@emptywheel In my class we were split into teams of three. My two female classmates did all the work. I watched. I couldn't have done it.

VICTORY! Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center

They can hang a tarp over the sign but they cannot tarp over the fact that no one is above the law

The Kennedys memorial always belonged to the American people -TN

@haaretzcom @Etanetan23 Chuck Schumer marched alongside Smotrich, a man who has called for wiping out Palestinian villages, and this is somehow not the headline. The Senate Minority Leader chose this.

ZELENSKYY: We see that Russia is increasing its internal production of ballistic missiles. And we have deficit of anti-ballistic missiles. This is big problem.

United States can produce 60 to 65 missiles per month. For today's challenges, it's nothing. We need to increase and expand production.

I asked previous U.S. administration, and I'm asking today's U.S. administration: give Ukraine licenses, and we will increase production of Patriot missiles.

It will be very helpful for us. It will be very helpful for Middle East, for everybody whom the United States will decide to help.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. @BlackiLi @WilliamJBroad https://t.co/r8pPDoXqgh

I wish the media understood what President Obama clearly understand and is warning us all about.

This is real and effects millions of people.

The Comey story is not going anywhere. It's theater BS by the masters of media manipulation.

Destroying villages, killing journalists, looting property and occupying another country's sovereign territory doesn't exactly sound like "fighting Hezbollah"

I could watch Democratic House Rep. Summer Lee bat around RFK Jr. all day.

She's magnificent.

As a doctor, I would simply like to observe that we do not, routinely, conduct ward rounds with a flock of attending bald eagles, nor assess patients with bolts of light emanating from our palms, nor have satanic angels rising from our toupees. Other than that, the AI pic of Dr Trump was spot on.

APPLEBAUM: Russians aren't winning, despite the absence of United States. Maybe Trump imagined that if the U.S. disappeared, Ukraine would collapse. It didn't collapse. European part of NATO, Ukrainians, and other allies turned out to be very powerful.

It's almost as if Trump is listening to Putin, getting information from Putin. He is not paying attention to what's actually happening on the ground. It's as if he has no information from Ukraine and from Europe at all.

So let's get this straight. Trump's plan is... congestion pricing?
