Had the same thought

And?

We let all other evil proceed apace because someone besides Trump is doing it?

Draw on your own experience:

Is there any situation you've ever been part of, with you or anyone else in the hot seat, in which a person who does NOT have something to hide, reacts the way Bondi does?

I've been on trial juries that concluded "we can't trust that witness," after evasions like this

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

I just bookmarked this and you may want to, as well. 🙄

Newest big U.S. coal-plant offline until 2027 The newest major coal-fired power plant in the U.S. is expected to be offline until March 2027 after a major failure in April.

It’s a good thing Texas installed so much reliable solar, wind, and battery capacity to shoulder the load in the event the state’s unreliable coal generation suffered a catastrophic failure.

Because apparently it did.

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

ALL transformative!

Just like dude got transformed in "The Fly"

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Mildly worried, would be more confident had he not been used tonight.

FWIW the last time the Jays faced Cam Schlittler was September 5

They scored 4 runs (without a homer) in 1.2 IP and he left the game having thrown 66 pitches

He's also 38 IP beyond his previous season high.

Eric Lauer didn't pitch at all against the Yankees before Sunday.

Hey yo folks.
Veteran here.
That kid or weekend warrior who may be standing there at the polls in full-battle-rattle WON’T WANT TO BE THERE.
And the reason they will look pissed is because standing there in all that gear SUCKS.
THEY WON’T BE MAD AT YOU. DON’T BE AFRAID OF THEM.

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

would have to be a pitcher. You can have 12 pitchers but not 14

well, it worked before. They have no incentive to not run the same playbook over and over.

In this case, ADF “cited several scholars to support its argument that conversion practices should once again be permitted. Two of those experts, however, told the Guardian that ADF had ‘profoundly’ misrepresented their research, which discussed the ‘psychological damage’ of conversion therapy.’”

"Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns." […]

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Y'all gonna have to ask John about Rosenthal's brainstorm

it's a really interesting thought. The alternative is something like Lauer-Fisher-Little-Dominguez-Hoffman and I'm having some difficulty deciding which I have more confidence in.

Fascist republicans have confirmed idiot MAGA lunatic Herschel Walker as US Ambassador to the Bahamas for no other reason than to give yet another deranged unqualified cultist a title with fancy taxpayer funded salary for a job he doesn’t give a flying fuck about.

well, at least you couldn't line it up better to try for the massive comeback.

Just not really up for extras (better than going quietly but still, just go ahead and walk it off eh?)

Really wasn't interested in another Stanton AB

He said the already pretty loud part even louder.

Complete insanity, and shows how panicked Schumer is by the young lions defying his will. He'd rather have no power at all as share it with anyone to his left.

that wasn't a hero moment
