@CaitlinPacific Also "the fact of the matter is" when it's in dispute

Every Member of Congress should watch @RepJasonCrow here. Asking tough, pointed, clear questions at hearings is always more effective than simply delivering repetitive monologues.

Many thanks to @DavidAFrench for writing this piece, for having thought the issue through. It is one of the most important issues of our time. https://t.co/2rjVhNCs07

Since taking office last year Pete Hegseth has ousted at least 21 generals. “He’s a 12-year-old boy with a set of army action figures who likes to play war,” sighs one former military official https://t.co/u9ZMF9A5l2

There's Putin again, "defending Christian civilization." Now that Orbán is out, he has to work harder than ever.

I am forever grateful that when I served as a US ambassador for President Obama I never had to abandon my values that I held before working for his administration.

Ambassador Walz seems like an honorable person to me. I’ll bet he will regret making these kind of compromises in his post-Trump years.

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

12 countries voted against Ukrainian sovereignty at the UN — including Russia and Belarus. 107 voted for it. 

The United States abstained.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tried to evoke Holy Scripture but instead quoted Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" during a Pentagon worship service.

Hagseth read the altered version of Ezekiel 25:17 quoted by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie just before he shoots a man to death.

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

Péter Magyar:

Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again.

Crowd chants: "Russians go home!"

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Viktor Orban has conceded the Hungary election!!! A reminder that authoritarianism can be defeated, even when it tilts the playing field--because voters resent corruption and misrule. Much depends on having the right candidate to oppose the authoritarian. https://t.co/YBhEoiEk3M

@brithume What's wrong with Trump?

[Tina Brown @TinaBrownLM]

Thank God for the rigor of NYT and others who combed through footage of the school bombing in Iran. After Karoline Leavitt, who looks more like a mendacious milkmaid every day, insisted it was “propaganda” the US may be responsible, digital sloggers revealed the gutting evidence.

Ezra Klein: "Having AI summarize a book or paper for me is a disaster.

It has no idea what I really wanted to know and wouldn't have made the connections I would've made. I'm interested in the thing I will see that other people wouldn't have seen, and I think AI typically sees what everybody else would see.

I'm not saying that AI can't be useful, but I'm pretty against shortcuts.

And obviously, you have to limit the amount of work you're doing. You can't read literally everything. But in some ways, I think it's more dangerous to think you've read something that you haven't than to not read it at all.

I think the time you spend with things is pretty important."
