Former CIA Bin Laden station chief Michael Scheuer hunted Bin Laden for the CIA. Now he’s a QANON conspiracy extremist who wants Democrats dead. The terrifying detail is that his wife still works for the CIA - and has access to classified intel.

Last night, my mother, husband, and I took a sunset tour of the delta. It was gorgeous. But judge for yourselves.

"(Biden)has set his course and made clear his priorities.

"Republicans in the House, beholden to Trump, can’t even elect a speaker after two weeks of trying, let alone agree on a workable strategy domestically or abroad.

"That contrast speaks volumes." washingtonpost.com/politics/20

@newsopinionsandviews 👺 Fining Trump with a $5,000 penalty is like giving a kid Halloween treats.
He's not supposed to be rewarded for breaking the rules & laws, Trump needs to feel the weight of accountability ⚖ for decades-long contempt of laws, rules, norms & values!

BTW, Al Capone then was sentenced to 11 years in prison for 5 counts of tax evasion after having been charged with 22 counts of the same offenses, just to repeat...
And Capone didn't have a lifetime as long as Trump's to defraud state & federal agencies.

What’s the difference between a cult and a religion? In a cult, the people at the top know it’s all a fraud. In religion, those people are dead.

If you can’t stand comments on news you share, stop sharing. We’re here for engagement. If you just want to scream into the abyss, go back to X.

Guess I have to repeat this:

When we get good news (legal, Israel/Hamas, whatever), can we take just 2 measly minutes to appreciate it before blasting it to smithereens and whining about how the good news is really bad news?

People are beginning to sound like the NYT "Blame Biden" headlines every time he has a win.

For your own mental health, accept the wins. Push harder for more, but FFS, good news is rare. Embrace it.

OR, just don't toot me with the whining. I'm trying to stay sane here.

Have we tried just turning off the House of Representatives and turning it back on?

I’ve always loved the Star Spangled Banner but who was this José?

Hey Jim Jordan, when people say they don’t like you and push you away after the first couple dates, you’re not supposed to force yourself on them.

I like Mastodon the way it is. I like having conversations and debating with gays, straights, muli ethnic people. I hope the right wing never finds us. I love Cats of Mastodon, pictures of flowers and trees. I love that dogs of Mastodon is a thing. I love that everyone here believes in climate change and that education not guns is needed. You are my people.

Pres #Biden has earned praise in Israel and among both Dems and Repugs for his response to the massacre in Israel. In round-the-clock diplomacy, public speeches and calls with the families of people believed to have been kidnapped by Hamas, he demonstrates experienced and empathetic leadership.

It is time, once and for all, to bury the notion he lacks the stamina or sharpness needed; he has both in abundance.
He’s the #EnergizerBiden.

War in the ME is a lot like fights in the NFL. The guy who throws the first punch doesn’t matter. The one who gets fined is the 2nd guy who is defending himself.
