This is ultimately the same story as the Kansas driver's license thing. The word of the United States government is simply no good if you are a member of a minority Republicans do not like. Lucy will pull the football. You can't live a stable life like this.
Both Iran and the U.S. are now launching attacks — just three weeks after signing a deal that Trump described as "unconditional surrender."
More than three weeks after Mitch McConnell was hospitalized for reasons still not public, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding answers. In a new letter, Beshear is calling for McConnell to "fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health."

Trump didn't leave the NATO summit in his new Qatari-gifted jet. It's unclear why he's not flying in the new jet he's been touting for months.
Trump Isn’t Flying Home on His New Qatari-Gifted AF1
Instead, the president said it will be flying to the United Kingdom to visit U.S. troops. He will return home via “normal methods.”

When people ask how to find sources to trust, I always say first and foremost that no journalist is infallible. And if they are unwilling to accept or even consider errors either in accuracy or morality, they cannot be trusted. This applies to myself as well!! Just something to think about.
I could not be less surprised that Ryan Grim is pushing this. Let it go, man. Your guy is a rapist. He’s not going to win. And this shit is a disgrace to any good work Drop Site has ever done.

![NEW: Drop Site journalist Ryan Grim has authenticated behind-the-scenes messages showing Politico omitted an important detail from its reporting on how the night began that led to the rape allegations against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.
Before publication, a Politico reporter told the Platner campaign that Jenny Racicot, on the night in question, had been “texting [Platner] about needing her glute massaged.” The reporter added, “That detail didn’t make our story.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjixfa7wudorsmbyyfios3kp/bafkreiguraz7rqctxwo7vfregpkjndisuo4nr2turcu52s77uxrl6dg4lq)
Apparently Ryan Grim thinks "texting about needing a massage" means you can never be raped, interesting
What? Which voters?

In tonight's Ragebait, I confirmed Breaker's scoop about Bari Weiss continuing to meddle with '60 Minutes' by reassigning a story to new hire Trevor Phillips. Only problem for Phillips is none of the producers want to work with him due to his long history of Islamophobia. zeteo.com/p/fox-fetter...
starting to think that being terminally online infects some people into becoming utterly unable to admit they might have been wrong about anything they posted online “keep posting through it” has become a desperate mantra
SOOKNANAN said the settlement appears to be structured in a way that allows Musk to claim he was cleared of wrongdoing despite a judgment being entered against "the Elon Musk Revocable Trust," which is -- essentially -- an alter ego for him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That is not how "law" works. A thing is lawful or not; "voters" come into the picture elsewhere, by voting for people to change the law. And this extra-judicial "voters" argument fails on its own logic: what power do voters have over a second-term President? Or have we just abandoned that law too?

Q: But why aren't you flying the new plane home? TRUMP: Uh, it's flying to Europe to one of the big bases where we can show it to the people. And we'll be going home by uh normal methods
*puts CI hat on* What he meant to say was "there are serious concerns about listening devices on this luxurious flying palace gifted to us by a foreign government, so the robust U.S. Technical Countermeasures (TCSM) Team at Mildenhall RAF has to do an immediate sweep of the plane."

Today marks the bicentennial of the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and the 195th anniversary of the death of James Monroe. Among our first five presidents, only Washington and Madison expired on a different day (and Madison died just six days early).
And Monroe five years later, and Madison fell six days short five years after that!👇
