Ossoff: "He said he would rename Hormuz the 'Trump Strait.' The draft-dodging president tells jokes while 21 Americans are dead and hundreds wounded ... they've drained our stockpiles to achieve nothing while the crook commander in chief builds a monument to himself."

They should have to report it as a campaign contribution to the GOP.

Texas barbecue joints say beef prices have climbed so high they're selling their signature dish at a loss just to keep customers coming in. @crampell.bsky.social tells @jvl.bsky.social how rising costs are squeezing American food staples.

It's the job of the media to scrutinize such statements and decide whether there's a story here at all (maybe the story is Anthropic researchers have fallen into a fantasy-land and brought many policymakers with them), not to just platform them. >>

Robert Reich just dropped a Rahm Emanuel diss-track and it goes hard af. Not saying it’s a Kendrick / Drake level beef, but it’s close.

As someone who went through it, I promise you, it was an occupation. Looked and felt like we were being overtaken. I’m still triggered as are SO many of us. I am changed from it, it was absolute terror.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war Would be bigger news..

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Jeffries defends his meeting with Kushner: "I'm of the view that if we're going to be committed to actually solving problems on behalf of the American people ... they're are gonna be times that you have to speak with people on the other side of the aisle. Even people you strongly disagree with."

Yikes! That ballroom isn’t going to complement the White House. It’s going to overpower it. Look at the scale of this thing. The people’s house is being swallowed by one man’s monument to himself.

Remember that time Mitch McConnell died and they just pretended he didn’t so they could keep collecting checks? Should make for a quirky HBO comedy someday.
