When has Tom Cotton ever really used critical thinking?
It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?
TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized
BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?
COTTON: No, I didn't

The word 'legend' gets thrown around like confetti, but in this case it couldn't be more appropriate. Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper has left us. A truly beautiful guitarist, songwriter and producer. We will not see his like again.
Thank you Sir, 😢

When I was young and the family would go out to eat at a diner sometimes there would be a mini-jukebox at the table.
If they had Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, it was played. And I was in heaven. That whistling at the end…Steve Cropper’s guitar…
Music was never greater.
R.I.P. Mr. Cropper. ❤️

Universities are racing to incorporate AI into their curriculum—but there’s a better way to prepare students for the future, Michael Clune argues.

I hope they said something! As a child I learned you never called anyone stupid; but our president never thinks before he talks, and our reporters deserve respect!
Let me get this straight;
An obese slovenly misogynist called a female reporter “piggy”.
And her male counterparts said nothing.
Then the same guy, who’s a dementia riddled inarticulate moron called a female reporter “stupid”.
And her male counterparts said nothing.
Great job guys.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Had a good time at the Reagan Library discussing the American Revolution with Fred Ryan.
“The rights of the individual are greater than the rights of the monarch.” Ken Burns and Fred Ryan discuss Ronald Reagan’s relationship to the American Revolution.

Out of control horror from his response. ALL Congress needs to speak up against him instead of wimpy Mike Johnson
On Tuesday, multiple Democrats made a video reminding the military & intelligence community of their duty to the Constitution, not to President Trump.
On Thursday, Trump called the message "punishable by DEATH" and reshared a post calling for them to be hanged. trib.al/qDwIcJA
