Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:
This is just to say I have eaten the sun god's cattle on the island which you were probably saving for Apollo Forgive me they were delicious and so charred and so warm
A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
This is so reckless. Look at the chaos caused by that wake.
LOW PASS: In videos widely shared on social media, a Blue Angels fighter jet is seen flying what appears to be just feet above onlookers at Pensacola Beach. The Navy is reviewing the incident: www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

Ideally I don’t think politicians need to be emphasizing how masculine or feminine they are. This obsession with asserting traditional gender roles is a very clear conservative agenda and it’s a bunch of made up bullshit anyways
here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.
you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool
The fight at the White House makes me upset because its just an abuse of public space. But using Lincoln's memorial for a weigh-in? Its hard for me to exactly ascribe sacredness to a political space, but that memorial is as close as it gets.
"Ordinary people like Bari who are willing to drain their souls to fill their bank accounts" is a line that will stick with me.
I waited a while to write this one. The time finally felt right.

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/
"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Donald Trump's instability is more clear and dangerous than ever. If the Cabinet is not willing to invoke the 25th Amendment and restore sanity, Republicans must reconvene the Congress to end this war.
Let’s be clear where I stand. 1. No war with Iran—period. 2. Trump needs to be impeached. 3. His cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. 4. Congress needs to pass a War Powers Resolution. Trump is unfit for office. Congress must reconvene to take action.
Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
The sitting President just called for the end of an entire civilization. It’s time to impeach him.
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
Congress also cannot afford to table articles of impeachment against Trump again, as it did in December. This war is another demonstration of Trump’s unconstitutional actions that put every American at risk.
There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

This is really sad. I grew up listening to the top-of-the hour updates from CBS on AM radio. And obviously the legacy of Edward R. Murrow, etc.
JUST IN: Following today's announcement of more layoffs, CBS News revealed they are getting rid of their radio service.
