What if POTUS decided to simply demo the entire White House, pave it over, and conduct all business from some other location.

Camp David. NYC. Moscow.

If he just allowed to do that? No notice? No permission?

The answer now seems to be: Sure.

I didn't notice that being much of an issue in that segment since they both seemed to talk over each other a bit.

I found her replies about Biden's messaging & fitness for office utterly devoid of reality.

Michael Weiss and Karine Jean-Pierre: Low Energy Trump Putin’s friend in the White House may be back in his safe space with his kindred spirit in Moscow, but Trump is finding that he has limited leverage on Ukraine to end the war on Putin’s terms.

Ugh... just listened to the latest @thebulwark.com podcast, and that Karine Jean-Pierre segment was seriously infuriating. 😤

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Eliza Orlins breaks down today's enraging 9th Circuit decision—by Trump appointed judges—allowing the president to deploy Oregon National Guard to battle the army of carnival-attired loungers in Portland.

wirh that said, the rest of the cast and the score by Alan Silvestri are great.

watching #PlayDirty based on the "Parker" book series by Donald E. Westlake, and oof... is the casting of Marky Mark as Parker horrible.

It's a shame since I've enjoyed a lot of Shane Black's prior movies.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Interesting.... It looks like @sugarcopperblue.bsky.social might be starting back up.

This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Will Tour as Rush in 2026 Drummer Anika Nilles will join Lee and Lifeson for a 50th anniversary tour dedicated to the memory of the late Neil Peart

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

The reaction to Kirk’s murder on the right is a reminder that Republicans are the most bad faith people on the face of the planet.
