I think? Wasn't that how his mom died? She tripped over an open dishwasher door and died. I had never thought of that particular risk before the movie, and even years later my wife or I will mention it when the dishwasher is left open.

Its biggest legacy is all of us getting anxious for life whenever the dishwasher door is left open

Kasdan said Messianic leaders would be open to adopting a separate insignia if the Pentagon created a policy allowing one.

Seems like there is an easy solution, because the Jews for Jesus want their own symbol. The issue seems less about religious expression than about confusion and the risk of misleading people.

And in a surprise, Pearl Harbor-like attack during the daytime, when kids were in school, rather than the usual course to start strikes at night to limit civilian casualties. Our military may have thought they were hitting a military base (further showing lack of prep), but they were extra reckless.

Senator John Fetterman’s response to @premthakker.bsky.social when asked about the illegal US strike on an Iranian Naval ship in international waters:

“I want to offer condolences to your boss [Mehdi]. I know he’s all broke up about the Ayatollah.”

Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.

So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

after Trump crimes. I was so excited, but. repeatedly got a "meh" from voters who said they really just wanted to move on from Trump. Biden laid out his "plan" that Rs would have an "epiphany" & leave MAGA if Trump lost. And Dem primary voters chose him over many other options. Whose fault is that?

No, Dem primary voters failed. Biden was exactly who he promised to be in the primary (better, actually). You can't vote for Biden in the primary and then get mad he didn't go after Trump corruption the way Warren promised. I'll never forget canvassing the week Warren promised a task force to go

Fetterman posted things just like this about Sinema and Manchin when he was running. Whether or not you're right about him, this isn't good evidence. The concern isn't where Platner says he is now; it's with how consistent he will remain as situations change over a long 6 year term.

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Why?

There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.

New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite.

I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.

Back when Emil Bove was confirmed to the Third Circuit, there was a flurry of online attention about how that seat was open only because Dem Senators including Cortez Masto and Rosen embraced far-right smears against Biden's nominee for that seat, Adeel Mangi. That was more than 7 months ago. 1/
