Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

β€œAlmost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.β€œ

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Our media has implicitly accepted the personalist framing of Trump's presidency, and one clear indication is how they don't seem to regard his constant deceptions about his agenda as a political problem of any kind. The implication is that Trump voters were voting for TRUMP, not particular policies.

Mr. Bump, please unblock my friend @fiveburger.bsky.social, he enjoys your posts when I share them with him and is regretful for causing you offense sometime in the past

Has anyone actually been able to get Trump or someone smarter to name the eight wars he's supposedly ended? Even my most generous count, which includes a war he *joined* (Israel/Gaza, Israel/Iran I, India/Pakistan, Rwanda/DRC, Cambodia/Thailand, and Nagorno-Karabakh) I get six.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

The cameras are only catching speed violations at the moment. Violations are sent to the vehicle owner and they don't capture any personal identifying info. Not sure about any more beyond that.

Agree, but we'll get a sense regardless over the years that this pilot operates.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from β€œprediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

an objection to the war should be both substantive and procedural, but the procedural part is genuinely important. congressional abdication of power is a significant part of why we're in this mess to begin with!

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's clichΓ© to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Oh I'm not trying to dismiss your comment! I agree with it and hope he makes the team. His upside seems the highest of our young arms and I want to believe. I'm more bemoaning the lack of a challenge from this Atlanta group.

He put up exactly the line that I would expect given this Braves line-up, which does him no discredit but doesn't exactly pen his name in the opening day rotation either.

And particularly in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we should be making every effort to spearhead that growth.

If we want a city that is greener, more socially active, and more economically vibrant, we need robust growth. We should all be working to attract and support new neighbors.

Ramstad: Readers wonder why growth is good, and whether AI is the new threat Without growth, zero-sum thinking takes over, and it is the poor who are hurt the most.

I appreciate Evan Ramstad continuing to press the issue of population and economic growth for Minnesota despite the letters readers who are besotted with degrowth.

Growth can be challenging. Stagnation or decline is infinitely worse. www.startribune.com/ramstad-read...
