I've begun my migration to the sky that is blue:
Hope to see you all there!

I adopted a dog today who was on the list to be euthanized by end of day. I drove 2 1/2 hours to get him. His name is Jaxson and he is already spoiled.

@AndrewDesiderio send him to his room without supper

@MSmilack @JeffreyGoldberg Not just after he leaves, 20 years after death others can decide.
That should be the rule in states, too.

On this F-15 pilot: “It was his second time being shot out of the sky during the Iran war: he had also been among the pilots downed in a friendly fire incident by Kuwaiti forces early in the conflict, according to two of the sources.”

Last weekend the average ships through the strait was 5-10

Since the MOU was signed on Weds. it's increased to 20-35

The strait is reopening, despite what the doomers may say.

Musk is doing damage control.
I know a number people in SA who lost their jobs because DOGE so recklessly shuttered USAID and PEPFAR.
I know patients who needed meds and were met by a padlocked door.

He doesn’t get to walk that back.
He has blood on his hands.

[marcia smilack website: marciasmilack.com @MSmilack]

@AlastairMcA30 yes he has blood on his hands

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

Can we get an update on this?

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Let’s add that Obama repatriated 1.7 billion in Iranian assets that had been frozen in return for serious and concrete concessions. Trump and Vance are giving back $12 billion immediately with nothing in return.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Collins is lying here. The vote to overturn Roe was 5-4. Roberts did not join the part of the opinion that overturned Roe.

[marcia smilack website: marciasmilack.com @MSmilack]

@JamesSurowiecki Is she lying or mistaken?

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Exactly so. The case was a Mississippi law. There were six votes to uphold that law. The case was turned into repeal of Roe by five activist justices. The deciding vote was cast by Bret Kavanagh. Roberts would not join.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Everyone knew she was a huge security threat at the time but the GOP confirmed her anyway.

[Timur Kuran @timurkuran]

Why sanction only Turkey’s justice minister? He serves at the pleasure of Erdoğan himself. If the EU is serious, it should go further and say it ALL out loud.

@FurkanGozukara You can only believe the reports from the Iranians
