After 18 years at The Washington Post, I’m excited to announce a new chapter. I’ve joined the intrepid team at ProPublica, which is expanding its D.C. newsroom to pursue accountability journalism on national security, including …

If your face didn’t look like this in 2020, I don’t really care what you think about Dr Fauci. That man saved millions of lives. We did what we could with the information we had. Florida opened back up too soon, and nearly 100,000 people died, one of highest death rates per capita in the nation
Seth Meyers just referred to Steven Miller as the Cyclops’ two-eyed brother. Biclops. 💀
nobody is ever beating Barack Obama in a “broke the worst half of America’s brains” competition but I’m impressed that Anthony Fauci is emerging as the LeBron to his MJ
Okay one more odyssey post. Really loved the movie. But I for one am willing to stop rescuing Matt Damon. At some point we’re just going to have to collectively agree that if Matt Damon gets lost again we just have to let him go.
BREAKING: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man who killed Democratic Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman is sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years in prison.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
Lauren Underwood flipped, and has held, a formerly Republican district where they still have a Loyalty Day Parade in May. More impressive than a a Dem flipping a Dem in a reliably blue district.
Pierce@pierceah66.bsky.social · 2w agoThe DCCC Recruitment Co-Chair is Lauren Underwood, one of the most legislatively productive Reps in the country & someone with a genuine argument as the best House Rep in the country. Fuck David. He should take more boat pics with the accused serial rapist he backed. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...
$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoHoman on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."
This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
In all fairness, women should get to decide what is done with Mitch’s body.
Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.
Anyone else notice the last wave of “immigrants are coming for your jobs” was when corporations moved jobs offshore? And it’s back as they’re replacing every job they can with ai or tech? I have a Fox News watching neighbor who ends every statement with “no one wants to work.” No matter the topic
The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.
"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables
Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
