Trump told Newsmax in an interview that the military’s stockpile of Tomahawk cruise missiles had not been depleted because of the war with Iran, but rather because they had been transferred to Ukraine.👇

I try not to let the level of frustration or dismay I may feel on any given day under the current administration affect my mood or anxiety levels as much as they can. But, I cannot express the level of disgust I feel about deciding to televise an execution, by one of the cruelest means possible.

1/ When Viktor Orbán lost power in Hungary, something extraordinary happened inside his propaganda machine. Some journalists cried.Others celebrated. And suddenly, people who’d spent years following orders were expected to tell the truth & they struggled #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

No wonder she rolled over so quickly for all his nominees.

15/ ProPublica is revealing the existence of the case for the first time. We reviewed a trove of evidence gathered by the FBI and thousands of pages of legal records, and have independently corroborated much of Kao’s account. This is the first piece of an ongoing series:

🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Como reach verbal agreement over loan deal to sign Robert Sánchez, here we go! Como and #CFC agree on loan terms as the Spanish goalkeeper replaces Tornqvist who’s joining Monza in Serie A. New chapter for Sánchez after Dibu joined Chelsea.

“No one said to him… Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not lay up riches, judge not, condemn not… …they said to him: ‘You wish to be called a Christian, and to continue to be the chieftain of the robbers-to kill, burn, fight, lust, execute, & live in luxury? That can all be arranged.’” -LT

I’d like to believe I would have risked my career & livelihood to get up & leave, or just not attend the #WHCD tonight. I really believe I would have. Anyone who’s ever been a middle mgr has sat through some BS meeting they disagreed with. But, I think this would’ve been a bridge too far for me.

This is absolute madness. The corruption knows no bounds. Are we just a country of liars and cheats now?

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called "parasites," and our planet to be ravaged, all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

And this is what disturbs me… bit.ly/44fDB8x If FIFA came to the conclusion on their own the card was that egregious & needed to be overturned, ok; good on them. Influence from the President… this isn’t the righting of an injustice; it’s just one more example of corruption in the US (and FIFA).

That said, I do feel a little icky and I feel like if we would have won without Balogun, we’d see that this team was for real, and now any success this team has in this tournament will have an asterisk.

I’ll be honest, I’m a little dubious about the circumstances surrounding the reversal of Balogun’s red card. But, it was a terrible call to begin with, so I’ll take it. #USMNT

This ref has been awful. Missed several yellows against BIH. Gives a red for a coming together. Utter bullcrap. Penalizes USA for next game against Belgium also if we hold on for the win.

Get your gas while it’s less obscenely expensive than it was.

Honest to goodness, I pray a bill like this could ever see the light of day in Congress… AND pass. But, in this America? Maybe I’m jaded…

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Shoulda just called it San Rectum since that’s where this guy got that story from.

fake feds are investigating ballots that don’t exist from a made-up city. other than that, totally checks out.

I know Grackles aren’t the most elegant #birds, but a decent shot is a decent shot. Got this one a couple days before I broke my lens.

It’s a very sad day in #birds photography for me today. I was excited to snap some birds in the birdbath and had a little accident. What a gut punch.

I keep seeing clips of politicians just flat out lying about objectively provable things & have to wonder, is there something liberating about lying w/o shame, about becoming unbridled by the truth? Are they truly happy? Or do they take a hot shower and drink their self-disgust away each night?

This is going to be down to just Vanilla Ice soon. Which isn’t much of a surprise. Kid Rock will fill in, and that will all be just the metaphor for America at 250 anyone needed.

#CFC would play European football next season if they won today. Can’t even barely be bothered to show up today. Pitiful and disgusting. This team as it sits now is going absolutely nowhere. Should literally keep 3-4 players and scuttle the rest.

I'd like to thank all the Gerrymandering Confederates who've stopped pretending they're not racist. The next step is to stop pretending you're Christian. BC y'all hate the Gospels as deeply as you hate the VRA.
