Attorney General Angelica Pickles is trying everything she can to block accountability. The best she will accomplish is losing more slowly.

“On Tuesday, he was forced into a May runoff against Brandon Herrera, a gun manufacturer and YouTube gun-rights influencer”

I want a reporter to ask Hegseth if he feels like more of a man after murdering schoolchildren.

Understood. I will work on securing the licenses for you to do that.

I'd say "And sent to Hell," but that may not be fair to Lucifer.

I didn't finish Season 4, but it was already getting repetitive. As a restaurant person, I still loved it, but still.

The Germans eventually demolished the Reich Chancellery. We can tear this down.

"Trump has this thing where he kind of wishes things into being - 'Well, if I just do it, people will support it, Iran will surrender, and things will work out somehow' - but that's not how a war of this size goes." - @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Just as well. Now that she has nothing to pose in front of, if you say her name three times, she'll appear in your house.

At the risk of being entirely off-color, but you won't reach Gen Z (and some Millennial) young men by appealing to the cesspools they fell into. You need to figure out a way to help them escape, which means making IRL friends and getting their dicks wet—legally and with respect to the countrparty.

How in the holy hell did they get Gott to flip from just last week? Is it just the primary challenge. In a very weird way, this surprised me more than Moskowitz (although he has a challenger too).

A union is pathetic and sclerotic if you can't organize hotels in New York any more.

I'm surprised a hotel developer hasn't sued as this would be violative of the NLRA.

The only thing I can think of is the Obama connection and, to a lesser extent, his 2006 midterms success--an eternity ago. But like with people who were more intimidate involved with Obama's win, their insight can be grossly overstated. Obama was a generational talent. What did you, adviser, do?

Exactly. I don't even take the dimmest view of Rahm and I find the media's infatuation with simply bizarre.

At the risk of repeating myself, they don't actually care about Americans any more than Iranians, they don't think of us as people they have an obligation to. We're just chaff to be ground up as they scheme to get richer and seize power and kill their enemies. Like peasants to tsars.

Lev Parnas, Who Turned Against Trump, Announces Run for Congress as Democrat

For those of us who remember Trump I, this is wild, even accounting for his son @aaronparnas.bsky.social's emergence as a Resist Lib par excellence.

It's like they think losing will be better with the RNCC raining money on them as opposed to losing in a money drought.

My feeling is Murphy is on the inside track to be Secretary of State for the next Dem president, depending on who that is.
