Yeah, agreed. Broadcast team said The knee was clearly down while the only replay we got showed the knee still 2 inches above the ground.

The one caveat here is that Dems have never governed like this and it's highly unlikely they would in the future.

He's right on principle here, but it also creates a false 'both sides' dichotomy where none exists in reality.

I think this is an interesting question. I also think there's a pretty significant difference between 'mobile' QBs like Love and Williams and a MOBILE QB like Lamar Jackson.

Jordan and Caleb can scramble. Lamar can RUN.

From the paper that can't even bring itself to say that Trump lies...

If politics corrupts economic data, it stops being useful. Businesses won’t trust it. Voters can’t hold leaders accountable. The value of data lies in the truths it reveals — lose that, and you lose everything.

So, basically, going forward, we're going to have:
☑️ fake economic numbers
☑️ fake census numbers
☑️ fake public health numbers
☑️ no education numbers at all

I think there's an element where 'moderates' feel like they need to have an issue where they're aligned with the GOP to claim the moderate label.

MAGA moved the GOP so far to the right that they've grotesquely chosen this issue to maintain their 'moderation' at the expense of humanity and dignity.

The GOP moved so far to the right with the MAGA movement that these 'centrists' needed to find an issue they could ally with MAGA on to prove their 'centrism.' Grotesque betrayal of values and human dignity.

Not to mention, FIFA cozying up to Trump and the climate of fear he's created has the potential to keep many domestic and international fans away from stadiums next summer.

She's a supreme court justice in the minority - what exactly is she supposed to be doing instead?

So true. Also plays into the false narrative that the 'left' is pushing the 'transgender issue' when in reality it's almost entirely defending basic human rights and dignity against a strategic and unrelenting attack.

I'm hoping there is a reasonable answer to this question but:

Where are the 'No Kings' pieces of paper?

It's odd that they aren't in these photos. It's odd that the state police put that photo out and never claimed they were in the shooters vehicle.

While we're fighting against misinformation and disinformation - note that the shooter can't be a registered Republican in MN as there is no party registration here.

This is all very disturbing but it's not going to swing the legislature at all.

Session has ended for the year and both seats are solid blue.

targeted shooting, likely yes

changing control of the state legislature, absolutely not

The Floyd protests were really big and even still, contrary to what was presented in the media, they took place in very small sections of the Twin Cities.

Most of what everyone saw on TV or social media happened in a 3 block radius.

Sorry to burst the bubble but US group stage games have already been scheduled for Seattle and LA.

so frustrating that the @nytimes.com wording gives Musk agency in some actions but describes the lessened oversight as something that just happened as opposed to - as you said - his primary goal.

100%. It's also why I'm not sure leftists are the 'left's answer to Joe Rogan' either.

Most visible online leftists WANT politicians and parties to govern and to build - which is very hard for politicians.

Most right-wing influencers want to dismantle - which is very easy for politicians to do.

One of the big advantages that the right has is that their "thought leaders" have ZERO interest in actually governing.

Liberals and progressives - by definition - want to govern and put their policy ideas into practice.

Governing is inherently unpopular.

This gets at the heart of something I've long wished more people understood.

As someone who works on advocacy campaigns - we started talking specifically about trans rights BECAUSE we could see what was coming down the line.

Seems like this is why - after the rules meetings - we heard that it was more likely that they would ban pushing entirely.

The article states that the line was maintained by the Dept. of Defense, hadn't been needed or used until this month, and that no one at the FAA was told it was out.

Doesn't seem like something that would've risen to the Sec. of Transportation's desk.

Glad they're covering it but this headline and sub-head are frustrating.

Zero agency given to the people and policies that actually deported a man for a wrong turn!

Yeah I don't think the concerns are about the international reputation as much as they are that travelers need to trust that they won't be detained and / or deported.

After decades of right-wing lies about immigrants as lazy freeloaders who contribute nothing but receive benefits - it's particularly egregious to see DOGE and ICE raid employer information and TAX RECEIPTS to find where immigrants live.

Huh.

Great piece, thanks for sharing.

I'm hoping we'll also get profiles of the people and groups that have made it their mission to push this nonsense and force kids to be the 'grown-ups' due to hate-fuelled nonsense.
