New evidence has emerged from The Insider that Russia did indeed offer bounties to kill US and coalition troops in Afghanistan. A reminder that Trump downplayed and protected Russia in 2020 when the NYT broke the story

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Good take. In addition to the geopolitical ends (kill NATO, weaken Western alliances), another goal is certainly to ratchet up the "WTF factor" David talks about. IOW, to psychologically prepare the ground for the level of "WTF" that is about to take place generally, both in the U.S. and out.

This is what the Greenland/Canada/Panama Canal circus is all about. Destroying NATO by obliterating the U.S.'s role as a reliable, predictable partner in defending the global order.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

As the Jack Smith report gets tied up in court with stall tactics, it would seem prudent for some investigative reporter to file a FOIA request so that it can be produced if and when the cases are killed after Jan 20. Pending cases are excepted from FOIA. Closed investigations are not.

Red state life. Over 20 years of Republican majority rule in Missouri means that three days after one snowstorm major roads are still not plowed and safe. MODOT says they are short 200 plow drivers. MO has lowest state employee pay in the country. These clowns can’t handle basic governance. #moleg

Anyway, barring some miracle, it seems increasingly likely that a sizeable minority of Senate Dems are about to join with the entire Senate GOP to greenlight a law that will hand Ken Paxton and any random federal judge more power over immigration than any state or judge has ever had in US history.

Some Dems have this visceral urge to respond to batshit GOP ideas with "Of course I'll consider that!" They think it makes them sound reasonable. But it actually just makes MAGA sound reasonable. It's a strategic self own. Don't overthink this. Call out stupid shit and say no. It's not that hard.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

At the same time she was saying this 4 years ago, Mike Pence was hiding in a bunker with his Secret Service detail frantically trying to call the WH, and refusing to get into his car because he didn’t trust what Trump would do if he did.

There is no serious legal basis for the litigation challenging the Dem win for NC Supreme Court, and they are not following the proper procedure. This isn't a case of well it was close, a recount might still flip it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's an attempt to steal the election.

"That Melania doc? Turns out Amazon paid not for ownership but simply licensing a whopping $40m. $40m straight into the Trump family’s pocket. There was a bidding war. Disney and Paramount got outbid. Sad! They lined up to get a chance to hose Trump down in cash in a licensing wet t-shirt contest"

Zuck is citing an explicitly political justification to require large numbers of workers to relocate to a state where abortion and youth gender affirming care are illegal. That’s quite a statement on who belongs on your trust and safety team.

The end of Chevron has predictably led to non-expert judges in one part of the country directly deciding hugely significant policy battles about extremely technical subjects for the rest of the country, instead of judging the reasonableness of expert agency interpretation of ambiguous statute.
