This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

“People briefed on the ‘double-tap’ strike, said they were concerned that it could violate the law of armed conflict, which prohibits the execution of an enemy combatant who is ‘hors de combat,’ or taken out of the fight due to injury or surrender.”

Remembering that time Biden left Afghanistan and every major news outlet presented that as a despicable act.
Point being, the press has agency regarding the things it sees as an outrage.

This here is a significant reason why Democrats get lapped by the GOP in public discourse. Don’t complain, get aggressive! Use your perch to publicly criticize them by name. IOW, Trump really isn’t your target, your targets are the news outlets/reporters who allow the lies.
Over and over, the mainstream press reports that Trump has secured a “trade deal” with a foreign country and every single time he’s just making it up.
When will they learn?

This little time capsule from @npr.org will make your blood boil. With maybe one exception, Harris’s predictions were SPOT ON yet we were all told at the time that she was being dishonest.
12 misleading or lacking-in-context claims from Harris’ DNC speech
They range from characterizations of former President Trump’s stances on abortion rights and Social Security to her plans to address housing and grocery prices.

Shea Whigham is so great that I got legit mad at the movie F1 for listing him in the opening credits but only giving him one minute of screen time.
If you’re promising Shea Whigham you better goddamn deliver on that promise.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
