Around 6pm #OTD during the #WarsawUprising German troops entered St. Lazarus Hospital in Wola. Inside were the sick and wounded, about 150 hospital staff with their families, five doctors, a scout nursing team of 15, dozens of captured German soldiers being treated, and roughly 300 other patients.

lol Politico trying to meme themselves with that “not the night progressives wanted” with a picture of the progressive who got wildly outspent and still won decisively

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

if an elite lobbying effort can convince you that you have to ban trans people from sports to survive in politics you straightforwardly do not have it in you to pass electoral reform, or stand up to the fossil fuel lobby, or do any of the difficult things that have to be done

Gregg Jarrett appeared to forget his own legal opinion about a president's use of an autopen to sign pardons. He said it as perfectly legal in March 2025. This week he said that the pardon Biden signed for Fauci could be challenged because he might have used an autopen.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...

‘We Ran Out of Space’: Bodies Pile Up as N.Y. Struggles to Bury Its Dead (Gift Article)

Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion alleging its documentary caused him harm to his reputation and brand. So the BBC said, “We want to test that. Show us your finances.” And a magistrate judge agreed. My write-up on how Trump got himself into this pickle, in the comments.
