NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.

The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"

Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Sincerely, if I was a Dem executive and had an idea this was going to happen, I’d deploy armed officers to bar any intruders from the citizenship ceremony until it was complete. A sacred space and a sacred obligation, and letting fascist goons pick people off at the front door is an abomination

Biden never fell asleep at cabinet meetings. I've never seen Bernie fall asleep in public. Nancy Pelosi, either.

Hot take: the aversion that liberal/left people have to coercing people is in fact also gender-coded, and in this particular case it turns out that the stuff we've coded masculine - coercion using force to make people do pro-social things - actually was essential to society

"oh you hated being called a deplorable? Shut the fuck up, here is better health care"

I mean they almost *have* to make that argument.

ugh that sounds entirely pausible

Mike Johnson works in secret to strip IVF health coverage from defense bill The speaker is working behind closed doors to remove a provision from the National Defense Authorization Act that would mandate health coverage for in vitro fertilization for all active duty military.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump promised to make IVF free.

When it comes to contested Democratic primaries in 2026, we should all be thinking more about the phrase ‘candidate fit’ (as opposed to the needlessly pejorative ‘candidate quality’) in those tough House, Senate and Governor races where such a thing needs to be taken into consideration.

He's sure to argue that.

Unfortunately I think he has an argument that he's already *been* pardoned.

They’re recruiting people to judgeships with the promise that they’ll get to hurt the immigrants who appear in front of them.

The major job perk being offered is a captive population to torment on behalf of the government.

...so they can kick it?

Don’t forget “actually they weren’t terrorists, just drug runners” to “actually we don’t even know if there were any drugs on that boat” to “actually it was just a random boat we happened to see”

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.

Release the boat video.

Release the Epstein files.

It looks like Tom Cotton was being deceptive by saying video shows the men trying to flip boat "loaded with drugs." As I reported, Ds who saw video say no drugs were visible/boat was crippled.

Q for Rs is simple: Did you see drugs and was boat incapacitated, or no?

Yeah, that’s what we thought

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I’ve been blocking or muting the doomers. I don’t need that shirt

BREAKING on MS NOW:
 
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

It's 2°f in Augusta, Maine this morning, up from -2°f. Good thing I got the oil tank filled on Wednesday!

This is murder to satisfy racists. No more. No less.

Good lord these people are even stupider than I thought
How do they manage to get dressed every morning?

CNN is now reporting the two men killed in the second strike didn't actually have a radio or communication device, contradicting another defense that's been floated.

That supports what I found: Rep Adam Smith told me the briefing revealed that no recording of any radio transmission exists:

“Stay woke” is still very good advice, and that’s why the right has worked so very hard to demonize the term.

Exactly. All along we’ve had only the murderers’ word for it that ANY of them were transporting drugs

Yeah, this is a pretty unambiguous war crime.

Democrats will force a Senate vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act funds The legislation is all but guaranteed to fail next week, due to widespread Republican opposition, and become a key issue in the 2026 elections as insurance premiums rise.

🚨 Sen. Angus King, who negotiated the deal to end the shutdown, tells me he no longer sees a path to extend ACA funds, citing GOP demands for tougher abortion limits. “The Republicans have made Hyde a red line,” King said. “And that’s not gonna work.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
