Is ANYBODY surprised that Hegseth passed on the blame to his Deputy? Again, another example of the kind of person he is that he was never allowed to command troops in the Army or the National Guard.
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 2h agoOof. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
It absolutely tells you things when the winner overcame an 11 to 1 spending advantage. The first thing it tells you is that the people spending the money to beat him are wildly toxic to Michigan Dem primary voters and that association damaged the candidate they were supporting.
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 13h agoMy 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.
Beginning to feel like I need to budget a week on the blog for a military primer on 'how the US Navy is the load-bearing pillar of your ability to eat bananas and of folks in developing countries to eat at all.' Not saying that is an optimal situation, merely that it is the situation.
Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
"I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state." I'm OK with this, actually.

This is exactly what the GOP intended when they set the cost of an NFA stamp to $0.00. With no functional tax, it (may be) a violation of the 2nd Amendment because if you're not paying a tax, you have no need for the stamp. I'm of mixed feelings about this, but tbqf, $200 was not much of a burden.
Kris Brown | President, @BradyUnited.org@krisbrown.bradyunited.org · 5h agoBREAKING: A court just struck down longstanding registration requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns. These are highly regulated tools and weapons that have been regulated for nearly 100 years, or since the National Firearms Act (NFA) was enacted in 1934.
I can see why this sucker was blocked.
USER WAS BLOCKED FOR THIS POST@blockedforthispost.bsky.social · 9h agoNo you don't - predominantly white working girls have been the target of Muslim and particularly Pakistani grooming gangs in a decades long hate fuelled epidemic of mass rape, torture and trafficking; whilst putrid UK Labour turned a blind eye and hoovered up bloc votes
Vote blue no matter who means exactly what it sounds like and that we should be supporting this man.

This is a 100% valid point, but I'm still going to support Al Sayad (whom this is specfically about) and the other winners of tonight's caucuses, regardless of my personal feelings because they are the choices of the Democrats in their respective constituencies.
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 23h agoregardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them
RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."
I said a couple years ago that Trump would soon depict himself in a General's uniform, and would probably start wearing one shortly after that. Well.

You know, taking care of computers would be a lot easier if users didn't... be users. Why are people?
Funny that one of the big talking points from the administration was they had “rebuilt the military” then turned around and used up all the PRsM’s, ATACMS, and half the tomahawks on a idiotic war of choice in the Middle East

Blanche gave Cornyn/Tillis a fake deal, which is not a legally binding modification of the original agreement signed by all parties like they demanded, & kept IRS immunity, so they can surrender while declaring victory. Just more theater from worthless Republicans in the senate.
There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

I knew that COVID was really really bad when the hospital here treated my heart attack as an outpatient case because they could not properly staff a couple of days of acute cardiac care and thought that I would be safer at home. And then VA docs couldn't see me because they both had COVID.
Gabriel Bosslet@gbosslet.bsky.social · 3d agoRFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
We just had an all-hands meeting at work. It was a "Cobalt-60 meeting" as I've come to call them. Management dropped a bunch of stuff and then ran. NothingElseToTellYou,AnyQuestionsFromTheField?No?OKBye!!!
"are we dealing with the right officials" is almost universally a sign the diplomats/heads of state are stuck, lost, in denial and are resorting to "maybe there are other interlocutors who agree with us", which is about as ridiculous as it sounds.
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 4mo agoCan they transfer us to the right department. 🤡
Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.
