β€œAlmost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.β€œ

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation. 

This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.

If you thought Tim Sheehy would apologize, you were wrong. If you thought he'd blame the Marine, you're right.

Add yet another example to the "Never Apologize" file. Rule number one of being Trumpy is never ever apologize. Boss never apologizes. So I never apologize. It's part of the loyalty test

Both military vets. Airline worker and bus driver after. Both grew up sharecropping. Neither graduated high school to my knowledge.

Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?

A military vet who drove school buses when he retired.

A sharecropper who ran numbers when sharecropping retired itself.

Every time I read a new Chotiner interview I think of how easy it would be for other journalists to do what he does. Just do your homework, ask follow-up questions and don't move on until you get a response. It also doesn't seem to have cost Chotiner that most precious journalistic resource: access.

I will say, yeah it’s unfair, but Dem leadership lets the papers get away with it. If a couple Senators called some editors and maybe some advertisers who are also donors about it (like Republicans do literally all the time) this behavior would shift.

Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.

He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.

I'd just like to point out that the idea that not sending children to conversion therapy is child abuse is the hobbyhorse of Michael Farris, who is probably the one who fed the idea to Paxton in the first place.

Locking children in basements and starving them, however, is totally fine in his book.

will Hegseth repeat what he whined about today, "when a few drones get through or tragic things happen it’s front page news"?

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Once Trump gave the order to attack Iran, the whole White House should’ve lit up in red and a banner should have dropped down that said YOU CANNOT DO THAT.

It’s insane that the government doesn’t have a fail safe in place in the event that the President is a maniacal loser who starts a war without congressional approval. Like where are the checks and balances within the checks and balances?
