War euphemism hall of fame contender
ICYMI -- my weekly roundup on RI politics www.oceanstatemedia.org/politics/tgi...
We went over the weekend. It was wonderful, so glad to see them back. Pics coming in my Instagram story. #EatDrinkRI
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Usually I’m the kind of person who says the President has nothing to do with market fluctuations, but… that is not currently true.
okay but what about this thoughtful, persuasive response from our decaying president

It’s too easy to go to war
Not a bug but a feature in this new war of choice. What Trump requires is a major terror attack on American soil prior to the midterm elections. Declared state of emergency. Disruptions in voting. Political dissent challenged and even prosecuted.
His war has primed the pump as intended.
Hooooooo boy
Reading this as I sit waiting for a new replacement tire and rotation because of a huge f’in pothole in Westerly is just mean. 😂
He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
While safer winter driving is certainly important, throwing tons of salt on the roads comes with side effects, some of which are costly and impact human health in a different way than a head-on collision.

Rhode Island has had the worst state roads in the country for at least a decade, even as RIDOT's budget has doubled to over $1 billion.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
At least the musical chairs portion of the Trump White House program feels comfortingly familiar.
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
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.
I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.
This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."
I’ve been a reader practically since day one and a member longer than most memberships have been around, but never once thought about dropping it as other paywalls came about. @tpm is the gold standard for news sites. Period.

When she picked up the barred owl, it was limp and trembling. Its eyes were half open, its entire body bruised, and blood was dripping from its beak. The owl died within hours, another casualty of an accidental poison in its food supply.

Best wishes and thank you!
This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed."
Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.
The Ellison family ruined CBS. They're also gobbling up CNN, HBO, DC Comics, MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, and a chunk of TikTok. Democrats must break up this massive MAGA monopoly when they return to power or they can turn out the lights on democracy.
Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.
