I have to agree with the comments that said Reingold must not have many friends if no one tried to get her not to make/post this. If she really wanted to make the point she's a serious journalist and Oliver isn't, I'd have thought she'd produce facts to rebut his claim about her story being slanted.
The fascists are still hoping bringing the shutdown to the brink of stopping SNAP benefits (which they could fund at any time) will force the Dems to cave on cutting health insurance subsidies because of their talking point that Dems aren't negotiating in order to fund health care for illegals.

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.
Can't thank you enough for posting this clip! Here's the full episode of the local show "California Gold," hosted by Huell Howser, with Joe Rinaudo playing and explaining the amazing American Fotoplayer, built in 1910 to provide musical accompaniment to silent movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5nH...

They're afraid Trump is going to get mad and bulldoze the Reagan Library
The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
Worse than taxpayer money being used for the grandiose ballroom is money from corporate donors buying influence from the White House
Trump: “It won’t touch it”

It’s the Epstein Ballroom. Trump will let it touch whatever it wants.
The common bronzewing is indeed very colorful (see below) but not quite as colorful as the photo that is circulating, which is very highly colorized.

I fully support any candidate who criticizes the current Israeli govt and wants to work toward peace in the Middle East. However, nowhere in this letter does the author dispute that Mamdani goes further and says he does not support the right of the state of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.

Of course they deceptively edited this viral clip now playing on a loop outside Mike Johnson’s office by cutting it mid-sentence. Here is the rest of the part they cut out.
My favorite part of this story is a phrase in the memo ICE HQ sent to agency heads lamenting the "considerable amount of athletically allergic candidates.”

everyone: we don’t want kings

rightwing media: this is a confusing protest line, no one is claiming trump is a king

the entire trump administration:
I was very lucky to have a conference in Chicago in 2016, when the first extended engagement of Hamilton outside New York City had just started performing there and we got relatively cheap group tickets. The cast included Miguel Cervantes as Hamilton, who later played the role on Broadway.
Yup - the counterprotests that did exist were pretty pathetic
The statements from various police depts struck me as unusual too. When I saw the NYPD one, my first thought was that it was a troll on the MAGA attempt to frame these protests as unAmerican and organized by violent antifa terrorists bsky.app/profile/ronf...
So no terrorism then?
