There we go - now we have higher ranking US officials campaigning publicly against the EU, European governments and the rule of law.

The world needs to know Trump’s US is a country which will watch two stranded men fight for life on a camera feed for an hour, only to dispatch a $100k anti-armor missile to turn their bodies to pulp, and then laughingly describe it as military necessity. Show the world how we’re killing for sport.

Legal and military experts are explaining why this is murder regardless of his excuses. I propose my personal peanut gallery theory—there is no list of approved targets with the murdered men’s names. They were nobodies and we thought we could get away with murdering them for that reason alone.

That's one hell of a fine bird.
It's been weeks since I had a great day of birding in Central Park. But today I got several good looks, including my local favorite--the Northern Flicker! I was surprised to hear its inimitable cry and thrilled to capture it in the morning light! 😎😎😎 #CentralPark #birding #Flicker

The billionaire class is filled with shallow thinking and tired, vapid ideas. The push for public hangings as deterrence is a thousand years old and is on track to deter nothing.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

If I was still an art reporter, I would write about the sculptor behind this and whether it intentionally looks like the hands of decaying people

I've been saying this for a year now: the Democrats have missed a gigantic political opportunity--and, at this point, have failed in an ethical obligation--to create a shadow-government health department that dispenses medically accurate information, guidance, and advice.
WATCH: A CDC panel voted to end the recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine, despite a 99% drop in cases since in the 30 years since it was implemented. Chris Hayes and Brandy Zadrozny react. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6REM...

I was born in 1959 and when we played 1960’s good guys and bad guys the bad guys always put on a German accent. Confrontation began with the bad guys stopping the good guys and demanding their papers.
The fight began when the good guys refused.

Mike Johnson’s entire worldview is a time machine back to the 1950s and somehow his wife hit the gas pedal. This is what happens when MAGA convinces itself that misogyny is a family value.
