Democrats are already preparing a case against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Still trying to figure out if this guy who DESERVEDLY got fired worked at a nightclub or the administration that oversees legal reqs. It's Florida, so.... www.espn.com/college-foot...

It's extremely clear at this point that Todd Blanche has opened this probe for one reason: to block or subvert the real criminal investigation now underway headed by Raúl Torres, the attorney general of New Mexico. The technical term for what Blanche is doing is perverting the course of justice.
Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h
this.
More seriously, though, this is what happens when activists trained in a low-trust zero-sum culture visit a high-trust positive-sum culture. Yes, if you Just Build Things in the US, there's a strong chance you'll end up with underground tunnels full of Teslas instead of something useful to anyone.

Will also be fun to hear about how bad a Tampa - Milwaukee World Series is for ratings and business before they pivot back to "we have to crush the players so small markets can compete!"
Not that it really matters but lol at the final 3 MLB teams being Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay going into an off-season where the corporate media will deluge fans with "the owners have to do a lockout so small markets can compete!" propaganda.

I suspect the reality here is that a lot of people in Trump's orbit are pro-Putin either for ideological reasons or because they want to protect potential business interests in Russia and so they're feeding him this idea that Zelensky is the obstacle to peace, which works, cause Trump's an idiot.

Just because Trump's defense for taking Russia's side in its monstrous, criminal aggression against Ukraine is incoherent, twisted and full of lies does not mean it is any less dangerous. To the contrary, he is doubling down again and believes he can rationalize his betrayal to Americans.
Trump is siding with Russia. Again. He’s attacking Zelenskyy for striking Russian oil refineries, while Russia has been relentlessly bombing Ukraine’s energy grid and civilian targets. 1/

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

2/ Incidents like the McIver prosecution and the Omar search should remind us that the fear motivating the speech or debate privilege--from its mid-fourteenth century origins through its inclusion in the US Constitution--was the prevention of executive and judicial harassment of legislators.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.
I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

The decline in visitors travelling to the U.S. would have been much bigger without the World Cup this year (1.24 million international World Cup visitors). Without the World Cup, the decline in international visitors would have been 3+ million. bsky.app/profile/sema...
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.
