It's been almost 6 years since Pete Buttigieg campaigned in the New Hampshire primary.

So clearly Pete's support is pretty durable over a long timeframe, even when he's not very visible. I'm not sure how durable others' support is.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

The FBI has concluded its investigation of Trump's assassination attempt in Butler, PA.

They found that the shooter acted alone and had no motive.

No, seriously. That's their story.

Secretary Hegseth’s partisan attempt to use the military justice system against Senator Mark Kelly is an outrageous abuse of power.

This is political retribution straight from the autocrat playbook. It has no place in America. And it won’t work.

But just this clip shows how twisted we’ve let our society get. What we’ve done to our kids. It’s absolutely unacceptable.

The US has fought wars for bad reasons, but this would be the first time we fought a war for no reason.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

The guy who dictated the contents of that declaration, but avoided signing it himself, should be called into court to explain why he provided what appears to be false information to the court.
The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego.

Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.
Unpacked:
In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
