Remember when Sen. Sheehy accidentally shot himself in a national park and pretended he got the wound in a firefight in Afghanistan?

American aid has helped save countless Ukrainian lives from brutal and unprovoked invaders, who execute civilians in the streets if not stopped, as we saw in Bucha.

I can only thank those Americans who do not believe it was "stupid" and "for nothing."

Only VICEROY has a thinking man’s filter... and a smoking man’s taste! More ads in the series: tobacco.stanford.edu/cigarettes/f...

This cigarette ad features a journalist or writer smoking in front of his typewriter. He has a dictionary and other reference materials close at hand. 
The copy reads:
ONLY
VICEROY HAS
A THINKING MAN’S
A FILTER...
A SMOKING MAN’S
TASTE!

This man thinks for himself.
Knows the difference
between fact and fancy.
Trusts judgment, not opinion.
Such a man usually smokes VICEROY.

I miss Cold War middlebrow culture. They used to sell cigarettes by flattering the customer's intellect! "The Man Who Thinks For Himself Knows... This man thinks for himself. Knows the difference between fact and fancy. Trusts judgment, not opinion. Such a man usually smokes VICEROY"

This is what “regime change” means for Trump. No freedom for the Venezuelan, no democratic vote, just leave the old dictatorial system in place with most of the same people.

I think war is serious business, real life-and-death stuff, and should be taken seriously by people who initiate and prosecute it.

Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Sinking an Iranian warship thousands of miles from the Persian Gulf... my layman's instinct is to mark that as a little closer to an "official" war than a limited, regional operation in response to a specific, imminent threat. Am I being old-fashioned?

Saving these threads for contemplation later, but I am delighted by the "AOC-Moulton-Kristol" coalition observation. The Axis of Accountability?

Me. I want to hear intelligent takes from many different POVs. Even ones I find irritating or objectionable. One thing I hate about MAGA is that it is impossible to have a rational argument with them.

I look forward to reading this, but Never Trumpers I know all acknowledge that Trumpism was at least a recessive gene in the American conservative mix.

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

It is indeed a war. Not a special military operation, police action, period of hostilities, limited intervention, or anything else but a war.
