So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.
And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Reflexive cynicism aside, this is the kind of political theater I've been wishing Democrats would engage in FOR YEARS. Good. Good. Good. Good. Watch it. Reward it. Let them know you want more of it.

Gross. So many people are losing access to healthcare, and the U.S. is losing a ton of goodwill (aka soft power) around the world.
It is disgusting that the Republican leadership of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee would celebrate in the most immature way possible the closure of #USAID.

Lying under oath is still illegal, right? Another person who needs to be held accountable. Fire him!
According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.
It was … two days ago.

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically.

Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”
