Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.

But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

Barron's "he's just an innocent kid" phase is officially long over.
It turned out that the Convicted FElon & his sons got the Tates Brothers free, who both were charge with underage sex trafficking, rape, assault & child pornography.
Once again, a criminal help released REAL criminals. A pedophile release Pedophiles.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

-- -- The OLC’s memo on the boat strikes appears to reflect a particularly aggressive interpretation of the laws of war that goes further — and relies on more questionable analysis — than some of the most highly controversial legal positions taken by administrations over the last half century. --
Remember the Torture Memos? The Boat Strike Memos May Be Worse.
The Trump administration needs to release the legal analysis underpinning its controversial military campaign.

Nate Silver insults Heather Cox Richardson in a desperate bid to steal a fraction of the attention she's earned. But my favorite Silver tweet remains this 2022 classic:

“I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for ‘who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?’"

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.
