Gotta love phone calls from spouses at the supermarket: “We’re not committing to a mortgage on $1 million house. It’s a melon, dear.”

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last wk.Exclusive: Officials relied on a vague and unsubstantiated allegation to separate Pete Buttigieg from his young twins last month.

I spent way too much time translating the Aeneid from Latin into English in high school and college to spend 15 bucks to watch a movie about the bad guy getting home.
The unspoken thing here almost being spoken is the super elite premise that OF COURSE a white blue collar man is a Nazi rapist, and that's inextricable from his blue collar whiteness. No one hates the white working class quite so much as the people who center them in electoral politics.
This is about Hegseth’s testosterone program. Fox is a disgusting, toxic, revolving network that platforms the worst of humanity, peddles in lies, and pays people well to put it all on full display. But this seems to be what their viewers want, which says a lot about them as well.
Is it even worth seeing if the script is not in dactylic hexameter?

Matt Negrin still host of Hardball on MSNBC@mattnegrin.bsky.social · 3w agoThe NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers
Lindsey Graham went from being a huge Trump critic to a Trump cheerleader—making him the perfect emblem of what happened to the Republican party writ large. In fact, my colleague Will Saletan wrote a whole book arguing just that. Here'ss Will today on Graham—and on Trump's attack on Nikki Haley:
Lindsey Graham Died. Trump Used It To Attack Nikki Haley.

Dear US press: It is YOUR FUCKING JOB to speak ill of the dead if that is the truth and that is their legacy.
Claire McCaskill should be as gracious to Lindsey Graham as he would be to her. (Meaning, showing no grace whatsoever)

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
