A Zacharia is equal to one half a Scaramucci.

Can someone die from rigor mortis?

Writing meet wall. If @schumer.senate.gov & Senate Dems had any conviction & courage - they'd strip Fetterman of all of his committee assignments, daring him to switch party now. Ds need to campaign w the reality that they need to get to 52 seats. Not doing so is political malpractice.

UPDATE: DOJ had filed a notice of appeal to the First Circuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BTIG: “.. today would be the 57th day this year when price and breadth have moved in opposite directions. .. At some point, the music stops .. investors raise cash and that creates the .. selloff that has been so elusive .. We think we are closer to that day than many are prepared for.” [Krinsky]

I didn’t come anywhere near this when I was on the Roosevelt (‘87-‘90) - I think we hit like 85 straight days at sea. But even that was miserable. This is an abuse of the force and will have long term repercussions

Ross Douthat is a victim. As a well-paid regular columnist at the country's premier newspaper, with anything he wants to say widely distributed, he was repressed. Silenced. And did you know America had civic and educational collapse around 2015? Where, exactly? Uh... don't ask, he's rolling. 8/x

NEW: Dozens of ads containing video and other child sexual abuse material ran across Meta’s social media platforms, including some as recently as yesterday. @mattburgess1.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

Bluesky often seems like a project run by tech people who place great value on its architectural differences from Twitter, which nobody cares about, while not understanding how they walked ass-backwards into having a userbase (whomst they fear and despise)

like gravity is a theory

AOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

It’s beyond belief that these brothers are not only some of the world’s biggest influencers but they’re influencers specifically targeted at children. Hard to imagine a starker indictment of the anarchic digital economy we’ve created

Absolute piece of shit.

NEW: Governor Andy Beshear says he got calls from two different non-state agencies saying McConnell had died. This was before the "proof of life" photo was shared by McConnell's team. newrepublic.com/post/213199/...

Warner: "He conveniently ignores Russia"

Warner: "As an American, I'm embarrassed ... we gotta decide whether we can keep our republic. And if we simply blow this off as another Donald Trump rant, we do that at our own peril"

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

Trump's big evidence that the 2020 election was rigged is some shit that happened in Venezuela

damn, who was the president when China punked us like this?

Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my R colleagues, their ballots are legit and the ballots that elected Ossoff & myself are not?"

"pro-environment" my ass

We’ve seen this same explosive claim made many times that withers under scrutiny The game is played by making the accusation, having docile media report it, and then the media bury (or not report at all) the eventual resolution

Ossoff makes an important point here that accurately frames Trump’s election fraud lies as racist. Trump’s 2020 election lies and efforts to overturn its results always target Black voters as illegitimate. The localities Trump challenged were disproportionately majority-Black.

VIDEO: Body cam shows Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo using his name to get out of a traffic stop. “I’m Joe Lombardo.” Officer: “I’m aware.” Officer lets him go.

The pool is empty. There is no gash. Trump is still saying vandals did it. Trump lies with every breath.

If the White House had any real evidence, they would’ve presented it already. Of course they don’t have any evidence, because they made the whole thing up. If these lies translate into actions, adamantly oppose those. But this itself warrants a “Liar Tries Repeating Old Obvious Lie” dismissal.

“At the very least we should suspect [Alito & Thomas have] been given assurances that they’ll be replaced by hook or crook before Republicans lose power; but it’s not crazy to wonder whether they’ve struck an even deeper collusive bargain.” @brianbeutler.bsky.social

Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano keeps sending field offices packages of chocolate-covered pretzels made by his daughter's company, Pretzables. Staff say the gesture isn't increasing morale, but it is raising ethics questions.

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

Presidents have power to designate national monuments under the Antiquities Act. The act does not say anything about reducing or eliminating them, though.

And it quietly scaled back the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, also known as FoodNet, shrinking the required surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and a common type of E. coli. One of the pathogens they made optional for states to report: Cyclospora.

Higher education is one field where much of the reporting is rooted in nostalgia for the memories of their own narrow past rather than a reckoning with the realities of the wider present.

It’s an obvious but still important reality right now that putting people on your network who represent or defend the current administration means choosing to amplify people who will knowingly, aggressively, and frequently lie to your audience.

MS NOW: Two Atlanta-based FBI intelligence analysts were fired last week after refusing to participate in the Trump admin's investigation of Georgia's 2020 election. The analysts told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and DOJ policies.

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

Georgia SoS Raffensperger recorded the “perfect call” with Trump because Graham lied about his earlier call

Dana Bash: What would you have wanted Israel to do when a bunch of civilians -- these were peacenicks -- were murdered brutally on October 7? Lander: I wouldn't have killed 5000 Palestinians under the age of 5. Bash: Israel says they tried hard to avoid this -- I'm just playing devil's advocate.

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

Directing Graham Platner’s campaign

Platner waiting until Monday to drop out. Which is also the deadline. He's gonna fuck us.
