I so want to believe that me convincing Wikipedia to remove his bullshit Stanford PhD dropout story was a contributing factor.
"You're such a hero and have been awarded so many medals that you can't even keep them straight" is probably not the message Hegseth intended, but that's what happens when you post drunk.

who the fuck does Ezra Klein thinks actually writes the overly convoluted regulations he despises?

A prominent Republican who recognized Donald Trump as a pedophile decades ago now avoids comment.
That prominent Republican? Teenage Ivanka Trump. Seems like something a functional press would follow up on.

As someone who has been chanting "headlines need bylines" for two years, I endorse this message.
Yes; and I want to make a different point.
Editors *shouldn’t* be invisible. They should have bylines. YOU DESERVE to know who shapes the stories you read. Editors do that no less than writers/reporters do. Very often, they’re the ones who assigned the piece, not the writer, and who headlines it.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov hasn't thought through the ramifications of her own proposal. Splitting up WA-03 would result in an actual Democrat representing Clark County & a Republican Nazi representing the surrounding area. That won't solve polarization, but it would rid us of her. I'll take it!
Congress has a duty to deliver for hardworking Americans and represent our communities' values – but too often, polarization and gridlock stand in the way.

Republican women: when you were a teenager, did you have to make your own father promise not to date anyone younger than you, or was that just an Ivanka Trump thing?

Here's my Democratic Representative claiming it was the Democrats "holding hungry Americans hostage" during the shutdown. She should just switch parties already.
Tonight, I voted to end this partisan car crash of a shutdown. Nobody likes paying even more money to insurance companies – and the fight to stop runaway health insurance premiums won’t be won by holding hungry Americans hostage.

Oh, ok, so Epstein advised Lavrov about how to handle Trump, which means that since early in Trump's first term, Trump has known the Russians have his child rape kompromat.
The only thing to do is to call for resignation and move forward with impeachment. There is no other option.

Totally opposite his view when it comes to SNAP benefits
TRUMP: The ones who stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus
INGRAHAM: Where's that money coming from?
TRUMP: I don't know. I'll get it from someplace.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

On the two biggest contests in the past week — the NYC election and the shutdown — Chuck Schumer isn’t just voting with Republicans; he’s voting explicitly with *Donald Trump*
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Constituent here. Dems had leverage to stop this sort of thing, but Schumer gave it up for nothing, and you are not holding him accountable.
These cuts will contnue until September when he'll have the chance to surrender yet again.

True story. I was recently parked at a mountain bike trailhead in southern Utah when a Cybertruck pulled up with a bike on the back and MARSRVR vanity plates. As he chatted up every biker in the parking lot, I hid in my camper until he left...for his benefit and mine.

I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.
