"Dynamic scoring" is the new "waste, fraud, and abuse."

I mean, if you were Ukraine, would you trust Congress with *any* operational information? If they didn't trust him with the drone info, why would they trust him/GOP Congress now?

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Ukranians gave a fake presentation to the Senate this am as they knew at least one GOP senator would apprise 47 of the info that he would then pass on to Putin.

TACO. TACO. TACO. TACO. TACO.

When I heard this morning that the entire Senate is getting a presentation from top Ukranian security guys today about Ukraine's plans moving forward, first thought I had is that one of those GOPers will tell 47. BTW, the Senate bill for secondary sanctions on Russia has 82 co-sponsors.

NYT, Page One: “Within hours, he had an email from China, offering to move his lab to ‘any city, any university I want,’ he said, with a guarantee of funding for the next 20 years.” @nytimes.com

It will always be Pride Month to me!

. . . in which AI has really learned the fine art of gaslighting (no doubt trained on a heavy diet of dating apps). Oof-a-woof.

Made frig clean-out tuna salad yesterday with lettuce (dressed with homemade vinaigrette), and it was too big for me to finish. Bought a small ciabatta today, toasted it, threw some mayo on the roll, ate it alongside some potato chips—and DAMN if that limp salad all didn't make an AWESOME lunch :)

Ah, but he thinks the Jews should be grateful, cuz, you know, he's friends with Bibi.

What's ethical for the Christians is ethical for the Jews. And the Muslims. And we non-believers. Innit?

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

"Richardson told FEMA staff in a Monday call that he didn’t want to create a new plan that might contradict what a newly created FEMA review council, co-chaired by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, might propose." (article is gifted)

An arrest is an arrest — and the numbers are the point.

So what is there to manage then? I mean, by this cabinet-level agency? Seems like waste, fraud, and abuse to me to pay all those people to deny any requests for FEMA aid when they could just pay for a rubber stamp instead.

Not to mention Elon and Thiel, and the rest of the techno dudes.

“Much of the federal infrastructure that supports domestic violence programs is damaged or gone.” The fascist American regime could not make its intentions more clear: Women’s lives do not matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

Let's also acknowledge that people with cognitive decline can/should have dignity. Others...decidedly do not.

You know, we really need to revive the NYC tradition of eating dinner alone at the restaurant bar. Some of the best convos I've ever had were having dinner alone at the bar. Not hooking up, just awesome conservation. I miss bar culture.

CAN THIS THROUPLE BE SAVED?!?
