To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

There are two kinds of bowling groups - the people who cheer when someone gets 9 pins in a frame and the kind where people express sympathy when you get 9 pins in a frame. My family is solidly in the first group.

I was talking with a friend of mine today about that outlook one needs to have in order to deeply change systems. It's a squishy sort of emotion that we can't name or label cleanly, but she inspired me to write down my best attempt at describing it. What do you think?

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

One thing I think we should have all agreed to as soon as the 3-candidate coalition emerged: we don’t give people shit about what order they rank them in. They are part of the strategy and using ranked choice correctly
Got called out by a Bloomington lefty as a “capitulating former Star Tribune employee wanting corporate media handouts” for my Facebook post ranking Fateh 3rd, which if you know anything at all about me is not one of my many sins. The Shining Path must glitter a lot brighter from B-town, bub.

It’s a bummer for sure. Thank you to our customers and our employees for a wild 9 and a half years. The bike industry isn’t an easy one. We’re still going strong in Northfield so if you have any winter projects, bike overhauls or custom builds please think of us and give our Northfield shop a call. Greg can pick up and drop off in Minneapolis until we get up and running again. The more projects we get the sooner we can open back up in Minneapolis. Thanks again! Now go ride your bike! ♥️

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up
Stephane Dujarric, the U.N. spokesman, said a videographer from the U.S. delegation who ran ahead of him triggered the stop mechanism at the top of the escalator.
After mechanical challenges, UN says Trump's team to blame for nonworking escalator and teleprompter
President Donald Trump used an inoperable escalator and a defective teleprompter at the United Nations to paint the global body as dysfunctional.
