Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

holy shit

I know everyone wants to make fun of this. But holy crap everyone just run with it and no one let the tyrant know that this isn't how things work. I prefer gas to not be $27 per gallon.

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

Fox News admits to airing an old dignified transfer video on its program this morning, one that did not show Donald Trump wearing a white ball cap.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Highly recommend watching Nuremberg (2025), which goes up on @netflix.com today.

My latest for @movieweb.bsky.social

Come for the news, stay for my research into Dr. Douglas Kelley's incredible 22 Cells in Nuremberg where he warned how it could all happen here.

Walt Disney's animation department in the 80s, you would have loved Twitter before it turned evil (Memo they sent when Disney changed "Basil of Baker Street" to "The Great Mouse Detective")

Thrilled to have my copy of @fuchsiadunlop.bsky.social The Food of Sichuan cookbook. I have cooked and learned a lot from the first edition of this book, Land of Plenty. Looking forward to some new dishes plus the best dish of my life, Fish Fragrant Eggplant.

Had big plans for yard work this morning. Had. Past tense. MeanCat has changed the schedule by napping where I wanted to work. So that’s that.

Republicans spend an incredible amount of time and energy finding new ways to obstruct justice and accountability. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

3 people had the power to remove Prasad.

Trump, RFK, or Makary.

Not “pharma.”

Logs show violent calls to kill Black people, more than 400 uses of n-word, regularly describing women as “whores," using slurs to talk about Jewish & gay people and musings about Hitler.

I spent the last 2 weeks reading through 28,000+ messages in a Miami young Republican group chat

FIU College Republicans recruitment chair: “This isnt even my worst one 😔”

FIU Turning Point USA prez: “Yeah I’m in a few on telegram that are definitely worse lmao”

“Pro Life”

There’s so many more examples here about this as well as the Young Republicans. But as someone who used to be involved in the pro life movement, the current organization pretty much needs to be razed down to the ground and salted.

Unironically love my opposing counsel, who called me back after a meet and confer today because he forgot to ask how my family in Israel is doing (which reminded me to ask about his extended family in Iran). He's wrong about EVERYTHING substantive, of course, but just a good human being

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

We’ve got some big news: @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is releasing her first book and you can pre-order it now!

“How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time” is the playbook for consigning MAGA-style politics to the ash heap of history where it belongs.

Order now before it drops on Sept. 8.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez on 6 Americans troops killed: "Outside of that, those are pretty light casualties"

Welcome Home ☺️

Repost if you think Republican "Christians" exalting a serial liar, adulterer and convicted felon named over a million times in the Epstein files make the most powerful argument for atheism in American history.

This judge spent time on Bluesky and did not enjoy it

Assuming that we’re not DELIBERATELY bombing girls’ schools, has anyone articulated about how being not-PC has actually served us strategically or tactically? Like anything articulable or measurable? Or is it just “blow shit up, but with a douchey expression”?

Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.
