Do I need to re-tell the story of how I stepped in at the last minute to fund the local hockey league's season but then parents complained until they kicked me out as a sponsor because they didn't want their kids playing on The Effin' Birds?
That’s someone who is truly dedicated to being offended.

Maybe there won’t be an invasion simply because the military won’t know where the fuck they’re supposed to go.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.
Trump’s Letter to Norway Should Be the Last Straw
Will Republicans in Congress ever step in?

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

The furious campaigners angry at Mamdani for condemning the Mississippi synagogue arson, calling it a betrayal of Palestine, shouldn't surprise me. But it still kind of does.

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever.
Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Interesting insight here
Even 5 years ago if you had told me CBS News would go this way whereas the WSJ wouldn’t it would have surprised me — ultimately I think purveyors of business news are the only ones insulated from these dynamics because when rich people are paying you for market-moving news you can’t mess around.
