Duckworth: "I love our military too much to let it be abused by a tinpot dictator who was never brave enough to serve in uniform himself. I will not be complicit in a five-time draft dodger’s efforts to use our troops to intimidate our neighbors rather than our adversaries."
Opinion | I’m a veteran and a U.S. senator. Here’s why I voted against the Defense Authorization bill.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., writes that she could not support the National Defense Authorization Act and help enable President Donald Trump to continue misusing U.S. troops.

Crying 🤣…In August, South Park writer @tobymorton.bsky.social anticipated that Trump will add his name to the Kennedy Center so he purchased the domain names for TrumpKennedyCenter.org and TrumpKennedyCenter.com with plans to troll Trump like he did with his Boebert site thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

People think it's noteworthy to point out that terrible horrible people emphasize religion because... there is a false belief, pushed mainly by the religious, that religion and the religious are a source of good.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.
Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Yeah, let's be careful out there with Epstein shit. George W. Bush's military service was hinky as hell, but the fake memos fed to CBS killed the story after Dan Rather ran with the false scoop. (Look it up, kids.)

That Epstein-Larry Nassar letter has fake written all over it -- N. Virginia postmark, after JE's death, in a handwriting that appears not his own
It's hard not to think DOJ WANTED this out there to then be debunked and thus discredit every mention of Trump...

The US press has always treated Christians as special. Any other group of people with these beliefs would be ridiculed (an invisible man in the sky? and there's more...)
For me, it really shows the limits of human nature and how conditioned and blind we are to our own cultural milieu

It's also striking to me how often they writers encounter MAGA Christians who are polite to them and think their short encounters are indicative of who those people are. Christian nationalists are often ignorant but rarely stupid.

When I talk to allies about how to respond to Trump, my vision is a New Deal for America that makes healthcare and education free and housing and food a right.
They talk about how we can get the existing Dem party electoral victory.
We both want the same thing, but do we?

I'm not in charge of anything but I really hope we start to think about how we rebuild in a more distributed way.
The impulse is going to be to rebuild federally, but I doubt the federal government is going to be a useful or reliable vehicle for the next two decades at least.

Early civilizations attributed winds to the moods of gods, seeing them as signs of punishment or favour.
"Virtually no secular civilization in ancient times ever conceived of a rational explanation until Aristotle, who wrote extensively about why the wind blows", author Simon Winchester explains.
