My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.
And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.

”Free speech culture” means that when a prominent activist calls you a “retarded pussy” you should not call it out because that’s cancel culture. You should just engage in better debate! Try going on a podcast.
Oh nothing. Just a major conservative activist, former staffer for Chuck Grassley and a former clerk for Justice Neil Gorsuch calling me a "retarded pussy." Fun stuff on X, the everything site.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

if you want the men in the White House press corps to stand up for their women colleagues you have to appeal to their natures; that is, remind them that it’s an opportunity for them to grandstand
“Quiet piggy”
“You’re ugly inside and out”
“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”
This is how the President speaks to female journalists.
The men in the room need to call out his misogyny.
Demand better. Don’t let him demean women this way.

FOR REAL. A lot of workers could have legit workers comp and disability claims and ought to have this all documented now.
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of whether appropriate asbestos mitigation occurred in the rushed tear down or are we just going to treat this as unknowable like so many other things with this president?
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How can he? I mean I guess interior can do basic maintenance if he means clear water will be in there. But actually changing it? Argh. I don't know the law around this but clearly we need much more stringent laws around Federal buildings and monuments.
Oh no
Trump’s next target for destruction is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. I can only imagine what sort of white trash gold coated monstrosity Trump will replace the Reflecting Pool with. #ProudBlue

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.
