I’m sure it’s just a low-T issue…
A Ship doctor warns exhausted sailors may go insane on the USS Abraham Lincoln. After 9 months at sea & 5 consecutive months in combat operations, conditions are deteriorating incl moldy showers, food shortages & severe lack of basic supplies. All for Trump's war. www.rawstory.com/uss-abraham-...
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
If we’re going to keep Michigan’s Senate seat blue, the Democratic Party needs to embrace El-Sayed. In the coming months, he needs endorsements from Obama, Biden, Harris, Whitmer, even Schumer. Find common ground. It’s all hands on deck.
It Wasn’t a Blowout, but El-Sayed Won. Get Behind Him, Democrats.
It’s an earthquake to have Bernie Sanders’s candidate defeat Gretchen Whitmer’s candidate in Michigan. But the real goal is to keep Donald Trump’s candidate from winning this seat.

New in PN: Jeanine Pirro crashes into the limit of Trump's lies "Did Pirro genuinely believe the scales would fall from Trump’s eyes if she showed him some pictures from the Park Service proving his contractor was at fault for the wrecked pool? This is Donald Trump we’re talking about!"
Jeanine Pirro crashes into the limit of Trump's lies
It's one thing to bullshit on Fox. It's another to lie in court.

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
I have no idea if this is what's going on or not but the results tonight are all consistent with my broad belief that Democratic primary voters are scared to death of losing again and as much as they like left/progressive ideas they are fucking terrified of losing again
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
I’m temptation bundling right now by watching the entirety of the MCU while I train for October’s Long Beach half. Today, I watched X-Men: First Class. Excellent.
Elon Musk saying "Starlink will deliver a majority of the internet on the planet" is a Bond villain waiting to happen.
One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
When Whitehouse is on, he's on. This is a flamethrower.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas
(after the Dodgers lose tonight they will have been 4-6 since the White House visit, which I’m absolutely counting as part of the Trump sports curse)
the funny thing is that on August 1 a lot of Dodger fans were still justifiably pissed at their own team over the Trump bullshit, but then the Skubal trade happened and fired up another round of ”YOU’RE WHY NO BASEBALL IN 2027” which made everyone be like “actually, we’re cool and you suck.” irony!
It’s looking like the Bar (no, the other one) has more influence than Congress…
Trump is doubling, tripling down on his LIE and will likely throw Jeanine Pirro under the bus. There are already talk swirling that she may be the next to be fired. Trump playing the accordion is one of his tells for lying.
Ballesteros to the Angels is great for him. The Cubs didn’t need him and he needs to play.
"I'm in charge of 50 states and half of them are absolute dog shit" is a weird flex
Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Telling my husband that he’s about to become a #Dateline special…
All of this #Dodgers discourse today on @MLB is reminding me how they traded for Mookie Betts and then they ruined him. Just ruined him.
