The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased

The GOP "has done untold damage to the nation over the past two and a half decades, particularly during its domination by Trump. America would probably be far better off sending it into the dustbin of history."

Our leader is having repeated trouble staying awake at public events he's hosting; is acting more erratically online and in public; is making decisions that are doing clear material harm to the country & our allies. Simply, his declining health must become a bigger issue.

Senator Ruben Gallego torched Hegseth. Senator Mark Kelly flew combat missions. Hegseth follows Trump's orders. Gallego said the truth out loud: cowardice isn't defense, and attacking a veteran to please a president is betrayal.

Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”
