Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Ok, so who thinks the jewel heist at the Louvre was a distraction from Trump's pre-demo looting of all the art and artifacts from the East Wing?

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of,” Trump said during an executive order signing in July.

In 1987, Reagan famously said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Thirty-eight years later, Putin has essentially said: "Mr. Trump, tear down this wall."

Haha smoke alarm battery check time!
Cooking tip. The directions on the parchment paper package said it could go in the oven up to 425 degrees. Fine. But if you decide to turn on the BROILER in the final minute of cooking, EXPECT AN OVEN FIRE. Especially if there's olive oil involved. I just learned this cooking tip today 🤦♀️

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

A good litmus tear for how informed you are about trans athletes is whether or not you previously knew that no sports governing body has ever produced a study of actual trans bodies to justify banning trans women from sports.

At the fish counter. A dad orders salmon filets from the case. While they wait for the order to be weighed and wrapped, his young son studies the array of whole fish on ice — aghast: “DAD! DAD! Look! I think this one is DEAD! This one too! Dad! Are they ALL dead?”
