BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but can’t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Of course they did.
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been handed over to a private company. In an oligarchy, control of national assets is privatized. The US DoE web site says this contract was awarded after a "rigorous competitive selection process". How stupid do they think we are?

The Department of Energy has awarded a new $1.4 billion contract to Strategic Storage Partners, LLC—hardly a household name—to manage the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.

There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore
