INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

There are more righteous orange cats than them.

Yes we are. We’re going to stop them

The only thing that could have prevented this is preserving the 90% tax rates of the 1950s. Billionaires do this because they’re billionaires. (Preserving the media consolidation rules Regan killed would have helped too.)

This “Fuck Ice” interview with an iconic Minneapolis comic book store owner is very good.

Dr. Isaac Pope is being called the Larry Nassar of Washington state.

A civil lawsuit alleges he sexually assaulted hundreds of children in state juvenile facilities in the 1980s and 90s. Kids who were supposed to be protected. Kids who had no power. The abuse went on for years.

The Sánchez 🇪🇸 government has

- built Europe's boom economy
- hiked minimum wage from €736 to €1221
- cut insecure work from c.30% to c.13%
- regularised, not demonised, migrants
- stood up for human rights
- refused to humiliate itself before Trump

No wonder Musk hates it.

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

France has saved us before.

A screenshot of a tweet by Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA), verified, posted about four hours earlier. The tweet claims he overheard several college women at an OrangeTheory gym talking about “Melania” after a workout. He writes that they admired the First Lady’s “class, humanity, and business acumen,” and includes quoted dialogue using slang like “Period sis” and “Slay queen,” saying they were surprised by her intelligence and talent. The tweet continues with a quote claiming the women said President Trump is a good husband and a gentleman and that the media lies about him. It concludes with the author asserting that the film he references has secured the female vote for the GOP in the midterms.

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

But they nodded in agreement in hushed tones. How can you doubt?

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

I’m visiting Korea this summer and I just know I’m going to embarrass myself. The number of times I blurt out “daebock” and “gahmsabnida” will be epic.

Goals.

Evil.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

This made me weepy

They are beautiful.

This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact."

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

I am seeing it on a local level with neighbors who are reaching out and saying, "what can we do." People organizing rent and groceries and child pick up.

I am seeing it on a level I have never seen before: people seeing what we are up against and choosing to care for those around them.

Here is the original draft federal indictment of Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking that was prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, but ultimately tossed aside by Alex Acosta's office to allow Epstein to plea to a much lesser state charge.

I need @mayor.nyc.gov to read about this alternative to traffic cops

I don’t know what school traffic cops go to but even the ones in L.A. are amazing to watch. It’s like they’re performing some kind of synchronized dance.

Nuke it from space.

No. Commonsense reform is to burn ICE to the waterline and scatter the rubble so that all of us who value a constitutional republic with a Bill of Rights can prevent such a monstrosity from ever being constructed again.
And nothing above is hyperbole.

God, but you are not a leader for this time.
