My parents, both lifelong republicans, believe this.
... despite the fact that I've shown them the grocery bills from 2024 & 2026 (I care for them 4 months out of the year) showing a significant increase for the same items AND the fact that we are landlords who have increased our rent by 2%.
OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss. A dictator sent his army over the border & later had illegal referendum with rigged result that violated numerous treaties. The West expressed only “concern” which turned out not to be enough to prevent war….
Imagine that happening today.
Still, at least the Anschluss 'vote' had the status quo as an option, unlike when we did it to Crimea.
Which might mean Hitler was more democratic than me…
I'm awake reading this a little after 5 AM. I can't sleep.
This war, this government, this country... it's killing me.
we have already run the experiment of what it looks like to make Britain the richest most dynamic country in the world
This is not a “Situation Room”. It’s a room in a shitty golf course hotel that he used to use to judge teen pageants and decide which teens to rape and traffic to other rapists. That was the “situation” this room was used for. It was also used to store stolen classified documents.
My latest for @thenation.com. For those of us in healthcare, public health, science resisting is a duty born of our commitment to serve, make the world a better place. But our institutions don't make it easy. But we still have to do it in large and small ways. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

"Mr. Trump has displayed growing frustration over how the war is disrupting the oil supply, telling Fox News that oil tanker crews should “show some guts” and sail through the Strait of Hormuz."
When you live somewhere that doesn't force you into car dependency and you have tons of money left over for other things in life:

🙄 so tired of these freaks. I hope they all implode during their fake Easter rapture bullshit
Stay strong kindred spirit.
he would be the original Shit-Tzu
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

Ahem
Shrinking is easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I rank it above Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad. It’s in the top three, if not number one.
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

This will be important for the eventual war crimes trial
This is a bad policy that would help incumbents retain their seats in the upcoming midterms.
Why Democrats want do that when out of power in the White House, the Senate, and the House is another question.
Republicans control everything and every bad thing is their fault. Say it until November 3.
Sounds like Deliverism. The thought that being the adult in the room that keeps things running will lead to success.
Naive bullshit that's driven underwhelming democratic performative for decades, because there's no concern for shaping perception.
I don't know, but want to say it's Carville thing

Which Rs defect? They have 53 plus Fetterman pre-announced he was on board
Not sure how you get to 5 defections to stop Vance from breaking the tie
As morning dawns, multiple fires caused by drone sanctions can be seen in this video from the Tikhoretsk-Nafta oil transshipment terminal in Krasnodar Krai.
This major oil hub was a critical piece of Russia's export infrastructure.
Can't sell the oil if it can't be exported.😎
At Pinnacles NP, a condor landed right next to me as I was taking a break! Couldn’t believe my luck! Big big fellow.
It took 800 miles of driving over two days, but we finally found California condors in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument this afternoon. They were about five miles off, soaring high above the cliffs, so I don't have photographs beyond proof-of-sighting, but I'm still high on the sighting.
if you brought back grant and sherman today it would take them about 4 hours to dismantle our current military command structure (grant would drink hegseth into a coma, Sherman would spend most of that time shrieking in horror at the existence of airplanes)
