“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘latinx’ and ‘unhoused’ without the fear of getting cancelled…it’s a new dawn.”

Vance admitted in 2024 that he is happy to make up stories to get media attention.
A truly sick, dishonest, racist individual. I hope his biracial kids grow up to be ashamed of their Nazi-leaning dad.

What a lying sack of sh*t.

It’s frankly delusional to argue Haley Stevens is making a principled stand against Abdul El-Sayed.
She was on TV just days ago urging everyone to vote for him. She’s done that for months. Stevens is mad his campaign spurned her—that’s it. There’s no honor in that.
I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

right-wing conspiracy brain is so advanced that they are now accusing their own conspiracies of being false-flags
it's literally impossible to exist in civic society when one side of politics has such incomprehensibly fucked epistemics

These beautiful kids and their teachers were being rewarded for their hard work with a National Geographic trip to California's Channel Islands National Park when their plane was hijacked and crashed into the Pentagon. I can't even process the horror and heartbreak.
On this day, we remember six members of the DCPS family we lost 25 years ago: students Asia Cottom, Bernard Brown, and Rodney Dickens, and teachers Hilda Taylor, James Debeuneure, and Sarah Clark.

The Imagination Library never operated in the Middle East, but I hope it expands somehow to do that.
Giving books to kids under 5 everywhere in the world can only be a good thing! Begrudging any kid the ability to get free books anywhere is weird indeed.
Following country music legend Dolly Parton's passing, some people claimed her Imagination Library donated books to children in Israel. We went directly to the Dollywood Foundation, which funds the organization, to find the truth.

I think the electric Ferrari is pretty cool looking and also looks a little like the new Nissan Leaf.

The absurdity of this prosecution is the entire point, by the way. In the same way that nobody believes that Putin's enemies all happen to be clumsy around windows, no serious person can believe this prosecution is legitimate. The point is to show they can do it anyway.

The FCC chair openly bragging about the President of the United States forcing out undesirable journalists and installing "new ownership" of TV networks. Totally normal, folks.

This is just reimplementing the JPCOA but with a war and the straits of Hormuz getting closed
BREAKING: More details emerge on a potential peace deal between the US and Iran, per Axios.
Details include:
1. US officials say there could be "room to negotiate" over returning frozen assets to Iran
2. "They call it reparations. Maybe we call it return of frozen money," the official said
3. US says any deal to end the war would need to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and also establish a long-term agreement on Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles and support for proxies in the region
4. Iranian demands include a ceasefire, guarantees that the war will not resume in the future, and compensation
We expect an eventful week ahead.

they dragged her away in chains and shipped her to Texas and only then checked, determined she was in fact here legally, and released her in Texas to figure out how to get back to Minnesota herself. and people wonder why her neighbors would protest!!!

Why don’t we have the name(s) of who murdered Alex Pretti yet? The government obviously knows who did it. The secret police anonymously killing citizens is not how things work in a free country.

This is a confession that ICE is detaining people without reasonable and articulable suspicion. ICE is violating the Constitution, and it doesn't give a damn.
No annual DST/standard switches, but geographical time shifts should be continuous so every time you move .25° due west you gain a minute.

Donald Trump destroying the American-led international order because he’s a whiny bitch about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize—an award no conservative respects anyway—is the sort of thing you would have been accused of having Trump Derangement Syndrome for saying might happen.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”
