Not once in this story does @politico.com mention that US factories employ ~89,000 fewer employees than a year ago.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

My sister lives in upstate NY in a fairly red area. This morning she posted this picture on the family thread, adding:

“I drive by this house with the inflatable Trump every day on my way to A’s school- it’s always inflated. lol today”

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

it's worth noting that the quote they went out of their way to make look stupid was expressing a reasonable point — a restatement of the long-standing official US policy in fact! — and the quote they clean up and sanitize is expressing a deranged threat of war crimes in an illegal conflict

The problem isn’t that two aircraft were shot down. The problem is that we aren’t psychologically or politically prepared to suffer any losses, because this entire war has been sold as a video game set on “easy” and not as a cause worth sacrifice.

The president does not - and never will - have the power to regulate elections.

This is about control.

He knows his wars and harmful economic policies are unpopular, so he's now trying to control elections.

And we're fighting back. #orpol

At least fabulists like Stephen Glass had the imagination to make stuff up. This is just pitiful & anyone who writes criticism by putting their real thoughts into actual words should allow themselves a moment of pride that they're not this guy.

“Sperm whales live in matrilineal groups: grandmothers, mothers and daughters. Females stick together, while males set out on their own in their mid-teens… Roughly half of the whales present during the birth were not directly related to her.”

We need to consider a return to matriarchy, tbh.
