NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

“Pro-life” apparently comes with an execution clause.

Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.

RUHLE: Why do you think the president is taking this position? TILLIS: Uhhh. I think he got bad advice RUHLE: Why do you talk about advice? He's the president! You said he's got great political instincts, and millions of Americans are suffering

Yes, the president leaked Tom Cotton's cell phone number, but you should not sign Tom Cotton up for Act Blue donation requests or testosterone pill scams or other things like that, because that would be very funny.

He will be 84 in November, not to mention the cancer. He’s an amazing man. We were fortunate to have had him for four years.

AOC: Let’s put a data center in each one of Donald Trump’s golf courses. Let’s put one in New Jersey on his golf course. Put one in Mar-a-Lago. The only reason I don’t say put one on the White House lawn is because he’ll be out of there soon. If he loves them so much, he can have them.

I have a music theory question I hope someone can help with. A Picard Third is a major chord at the end of a tune in a minor key. Is there a name for the opposite? “A Summer Song” by Chad & Jeremy is in A major but ends in F# minor. Is this a thing with a name?

I’m curious, if “eggs expensive under Biden” was newsworthy, how come “Trump intentionally caused every single fucking thing to be heinously expensive” isn’t a story?

I repeat: the province was named after the lake, not the reverse. “Ontario“ means ”lake of shining waters” in Haudenosaunee. It’s been called that since before the US or Canada existed.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario amid an escalating trade dispute with Canada . n.pr/4wVcHyF

@crampell.bsky.social & @jvl.bsky.social roll the tape on years of Trump repeatedly promising to pay down the national debt, only to watch it keep climbing: “Who could've guessed that the guy who filed for bankruptcy six times may not have totally meant it when he said he was going to pay off debt?”

This idiotic tweet reminds me of when a friend and I visited Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Founded in 1850, it reveals a fascinating history. We noticed how many gravestones were for infants. And for many young sibling dying in the same week. We realized that it was before vaccines and antibiotics.
