

The Ellison family ruined CBS. They're also gobbling up CNN, HBO, DC Comics, MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, and a chunk of TikTok. Democrats must break up this massive MAGA monopoly when they return to power or they can turn out the lights on democracy.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.
No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.

No, that gave him exactly what he wanted.
At the same time, I am not going to be in mourning for the man who authorized the execution and torture of my relatives.
