Cool that the VA is sending out political endorsements now - both these stories are about "Biden-era" issues at the VA that Trump has magically solved

Somewhere, I’m sure, you note that the person claimed to be the shooter was granted asylum by Trump’s administration in April, important context for his attempts to blame Biden?

Information already reported by ABC, CNN, and other outlets?

Or do you just want to do Trump propaganda for free?
President Trump said his administration will conduct a full review of Afghan nationals who were admitted to the U.S. under the Biden administration in the wake of the National Guard shooting.
Live updates: 2 National Guard members in critical condition; D.C. shooting suspect is an Afghan national
By 3 p.m., D.C. police said they had one suspect in custody.

Kind of feel like we should be looking at other profiles of Bobby Jr too. Maybe this is just how he rolls with all reporters.

like my occasional reminder that if JD Vance cared about Appalachia, he wouldn’t have written an elegy—a lament for the dead
worst forest/trees problem in generations is that a canto is A SECTION OF A LONG POEM. THAT'S IT. YOU DIDN'T WRITE A CANTO BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THE WORD LOOKED COOL ON YOUR MEMOIR. CANTOS ARE POEMS. THAT LANGUAGE IS DYNAMIC DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SLAMBOOK A CANTO AMERICAN OR OTHERWISE

The Afghanistan withdrawal was what finally broke me of any illusions that I had of one day really contributing something to defense policy.
He took so long to get back to me that I had even reached out to my former brigade commander, a man who I once said that I'd throw him out of a window the next time I saw him, to see if he could move the chains.

He responded 4 days later with two sentences, neither was helpful

Can we charge for viewing, like at a zoo?
And they can buy food to throw at him,
Like rotten tomatoes, cabbages, etc.
Might be able to balance the budget before he dies!

Why did Trump invite a man who shot the National Guard?

Am I doing this right, MAGA? I am, right? I'm following your logic.

So, yeah, Donald Trump should be blamed entirely.

Didn’t Jacob Wohl catch a criminal conviction for doing basically this?
In the #TN7 race, Matt Van Epps and Republicans have resorted to sending mailers as if they are a Democratic agency and intentionally giving the wrong date to get people out to vote.

Obviously, prestige TV isn't going to churn out 22 episodes per year like it's the 1990s. But Stranger Things has put out 38 in 9 years. House of the Dragon, 18 in 4 years. With all those resources, these shows can't put out a single short season per year?

Nope, sorry, I've lost interest, byeeeeee

More poetry prompts, please
If love were audible it would
snore like the dog, snuggled
against my leg in this bed, taking
more than her fair share
of space, except
her fair share is everywhere and
everything. She gives
me her affection and her
attention. She is waiting
at the door for me
when I come home. She is
perfect.
