Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the bad guys.

Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that if the U.S. launched strikes on Iran, “all U.S. bases are within our reach and we will boldly target them.” These are the U.S. military sites Iran could target: wapo.st/3TxYLcv

This warmongering fucker needs to be impeached And if you're offended by my language, consider that I'm a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and presidential historian who has done more research on the fact that Trump and Netanyahu planned this war for years than anyone writing in English

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Met someone named Merry today. I said, Are you named for happy feelings, Christmas, or the Hobbit? She looked me in the face and spat, NOT A HOBBIT, NOT A HEATHEN. I said, not a Nerd, either, I see. She stomped off. 😆

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

I think if your joke image is bad you should be forced to add alt text so you can rethink posting it while trying to describe the image for people who use screen readers.

The Georgia Supreme Court struck down several anti-voting rules enacted by the Republican-led State Elections Board, saying the board overstepped its authority. Experts say this is a major setback for voter suppression efforts ahead of the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

Now this is art! “State’s Rights” didn’t matter when the Feds invaded CA just now, did it. And kids are still taught this in many states.

Not trying is choosing failure and surrendering without giving yourself a chance to succeed. Not trying may feel safe, but it guarantees you the regret of never knowing what could have been. And so what if you miss the mark? 1/4

The heat makes people and animals lose their minds. Flesh-eating bacteria waits in warm, stagnant water. Things melt. Sharks hunt at the beach. The kudzu is always hiding something. The blistering sun wakes up the ghosts sleeping in the walls. Remember: summer is horror season.

Everything is bad but books are good! If you’ve read THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS or any book by any author, it would be swell if you left a review somewhere and also if you trained owls to attack anybody who refused to check out the books, this is a foolproof plan, please do it immediately thx

An unexpected encounter with one of my 25 poems in #Ledbury this morning - #Adlestrop, by Edward Thomas. I had to pause several times to gather myself while reading this poem / chapter for the #audiobook last week. So intensely moving. www.penguin.co.uk/books/461263...

Age 9: Flinging myself off the swings at high speed onto a concrete floor, bouncing up instantly and laughing, before bounding away like a gazelle. Age 52: Raising my eyebrows in a slightly more robust fashion than usual and fracturing my skull.
