An important thing we’ve been practicing for YEARS already with our 3 year old twin boys. “Can I give you a kiss?” And if they say “no” we don’t give them a damn kiss. They now ask us, too, and we practice that it’s okay to be disappointed and also FINE if we ever say no. This is about Cornell.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Yes, a normal president would try to avoid bribes.

Trump on accepting a gifted aircraft from Qatar: "I asked the Amir if we could use the brand new 747 that he got ... a normal president wouldn't do this. A normal president wants to stay away from aircraft. But our country has to be represented properly."

Journalist Katie Phang is suing the U.S. Justice Department over the Epstein files. Her lawsuit names acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and accuses the DOJ of failing to fully release the documents required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

BTC: Given the fact that Trump is named in the Epstein files 38,000 times, do you think he should testify like Bill & Hillary did? Katie Pavlich: I think the president has bigger issues to deal with. BTC: Bigger than being implicated in a pedophile ring? Katie: The Epstein thing is a distraction.

The Gun=Penis Party radicalizes white men, telling them that firearms are a means to get their way. We may never know precisely what Martin expected to accomplish, but he felt he needed a gun for it.

Austin Tucker Martin was shot and killed by Secret Service outside Mar-a-Lago. He was a Trump supporter who believed Trump's lies that he'd take down the Epstein network. The disillusioned young man tried to enter the club with a shotgun after becoming upset with Trump's ongoing Epstein cover-up.

There’s no question that the prosecution is purely political and utterly meritless. But my experience differs a bit on the issue of “will they tell your defense lawyer their theory of the case before they charge.” Sometimes, depending on circumstances and the prosecutor, they won’t. /1

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway. New: newrepublic.com/article/2066...

Everyone in the country remembers who was in the White House when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to keep Donald Trump in power. Except this man. He is simply too stupid.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Before we release Hannibal Lector on bail we need to have a serious conversation about giving him dietary help.

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS? JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Just a reminder: Donald Trump is the only president that has ever sought permission from SCOTUS to commit crimes and he wasn't doing it for other presidents past and future. MAGA will never believe that but the facts speak for themselves. #USDemocracy

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Musk as usual seems eager for somebody else to do something.

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today. "You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."
