The next rhetorical hurdle for Republicans is to convince the public simultaneously that (1) the Signal conversation wasn't classified but (2) that the contents of the transcript are too sensitive be released.

What in Big Brother is this? "What we need to do is have the best teachers and pay them more, but they wouldn't teach 30 kids. They might teach 10 million kids at a time, because it would be presented to the internet with local teachers reinforcing the lessons." www.cbsnews.com/news/rand-pa...

In the coming days, remember these two simple rules: 1. When things go well, it's to Trump's credit. 2. When things go badly, it's someone else's fault.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

"Phone-free schools" aren't phone-free. In schools where "away all day" policies have been put in place, the number of 504s for phones is skyrocketing.

Just bought a $150 prescription for $27 after spending five minutes downloading the GoodRx App and presenting a coupon. It's so fishy. Can anyone explain the economics of this?

I have a feeling Liz Cheney won't accept a preemptive pardon if it's offered—and I hope she doesn't.

I would like to remind everyone that Sesame Street has been mocking Donald Trump since the 1980s with a character depicted as a villainous, trash-loving real estate developer. An earlier version was played by Joe Pesci, but he’s also been parodied as a muppet with orange hair.

Okay, wait. If you have to spend 28-hundred words fact-checking an interview - with *anybody - why publish it?

Americans' preference for fantasy is why so many people love this week's assassination: a lone wolf kills the evil CEO, and thanks to him, we're now on the verge of toppling the power structure and entering an era of reform.

The effect of the assassination will be that CEOs insulate themselves even more, and when they do go out in public, they'll surround themselves with heavily armed security details.

Tough night in Hegsethland. The story is the kind of leak that comes directly from Donald Trump himself. The most amusing part of it will be to watch all of the MAGAe who today were saying they would die on the hill with Pete Hegseth turning on a dime and suddenly saying, “Pete, who?”

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

Trump's racism and misogyny didn't keep him from picking Kash Patel and Pam Bondi. The characteristics he values most are lack of principle and abject loyalty.

Lots of people dismissing Australia's social media ban for being difficult to enforce. Speed limits are hard to enforce too, but we still have them.

Fittingly, @noupside.bsky.social compares social media to a gladiatorial arena. Another analogy is to the prison yard, which compels loyalty to antisocial identities.
