I wonder if any stuck-in-the-90s dems will dimly perceive how one obviously deliberate but casually presented line in a speech forced the media to start reporting a two year old story www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/u...

Odyssey was good Movie was good. Soundtrack/score was elite, crazy good practical effects and performances
Let’s just take a step back and think about how ridiculous this sounds. People who oppose a BUILDING are DISLOYAL to this country. Like what building is actually that important???
US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.
I am liking Star Trek Riverdale (aka #StarfleetAcademy) and I'm bummed its only getting 2 seasons. The Betazed brother guy is hilarious. "Hey roomie! I'm your third! Dudes helping dudes make beds, I love to see it"
Because of global cuts to foreign aid, the Gates Foundation has predicted that 2025 will be the first year this century where child deaths will increase.

It's not just nursing; they're going after Physical Therapy. These degrees take years to earn, and they want to cap higher education loans for these professions. Spread this far and wide so Trumpers get angry too. #nursing #physicaltherapy
![grocerystorefamous (kim dexter) - Trumps Department of Education just said nursing is no no longer a professional degree. Let's be real is about the fact that the field is mostly women and minorities.

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
Texas comptroller just (after delay) released the numbers. 70% of voucher users this year were never in public schools. Almost precisely what I predicted to the Texas legislature when I testified 18 months ago.
The UK MoD reportedly discovered that cameras aboard Royal Marines’ new K3 Scout drone boats were sending “heartbeat” data to an IP address in China. The Chinese-made camera components were identified during an investigation into the fleet.
Dude woke up one day and became one of history's worst monsters by blowing up the greatest permanent humanitarian aid institution ever to exist.

Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."
Yes, the Problems are bad, but this is no time for radical things like Solutions
"Is it land or people that vote?" rivals "who was president in 2020?" as the defining political Q of the day
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Tom Emmer: "Minnesota doesn't necessarily lean Democrat. In fact, if you look at the 2024 presidential heat map, it is overwhelmingly red. There is a blue dot essentially in the Twin Cities."
This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.
AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
This by CNN is genuinely reprehensible. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. -The 'new pain' case vs Mamdani is *solely* his religion. -He was in NYC on 9/11, at grade school -Soon after attack GWB himself gave famous speech warning against blaming all Muslims for terrorism -25 yrs later, this.
CNN@cnn.com · 2w agoTwenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc
The thing I trust Zohran Mamdani to understand is that RWers will also throw a fit if he *doesn’t* attend Sept. 11 commemoration events.
It brings me great joy to see that renewables are now so big an industry that they can order political hits on Congressmen.
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 2w agoVery interesting. According to Politico a big reason slimeball Rep. Andy Ogles got whacked in Thursday's primary is because he was targeted with $2M by a super pac funded by solar execs. They didn't user solar or enviro arguments. They used standard right wing ... www.politico.com/newsletters/...
