I worry that it’s too much to expect careers military officers to speak up about this, but Jess is right: this is a shocking breach of American traditions. George Washington is rolling in his grave.

Congrats ABC. You must be so proud.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Why are people so eager to embrace defeat? If 200,000 voters had changed sides in four states, none of this would be happening right now. And we heard the same arguments in 2017: There will be no midterms. Trump will never let 2020 happen. It's all over. And yet, it wasn't.

Musk touched the hot stove. Hopefully he learns from it

What an outstanding hockey game. #Oilers #StanleyCup

Putin: "Who even negotiates with those who bet on terror?" Says the man who has launched a full-scale war against another country and attacks civilians every day.

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

Don’t expect political courage from Senate GOP. Republicans in Congress huff & puff, but Donald Trump always blows their house down.

Unbelievable www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

The Pittsburgh Penguins have named Dan Muse as the franchise’s next head coach.

What could go wrong?

“Who’s calling?” Trump asked when he answered our call one morning in late March. (It was a fair question; it could have been almost anyone.) My story w @michaelscherer.bsky.social, on the Secret History of Trump's private cell phone. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Ben Shapiro, for years, has insinuated Barack Obama hates America and Israel for agreeing to a nuclear deal that wasn't even as favorable to Iran as this one

Very classy of the Panthers showing their respect for the Gaudreau's. 👏 (via: X/@FlaPanthers)

VIDEO: Dobber is back and gives his take on Marco Rossi. Trade rumors are out there, but we think he stays put. Today, we’re breaking down why he’s a gem you can’t ignore. Let’s dig in! #MarcoRossi #FantasyHockey #MinnesotaWild #NHL #FantasyValue #HockeyStats #TradeRumors #HockeyAnalysis #MNWild

THE EDMONTON OILERS HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL 🏆

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

They really are the whiniest bunch. And it’s actually diagnostically relevant, if we want to understand their political project: A movement of people who feel victimized by a society they believe owes them constant adulation and deference, whose self-pity inevitably turns to authoritarian cruelty.

Sean Hannity used to tell his audience about getting the flu shot every year and how much it helped him. He’s changed his tune: www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity...

So his pitch is, hand over your entire country to me and it’ll save you $61 billion?

Bribery not illegal if the President takes bribes

Jess and I sat down with @rahmemanuel.bsky.social for a conversation about the Democratic Party at a crossroads. @ragingmoderates.bsky.social @jessicatarlov.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1Y56...

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

It's ok. He's going to fire all the cryptologists next month anyway.

Is it the goal of Bluesky to just be the left wing version of X? I hope they have greater ambition than that...

No matter how many times I tell @bsky.app I want to see less trans activism in my feed (mechanism is pressing the "Show less of this"), when I log in, within the first few posts is always another involuntarily dose of left wing political activism that I want less of on my feed.

"They [the West] simply forced us to do what we are doing now [waging war]. And they are trying to make us to blame for this." - Putin. Of course, he's not crazy. He only lies and kills because he can. And he'll keep doing it until he's stopped.

TAPPER: I have a hard time thinking that if a D president held a dinner for investors in his cryptocurrency, you wouldn't be outraged MIKE JOHNSON: Look, I don't know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I'm not going to comment on something I haven't even heard about

This is so depressing www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

This man should not be in charge of anything—parking meters, the ring toss game at the carnival, a bouncy castle—nothing.
