Don't forget two pieces of silver so Washington's soldiers will ferry you across the River Potomac (it's fine they play Styx on the ride)

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

20 years after NYT gave up its Enhanced Interrogation euphemism, Patrick Healy still puts access over reality, refusing the word "lie."

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

Genuinely disappointed in @npr.org once again.

Call me crazy but, seven months in, that we're still not reporting, "HOLY SHIT why won't Trump appoint real experts to negotiate with Iran instead of his family and his crypto business partner" is part of why we're here.

a bill which provided a strong footing for civil liability and punitive damages that attaches to Flock itself as well as the civil jurisdiction in question would do wonders for reining this kind of thing in.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

If you value the timeline you tackle that damned bird

Oh I'm sorry, our troops are supposed to also be on defense? The beta half of combat? We are all offense all the time in RealMericas Man Army Brought to you by Monster Energy.

Extraordinary reporting: "Kremlev’s previously unreported relationship with Trump Jr. represents an extraordinary development: a member of Putin’s circle financially supporting the president’s son and gaining intimate access to the Trump family."

He saw whiskey Pete was likely the next rat booted off the sinking ship and decided to jump his spot in line

2024: Vote us in and all this magical stuff will happen! Using magic! Trust us, we're wizards! 2026: what am I, a wizard? Who told you I could use magic? Boy do you have egg on your face!

RIP Peter Cullen. This scene went SO much harder than it had any right to, because of his performance.

A New Color (1/5🧵)

This feels like someone ask a chatbot how to use the Iran tariffs to own the libs and it spat back "I dunno dude paw patrol?"

It can’t be overstated how lasting the consequences of the Trump presidency will be for our national parks and forests long after he leaves office

Trump officials now admit his team failed to grasp Iran's rulers and were too confident in surrender, per Politico. But as @atabatabai.bsky.social notes on the pod, he gutted civil service/diplomatic corps, making this sort of failure more likely! She's so good here: newrepublic.com/article/2144...

Within hours of the primary result, Democrats elites are rallying around winner Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Haley Stevens plus Schumer, Gillibrand/DSCC, Whitmer, Slotkin, Gary Peters, Jim Clyburn all swiftly embraced him. He faces Trump-endorsed Republican Mike Rogers this fall.

Congrats to the senator on just discovering his daughters terror in the last 72 hours
