NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
Competent government focused on peace, world stability, and shared rewards and responsibilities vs incompetent government focused on grift, personal gratification and glory, and exerting dominance. Strength of convictions vs transactional capitulation.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
Is that the East Wing in the background?
It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.
That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.
This is not a mistake. Someone made a decision to air this clip in place of the real one. Likely the hosts were aware of it. It’s Orwellian propaganda.
And irony is dead again.
Pope Leo XIV: “War is never holy!”
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
This is the permission structure established by Israel in Gaza. Every time they bombed a hospital or school or apartment building without unilateral condemnation from world governments. The rule now is all you have to say is that you weren’t “targeting” them, just some terrorists in or near them.

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."
Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"
This clip is worth listening to in full, beyond the pull quote that Aaron has to limit for space.
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
“Trans children are perfect.”
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
"The latest employment report just came out... and this is my worried face."
To be fair, I think they're saying that they can't immediately stop an automated final reconciliation process for duties paid 6-12 months ago. They ask 45 days to build system functionality to automate a refund process b/c it will take 4 million man-hours to do manual refunds. Bad/no planning.
NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

"Everyone is 12" theory remains undefeated.
At this point, I think there might literally be a 7th grade boy running White House comms.
This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.
Just in time for upcoming trials for the submarine crew that followed Trump/Hegseth/Caine orders to destroy an unarmed ship and kill 100+ of its crew outside of a combat theater without offering or calling in aid for survivors.
From now to the end of his term, every report of congressional action or considered action should include the phrase "supported/opposed by GOP Rep Tony Gonzalez, whose staffer set herself on fire after Gonzalez pressured her for sex." Make them own it every day if they're going to keep him around.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"
"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"
"How do you like the performance?"
An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.
