It's really too bad we're ruled now by people with no culture. Just for one example, Cicero wrote an entire book to cope with the grief of losing his daughter. Or read Napoleon's letters. He absolutely stewed over Josephine.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

Statements like these are best understood as religious statements and should be treated as such by the media.

Cover the Iran war as the Trump administration likes or lose your broadcast license.
They unlawfully go to war, and then they threaten to unlawfully abridge the freedom of speech and of the press.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Saudi spokesman @AriFleischer shares a @nytimes article from 2001 where R.W. Apple reports on concerns that Afghanistan could turn into a quagmire like Vietnam...which is exactly what happened!!! But Ari thinks this is a dunk on the media somehow??

Had fun on the On the Serendipitous Side podcast. We talked about writing some of the cringier scenes in THE SLIP, my one (very mild!) gripe with reader reviews, and the inspiration for the character of David. Hope you’ll check it out 🥊

Well, what do you know?
*76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.
It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

"I was a captain of my high school wrestling team in 2003. I wrestled girls. Nobody cared. There was no uproar. We had girls wrestling in boys wrestling, or vice versa, 20-plus years ago. There was a girl on our high school football team. Nobody cared. I'm sorry—I cannot take it seriously," says @grahamformaine. tinyurl.com/ju4vdy4h

Just spoke with Steve Toth who defeated Dan Crenshaw in TX-02 Republican primary last night. He's served with Dem. Senate nominee James Talarico in the Texas House, and held NOTHING back: "I served with James Talarico from 2019 to today. This guy is as evil as they come. There is a darkness to this man's life. If you doubt that there is a wickedness and evil and a demonic presence in the world, you only have to look at James Talarico. He's an awful, awful person." @SteveTothTX

Yesterday the whole country got a good look at what TX elections are like, when TX Republicans changed voting rules then blocked efforts to protect voters:

Why should Dems give a shit at any critique from the MAGAs? Can the people confused here not tell the difference between wanting good things to happen to people and wanting bad things to happen to them?
Tim Miller@Timodc
All the MAGAs I follow are RTing Talarico tweets from 5 years ago. We'll see what the impact is but it does reinforce my belief that the Dems would really benefit from finding an upstart in 2028 who emerged in 2022 and didn't really post during peak-woke.

Pretty shocking result in R AG: Roy was talking tough about avoiding a runoff and he's more than 12 points down with Mayes in a really comfortable position. Did not see this coming at all.

Travis County (Austin) is now casting a vote every half a second-- and accelerating. Thats a sign of both Democratic and younger voter behavior on Election Days.
**In the time it took you to read this tweet, about 25 votes have been cast.** #txlege

Weakest presidency in my lifetime. The administration openly admits that foreign leaders sets its policies.
Alayna Treene@alaynatreene
Rubio speaking to reporters now says the “imminent threat” the administration has referred to to justify US strikes on Iran was that they knew Israel was going to attack Tehran, and believed such an attack would prompt Iran to strike US bases and assets in the region
