@mattyglesias He’s an accelerator on every level, renewables scaling rapidly as a direct result of his decisions a textbook example of unintended consequences
For anyone interested in doing their own research before Trump’s speech tonight… you can read the full declassified report on foreign threats to the 2020 election here. There was NO foreign interference in the 2020 election.

Christopher Nolan disagrees with Matt Damon saying #TheOdyssey could be the last Hollywood movie of its kind: "There’s a defeatist aspect of viewing it that way."
“I think I know what [Damon] was driving at, because it does seem like a long time since somebody made a film like this in this type of way, where you travel the world, get together a cast of thousands and so on. But there’s a defeatist aspect of viewing it that way that I don’t agree with. I think cinema is vital and essential and continues to transform itself — we’ve got all these great new young voices in movies, making the medium their own and moving it forward.” (via The Telegraph)

@maggieNYT and @jonathanswa’s Regime Change is so good. For instance, this scene of the Evil Geniuses gathered with Trump and Stephen Miller in the Cabinet Room last year. Comic book villains come to life.
So the chip in the ball detected the Croatian player’s hair vs Portugal but it didn’t work when the ball hit the freaken cable of the camera to favor England?
@JosephONeillx@AJentleson Let’s all just live in fantasy land and maybe also we can all have Unicorns 🦄 as pets tooo
People need to grow up, and get real about where we are at and what this is gonna take. It ain’t a bunch of 29 year olds who want to “fight” - fight with who? Democrats? Stupid
Here are some of the facts about Gen CD Donahue’s storied Army career. Hegseth is forcing him to retire with no explanation, sending shockwaves through the Army and Special Ops community where Gen Donahue is widely respected.
* Commander of Delta Force in Iraq and Syria during the ISIS fight
* Led the mission to capture the Benghazi planner in Libya
* Ordered to secure the Kabul Airport after a chaotic withdrawal; returned order to the airport; arranged for hundreds of evacuation flights saving tens of thousands of lives; was NOT in charge of security at Abbey Gate where Marines were in charge of securing that entrance to the airport where 13 Americans were killed by a suicide bomber
* coordinated military aid to Ukraine after the Russian invasion and knows more about lessons learned on the Ukraine battlefield and advances in drone warfare than any senior officer in the US military
* led humanitarian aid efforts as head of 82nd Airborne from post at Ft Bragg during NC floods two years ago
* stint as head of US Army Europe cut short and will require presidential waiver not to lose 4th Star and retirement benefits after Secretary Hegseth forced him to retire early, having not had his 4th Star for the requisite 3 years. He was 18 months into current assignment.
@DKThomp History allows us to gain perspective. Of course Journalism wasn’t as good when there was no digital audit trail, and deadline and scoop incentives drive bad behavior just like today
What’s cool is when History surprises you the opposite @DKThomp Prez Garfield as a good example
@speechboy71@davidfrum Seems to me any Democrat who can get to 50% against Collins is an….outlier? What evidence does anyone have that a generic Democrat would be beating Collins?
