I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

This should be a huge controversy, but it’s lost in all the other unconstitutional goings on.
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

I’ve only barely watched the news since last November. I tuned in a bit tonight, and I still get that sick feeling in my gut even when there’s good news.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In a study of over 100 German soldiers who refused to follow orders to kill civilians during WW2, none received the death penalty, and indeed very few

This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show.
That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.

The small man really thinks he's some kind of genius about...well...everything. If it wasn't so freakishly dangerous, I'd just call it pathetic.
and if this stern scolding doesn’t work, opec is grounded and going to bed without dinner
Don't worry, Trump has a plan for keeping energy prices down

My doctor's office's appointment reminders are saying "CST." I wish they'd realize that, if I showed up based on their messages, I'd be an hour late.

I'm not big on dress codes, but this dude's low-cut toucan shirt is a definite choice.
In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

Hats off to the whole After Midnight staff and crew and Taylor Tomlinson on a great HOUR LONG show of new comedy 4 nights/week! CBS and Paramount are letting go of something good by not renewing it with a new host.

If you can’t hack it on X (and why would you want to?) but you don’t want to adapt to another format of social media but you also aren’t willing to migrate to Bluesky then you get these kinds of pieces that are like actually Bluesky SUCKS!

It’s surely helpful for investigators, but having video of every plane crash these days is not something everybody event wants to see.
