I guess when you've recently shitcanned your entire Middle East reporting team, the only alternative is to sit on your duff and wait to see what the utterly trustworthy military found out.

She is actually the best. Imagine if Musk, Bezos, or Zuck had even 10% of this woman’s creative generosity

Kinda like killing a cartel leader. There is always another more violent one to replace him.

I need to add that the casual misogyny is truly something else.

As Sharon Su @doodlyroses.com said yesterday, engaging with the classics can be personally challenging, even for people like me whose profession is to see the past in context. bsky.app/profile/dood...

The Front Page (1931 film) - Wikipedia

Watching the 1931 film The Front Page as a way of avoiding reality. It fully deserves its place among the best films ever made. Surprisingly a major character is an unjustly condemned anti-capitalist radical. Unsurprisingly casual racism pops up throughout the film.

They are also literally in a hotel ballroom in Florida. Not the situation room or anything even vaguely secure

Truly.

They've explained to me how the sound of a missile being intercepted is different from the sound of a missile strike. No one should ever have to learn this.

When your day has been interrupted multiple times by WhatsApp messages from a friend who's been in & out of bomb shelters all day long. All because of the evil men do.

My president is a lying, conniving, war-mongering, white supremacist who claims to have grabbed women by the p*ssy. Just the facts.

Smart kid.

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.

Americans joined POTUS at the White House to celebrate Black History Month.

These people have no shame. No president has worked so hard to censor the stories of African Americans. #BlackHistoryMonth www.whitehouse.gov/videos/ameri...

Good for you. I'm always disappointed by how few bikes & e-bikes I see on the streets or, like this morning, at the Ix market. Then I remember that I'm one of many people who choose not to bike because this city is so bike-unfriendly. Not great for walking, either, but I do it.

Especially downtown!

Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if there’s another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?

The statement itself is appalling. As you'd expect. He's not actually opposed to the war. He's begging for a fig leaf of legitimacy.

He & his staff can't even do alt-text right. Couldn't be bothered to copy & paste. smdh. Dude's gotta go.

This country is being run by unserious people.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Your periodic reminder that Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., published "The Imperial Presidency" in 1973. Congress has been making itself more & more irrelevant for a long time. It's not just this current crop of Dems.

💯 And they will inevitably be used at home.
