Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

Every worker loves Friday afternoon homework

Bari Weiss making plain she knows as much about journalism as Elon Musk knows about government. What will be the CBS equivalent of USAID?

Well-timed book.

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.

Here's an interview we ran with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado, conducted by Mie Hoejris Dahl in Maracaibo and Caracas in the days before the July election last year.

It was among Machado's last lengthy public appearances due to the Maduro regime's crackdown.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

why are Hakeem Jeffries tweets and press conferences so ass when he's doing stuff like this in real life?

"you're here chasing clout" is that even the same man? more of this please

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

This is the way

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

We continue to be hostages to the most illiterate men on the planet

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

I'm old enough to remember when almost everyone smoked, knowing just how bad smoking was for health. A lot of people still drink well above recommended weekly limits, even though they are not physically dependent on alcohol. I think about this a lot when I think about Covid.

r/Portland u/mosnil

this is only "leverage" if Democrats, watching the administration continue to play this hand badly, choose to rescue them

Actually, it does work like that now. The US Congress could pass a resolution giving Trump a Nobel Prize, the White House would host a formal ceremony, and within months it would become “true” for half of the country that Trump had won a Nobel Prize.

The first child lead theory explains so much about a sibling

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.
