reactionary centrists have a totally incoherent theory of politics whose primary upshot is that they validate and legitimize the far right

Very saddened to hear about President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. Wishing him the best. As a prostate cancer survivor, I want to say: Begin PSA tests in your 40s, and continue well past your 70s. Too many conflicting guidelines out there, for a variety of reasons. It's just a blood test.

I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening. Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

I was divorced in 2010. The very first question my attorney asked was whether I was pregnant. I told him I was not. He advised me not to get pregnant because it would push the divorce off until delivery. In 2025, we still live under that rule.

From notes and firsthand sources, we also learned of a remarkable meeting: When the U.S. ambassador went to a Gambian minister’s office to push him to approve Starlink’s license, she noted that U.S. foreign aid there was under review. The Gambians took it as a veiled threat.

Weird how Elon's teenage hacker squad took over the FAA systems and suddenly air traffic control towers are losing contact with planes. Totally a coincidence, no doubt. #teslatakedown

Pilots flying into Denver International Airport on Monday couldn’t communicate with air traffic controllers for about six minutes after multiple radio transmitters failed, according to reporting from Denver7.

In a matter of months, roughly 2,000 employees were pushed out of the FAA under Co-President Musk and DOGE. Workers were left unsure whether silence meant resignation, all in the name of efficiency. That’s like gutting your fire department during wildfire season and calling it innovation. (1/2)

And guess what? With 30% tariffs on China still in place, 20% on UK and elsewhere and 10% everywhere, "Trump's people" are still going to be in a world of hurt. Highest tariffs since 193os. He will have to pull it all, but the damage is already done anyway.

Pretty stunning that Trump is so stupid on tariffs that he needed to be told this. “'The key argument was that this was beginning to hurt Trump’s supporters — Trump’s people,' one person briefed on the talks said. 'It gave Susie a key window.'” wapo.st/43ghP3x

wapo.stWhite House eased China tariffs after warnings of harm to ‘Trump’s people’The president has backtracked repeatedly on his tariff policies, creating a whiplash with downsides and few clear benefits so far.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

I just heard Joel Osteen fire up his $200,000 sports car, in the driveway of his River Oaks, 11.5M dollar mansion… If you’re still supporting MAGA, MEGA churches & abusing religion, you are a cold & heartless criminal who is robbing the weak, poor, & easily manipulated More to come on this story…
