I had a conversation yesterday with a man who was kidnapped more than 40 years ago. While seated at his dining room table, he whipped out his iPhone and asked: “Hey Siri, what year was [redacted] kidnapped?” to confirm the date.

Yes, I do get to meet some very interesting people for work.

GOP lifting sanctions to help Russia sell their oil while they are helping Iran target Americans, seems more National Security concerning than a private e-mail server.

The guy pardoned from a 22 year sentence for sedition. The coup succeeded.

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

I feel a lot better now.

Fox ran older footage but labeled it as happening Saturday.

Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Did he fly from Florida to Delaware today? If so, is he flying back to Florida today so that he can fly back to DC tomorrow? On our dime?

Imagine if there was a historical precedent in Trump’s lifetime for a president prematurely claiming “we’ve already won!,” aka “mission accomplished”?

Don't have time to learn a language when you spend 12 hours a day busy watching Fox News and and posting screeds on TruthSocial.

Conor Lamb showed up last night at a talk with Michael Fanone at the Braddock Library (sponsored by Indivisible) and thanked him for what he did on 1/6. Audience stood up. And Fanone said "if you run again, I'll knock doors for you." It was pretty beautiful.

Every time he says something like this, the Secret Service quietly googles, “is dementia covered under executive privilege?”

Ever hear of the Buddenbrooks effect?

And that’s just his immediate family.

Excellent question. Related, why haven’t impeachment proceedings begun?

America can’t afford Trump’s war with Iran for long The economy has already taken damage from inflation, tariffs and a government shutdown.

I can’t afford health insurance but sure go ahead and spend billions in my name bombing people who never did me any harm.

His biggest concern one week into the unnecessary war he began? A playlist for visitors to his Florida castle.

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

No ceremony, just the hope of Republicans that no one will notice or remember what happened on January 6, 2021. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
