Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

BREAKING: I’m hearing that despite Liz Kendall and other cabinet ministers being locked in talks trying to convince welfare rebels not to vote down the bill the number of Labour MPs planning to do so has actually gone up to 127 👏

I’m shocked that two nations who have been fighting for thousands of years continued fighting even though Trump used all caps in his social media post

Trumpers now responding to CNN reports that Trump's bombing raids only set Iran's nuke program back a few months by trying to convince us "obliterate" doesn't mean what we think it means.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

KARL: What do you say to MAGAs who worry we're involved in yet another war in the Middle East? VANCE: We are not interested in protracted conflicts, but there's a question about how you achieve peace & we believe you achieve peace through strength (He's getting close to saying "war is peace" ... )

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

WASHINGTON—With the United States facing a daunting array of problems, leading historians reminded the nation that when making tough choices, it never hurts to stop, take a look at similar situations from the past, and then think about whether the decisions people made back then were good or bad.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Fascinating: Did you know that the Sun's energy output per cubic meter is only about the same as that of a compost heap? ☀️🍂 About 277 watts per m3 (277 watts per m3 doesn't seem very impressive. But the sheer volume of the Sun generates an immense output.)
