Down these mean skeets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.
And lately I've been thinking that if a drone strike happened to take out Mar-a-Lago, a majority of us wouldn't consider it to be an attack on American soil. Since we're talking about small prices to pay.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Colson Whitehead. Harlem, 1986. A work of fiction, yes, but a prescription for our times, a broader interpretation of “termination for cause.”

YES. But for any of this to happen, two things:
1. Besides flipping the House, we need 51 Democratic senators, not counting Fetterman.
2. Hakeem and Chuck must be removed from leadership with votes of no confidence. They don't have the cholesterol for this fight. We need wartime consiglieres.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

Al Roker just said this is the first year since 1814 that there hasn’t been a named hurricane in the Atlantic, which is great, but also I imagine, at least in terms of the continuity of seasonal cycles, some climatologist has posited, “Is that a harbinger of something we should be worried about?”

Yeah, I have violent thoughts all the time, too, but I have impulse control, and my whims aren't bolstered by unlimited law enforcement resources and the most powerful military in the history of the world as I struggle in vain to the fill the void in my life left by a dead father who never loved me.

It's OK. It's early in the season. Sooner or later Andy will understand that blockers are an impediment to K9, a diversion he goes AROUND, not a phalanx he runs behind. #KCvsMIA #ChiefsKingdom

Jake, I'm still waiting on the proposal for your book about Trump's diminished mental capacity to complement the one you wrote about Biden's.
Waltz, you literally shared classified plans to bomb Yemen with the executive editor of a news outlet in real time.
Both of you, go fuck yourselves.

TAPPER: I would ask if you could convey to Trump to let CNN back in the pool. It was not okay when Obama tried to freeze Fox out. I don't think we want a world where presidents get to decide who covers them

The occupational hazard dictates that one is momentarily stopped in one’s tracks by the question of Stevens’s vs. Stevenses’ (the latter being the correct plural possessive) before allowing that an apostrophe also serves to indicate omitted letters. A technicality. #ShepcatEditsEverything

As long as Trump is denying access to MSNOW, CNN and Politico, the remaining media outlets should push back by ensuring that once a week he has to face a press corps composed entirely of women of color. Just straight-up bait the misogynistic racist motherfucker.

As the old adage goes, "It's easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission."
But because legal procedure and congressional oversight move so slowly in any case involving his demolition, renovation, construction, and renaming efforts in D.C., Trump's M.O. is "Third option: Go fuck yourself."

#LSUvsMISS was closer than it needed to be. Certainly Ole Miss has national championship aspirations, but that was their Michigan–Ohio State game. They could go 0-for–the rest of the season now that they've beaten Kiffin and probably say it was worth it.

OK, the 2-run Lowe blast is not optimal, but props to the Pirates for the welding mask being their home run celly. That may be my new favorite thing in baseball. #KCvsPIT

At my niece's soccer match earlier I saw a dad at least a decade and a half my junior repping a Lou Whitaker home jersey in the wild — your periodic reminder that Lou and Tram should have been enshrined together and Lou's absence in Cooperstown remains a traveshamockery. #Tigers #BlessYouBoys
