Rogue Republican Thom Tillis absolutely cooks Kristi Noem on her inability to manage FEMA: "No. You can talk when my 10 minutes are done."

Thom Tillis is absolutely tearing Noem to pieces right now. See thread for details but the C-SPAN video is incendiary.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

It's been over 72-hours since the US attacked Iran and Donald Trump has failed to stand in front of live cameras to address the American people and take questions from the news media. Taped remarks, phone calls to select reporters & taped remarks are not acceptable.

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

People need to understand that one of the reasons they struck today, rather than next week, is bc the House is planning on a vote early next week.

Trump had to shift dynamics of that vote.

Near the White House, Hundreds of High School Students Protest ICE

NYT: Near the White House, hundreds of high school students protest ICE.

By Campbell Robertson and Callie Holtermann

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

Year one, tariffs and concentration camps. Year two, a war in the Middle East and shooting citizens in the streets for protesting year one.

β€œHe wrote about principles β€” peace and nonviolence β€” and he lived by those principles,” said Don Graham, the paper's former publisher. β€œHe made The Post better.”

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.
