The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Free Kimmel. Impeach Carr. Impeach Trump Kimmel's show was pulled from the air after his comment about Charlie Kirk's assassin prompted the FCC to threaten ABC's broadcast license.

Thank you @billscher.bsky.social Absolutely right. www.impeachtrumpagain.org @fsfp.bsky.social

“impeachment is the lone and proper constitutional remedy for an unconstitutional president and his unconstitutional apparatchiks.”

I’d rather them bring back the mini but those never seem to sell enough

I guess San Diego local officials can't see the irony in how they pivoted from capping their ADU bonus program to creating a "safe parking lot for unhoused schoolchildren," but the grim irony shouldn't be lost on the rest of us.

Put yourself at the center of a major scandal so more people look you up and find the podcast

Shortly before dark, Ewell authorized Gordon to launch the attack that he had been urging. Sedgwick's line crumpled, and confusion at Union headquarters was extreme. An aide ran to Grant with advice. "General Grant, this is a crisis that cannot be looked upon too seriously," he warned. "I know Lee's methods well by past experience; he will throw his own army between us and the Rapidan, and cut us off Completely from our communications." Grant exploded. "Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do," he roared back. "Some of you seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do."

Reminds me of the classic Grant quote:

Opinion | Refusing to Serve in Gaza Is the Only Way to Save Israel It is the duty of Israeli military reserves to stay home and not fight an unjust war.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Today, as the Israeli government “calls on tens of thousands of reservists to participate in the cruel re-occupation of Gaza City, I implore my fellow soldiers: Refuse to report,” Yotam Vilk writes in a guest essay.

I don’t have one but send me one and I’ll DM you

Pigeon. Can’t miss em.

You should make them red so they go faster.

I almost just think it’s best to make this an Epstein fight and you can always just move the goalposts later if needed

All of the suggested ones are good but the Epstein stuff has the strongest coalition splitting potential.

Tariffs are going to be increasingly felt by Americans so setting up a big fight over them now will pay dividends I think

I think you make it really simple and it’s:
- release the Epstein files
- end the tariffs

Very nice.

Can you bring back the Kobo Libra BW? This was my top recommendation to people

Super exciting and can’t wait

These people can only conceive of win-lose situations, and so they forgo win-win arrangements in favor of lose-lose arrangements

a significant recession has not happened during any zoomer's adulthood

“trump is a fascist” much like “orange man bad” is too unsophisticated for a lot of professional commentators, and so they have to look for other explanations that are inevitably convoluted and unpersuasive

It would be nice if they would increase the frequency

What knife are you using for this?

The Anti-Abundance Critique on Housing Is Dead Wrong Antitrust critics say that homebuilding monopolies are the real culprit of America’s housing woes. I looked into some of their claims. They don’t hold up.

Antitrust critics of Abundance claim homebuilding oligopolies are holding back supply and driving up prices, esp in Texas.

I did something really simple. I called up their sources.

Everyone I spoke to told me the same thing: Their claims are bullshit.

actual good-government reform is dead for a generation I’d bet. every surviving agency will be in angry defensive crouch because “reform” and “efficiency” will have become associated with innumerate-dipshit Maoism that let food aid rot in storage and threw away HIV medicine for imagined reasons.

Trump is trying to kill solar power—here's how to fight back Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

good piece www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths.

ENOUGH.

I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

If you want a real person without too much hassle you need to go through the change my plan page and start at the sales side, because of course

It's the worst. I recently canceled my service with them and they make you either schedule a call with them or go in person to one of their stores to do it (best option).

That said if you can get support on a chat and raise hell they'll usually give you a better deal

Trump, Miller, Noem et al are disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp to be tortured. They know this is what they're doing. Everyone who has touched this policy belongs in prison.

I’m not the biggest Negroni fan but I had one with sloe gin once and it was pretty good
