My advice is to watch all the stand up comedy you can find. I spent weeks on Netflix special after Netflix special. Diversion is key. It's OK to feel sad. Grief comes in waves. Often unexpected ones.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
Russia is helping Iran target U.S. troops.
Ukraine is helping the U.S. protect them.
The contrast couldn't be clearer.

every person in this is depraved, evil, needs to be put in prison for the rest of their lives and must suffer for these crimes against humanity
So weโre just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.
That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.
Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

"Business as usual" for SARS-CoV-2, means that it looks like any other virus that jumped from a reservoir, spent a short amount of time in an intermediate host, and then jumped into humans, causing a pandemic immediately after.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.
Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If itโs not AI, itโs a person who simply does not care.
Itโs not 2001 & we arenโt in the immediate aftermath of a major terrorist attack on US soil. The same arguments used then are being used now - if Reps donโt vote to fund a Middle East war they are betraying troops. Thatโs BS. We should not vote to fund Trumpโs wars of aggression.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / ะะพะปะพะดะธ... &. 4h| X We received signals from partners in the Middle East. There have been strikes by Iranian "shaheds" on civilians in those countries. They are seeking our expertise. We are open. If their representatives come, we will provide the expertise. Especially since there is also a request from Europeans and from the United States. Requests have come to us to share our experience with partners in the Middle East. Regarding weapons: we ourselves are at war. And I said, completely frankly, that we have a shortage of what they have. They have missiles for the Patriots, but hundreds or thousands of "shaheds" cannot be intercepted with Patriot missiles - it is too costly. Nothing is too much for the people, of course, but they simply do not have that many missiles. That is why they need interceptor drones, which we have. Meanwhile, we have a shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. So, when it comes to technology or weapons exchange, I believe our country will be open to it.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Himes on war powers: "That is not a debate that the Republicans want to have, because a year ago they turned the Congress into the Russian Duma. We don't have a Congress today. We have a majority party in the House and Senate that's going to do exactly what Donald Trump tells them to do."

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
Listen I also wish Crockett won the TX Senate seat but I am fine with these results. Talarico is a Baptist seminarian and Good Christian White Guy who will make a certain subset of brains short-circuit when progressive values come out of his particular mouth. He is a big strategic asset in TX.
Prove it, whereโs the evidence of an imminent threat?
Face it, this is an illegal war of choice straight out of Putinโs playbook. And Trump has brought it to the brink of a new world war.
This is so stupid, we need to go to the streets, protest, scream, and more! Enough is enough with this a*hole!
Already basted too!
So weird that my CT liberal democrat (but pro Israel) sister just told me she thinks @jamestalarico.bsky.social is a religious ZEALOT!
Had to school her about James & told her as a Jewish atheist, I would still vote for him bc he's the most authentic Christian you'll ever meet & that's a good thing.
Whoo. She is hot mad! Good on her

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

Tillis can berate Noem all day long at a hearing but, he votes for everything they do? So which is it Tillis?
Fascism or Democracy?

I used to eat what I want, drink constantly, never work out and still stay in great shape. And now that I'm older, I think 3 out of 4 ain't bad.
