By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Does AOC pass the purity test here? I'd say it's 50/50.
You know a politician is thinking about running for president when they start making moves on foreign policy: AOC will be headed to the Munich Security Conference and will speak in Berlin with a member of Germany's Social Democratic Party.

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

You can search for names in the Epstein Files here:

You will indeed find Asimov in the files, along with a host of other science fiction notables, living and dead, from Mary Shelley onward. The "files" are millions of emails, and there's a whole lot of random shit in there.

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.
Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.
And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.

it's so, so, so frustrating how they act like people applying for asylum are subject to removal proceedings. that is not the law!!!!
Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:
“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."
(This is not standard procedure.)

I generally agree with my far left online friends on stuff. Capitalism sucks and is the root of most problems. Dem leadership is feckless and useless (although lots of rank and file Dems are doing good resistance work that isn't being acknowledged) But "I hate Dems" is not a plan to repel fascism.

Trying to imagine the unmitigated mega scandal for any other president if they pardoned a bunch of people and many of them went on to immediately commit major crimes (including child molestation). But for our special boy it gets a collective shrug.

In their minds they can't and they've explained their (asinine) thinking. They value faux "balance" over everything. If you merely report that Trump reposted a very racist cartoon you're in essence inferring he's racist and therefore putting a thumb on the scale. So there are no repercussions.
The president of the US posing memes of one of his predecessors and his wife being apes feels like a thing the news should be covering but anyway here's another debate about whether DEI is bad

The media likes Trump and he is their very special boy. He does or says 10 things a day they'd lose their minds over if it was any other president. To cover Trump like a normal president would infer "bias." He's so insane and evil it works as a shield. Our media is broken.

Weird but predictable.
It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.
