Forgive me for suspecting Schumer knew exactly what was going on with those eight "rogue" senators, LONG BEFORE they decided to cast their votes. SO sick of these cynical back room deals. If it's not time for a new party, it's time for an active insurrection w/in this one. #AOC #FeelTheBern #Mamdani

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

A's take the opener in the final head-to-head series with the Twins, which increses their lead to 1 1/2 gms. Twins really need to take one of this series.

The fact that dogmatic religionists (of all stripes) and atheists insist on anthropomorphizing natural processes does not make that the appropriate thing to do, nor does it deprive natural processes of the possibility of a meta-consciousness the human intellect is incapable of parsing.
