Listening to an audio book on Genghis Khan and the narrator pronounces it with a soft G, which is throwing me for a loop bc I've never heard it said that way even though it seems that's correct.
This is such an embarrassing headline for Politico.

My 90s alternative cover band played a 40th bday party last night and there was a little girl who must have been about 8 who knew all the words to Peaches by Presidents of the United States of America and I'm more confident than ever that the youth will save us.
I went to my first pop concert last night (Benson Boone - he was great) and was shocked/confused that people were seated for most of the show. Not just casual observers - like, people who love him so much they were crying were also seated. Is that normal?
I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.
FanDuel sent a personal message from Phillies star Bryce Harper to a customer with a gambling addiction
Terry Thompson lost $1.5 million on bets he placed with FanDuel. The company gave him VIP treatment — including a personalized video message from the Phillies' All-Star first baseman.

The National Museum of American History is incredible. I went for the first time a couple of years ago and was amazed at the wealth of artifacts and the story they tell. The Trump administration's criticism betrays a profound ignorance of what is and isn't in the museum.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last mo.Breaking News: The nation’s largest group of scholars of U.S. history denounced a White House report attacking the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
He should go to prison for this, but he is so corrupt so often that instead, it won't even register.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · last mo.Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.
But also, Rutherford B Hayes was a coward and Grant, while well-intentioned, should have burned the South to the ground.

Slaughter belongs in the anti-canon, a decision so egregiously wrong it has zero precedential value and is self-discrediting. It is not a plausible reading of a constitutional ambiguity, it is constitutionalizing the structure of an autocracy.
this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!
Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social · last mo.Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.
Lmao I generally don't think it's funny that the President of the United States is the dumbest man alive but putting this on the document used by *American* citizens to enter *other* countries is peak comedy.

An 83% reduction in speeding in school zones. Incredible numbers. Proud of my Town for doing the right thing over the politically expedient thing. That's what leadership looks like. www.ctinsider.com/fairfield/ar...

It's so unfortunate that this guy is in charge during the country's 250th birthday. It could have been such a cool celebration.
I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · 2mo agoI say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
In non-political news, I'm seeing Metallica for the 14th time next week, but the best part is that it'll be my wife's first time seeing them. Hooray!

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵
It's actually insane that we allow healthcare to be controlled by publicly traded, vertically integrated corporations that are legally obligated to maximize shareholder value above all else and have no obligation at all to maximize people's health. Batshit.
SEN. CASSIDY: “.. the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”
This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.
Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.
He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."
