Democrats Caught A Break— Will They Do Anything With It? 

Someone had to have been woke.

Agreed. I will add that if there are more Ivanka stories I may have to cancel my TPM membership. We all have our limits.

Musk’ll need at least two more emotional support children/human shields.

I commented about Signal a couple days ago but let’s hit it again.

What if Russia, China, or some other nefarious actor had already broken into Signal, why would they alert the Houthis? Only the Iranians are connected to them, and that’s primarily to f with the Saudis. There is much more to be gained if the Signal invaders keep quiet and gather whatever info they can. If they had tipped the Houthis and a jet was shot down there may have been a major investigation why.
We owe a major thanks to Jeff Goldberg.

Incredible, isn’t it, the rash of plane crashes, aircraft bursting into flames, near misses etc the moment the Criminal takes office? Coincidence?

Clearly, we need to abolish the Federal Aviation Administration and get rid of all air traffic controllers. Amirite?

It did not go well for Spartz. Her constituents let their opinions be known.

Oh, I dunno. Substituting Ivanka’s sour Morticia Addams puss and 1960s ironed hair would be a nice change over the smirking mug of the Criminal in Chief. Which should give you an idea of how tired I am of seeing that guy.

Democrats are as bad as the rest of us at knowing which particular story will resonate

A good moment for each of us to have a little humility.

Republicans don’t know it either.

Ah … no. Sorry, it’s either adulation and depression or the possibility of a meaningful life. Too challenging I’d say.

She’s incomprehensible boob. And even if Dems are at her meetings, they are likely her constituents.

Partly, “Only Democrats have agency” and partly that an elderly person with failing mental capacity can hide it behind anger, rancor, and impulsivity. “He’s decisive!”

In all seriousness, airline safety provides a fine counter to those who say everything should be privatized because the government can’t be counted on, people should be motivated by profit and then everything will be fine etc. A few years ago, I was listening to a talk show hosted by Alan Dershowitz (excuse me, I was driving through Central WI at the time, and that’s what there was) and some lumpenlibertarian called in and made just this argument. Not even Dersh would defend him.

So now Stupid Stalin isn’t just able to make stupid U.S. law with a wave of his Sharpie. He can make stupid international law, too! And, I’m sure that, like most Republicans, he doesn’t even believe in international law…unless he makes it, of course.
