So they get to court and the judge says, "For the record, please state your name." And Trump says, ... more »

What’s happening with Philadelphia’s foster care?
The City of Philadelphia is attacking the Catholics--THIS time—because it doesn’t recognize marriage between/among homosexuals. Therefore it must lose its grant funding for children’s foster care. But in fact, federal, state and local government social services sub-contract to many different religious groups, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and Muslim. The problem is, you have to dance with the one who brought you. And many do. Churches often have to compromise their beliefs, morals and values in order to get the money—to collaborate--or to even get insurance for their st... more »

BREAKING: "I peddled a lot of oppo on Gore!"
*FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018The extent of our tribe's degradation:* Way back when, we admired Nicolle Wallace's competence, back when she was pimping war and torture for Bush. Today, she's one of our tribe's most admired stars! We have so few stars of our own! We'll have to admit—despite past respect for her competence, we've come to despise the way she chuckles her way through her 4 PM program each day on MSNBC. For Wallace, this whole Trump thing is loads of fun. It's an hour-long meeting of the club. If you can forgive a gendered remark, her daily show has the feel of a laugh-strew... more »

Bill Gates has America's largest stash of fuck-you money, so he can say this without fearing the wrath of Trump: Bill Gates discloses in newly revealed footage that President Trump twice asked him to clarify the difference between HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV). MSNBC’s “All in With Chris Hayes” aired footage Thursday night of the Microsoft founder speaking at a Gates Foundation event, telling the crowd about two meetings he had with Trump, one at Trump Tower during the presidential transition and another at the White House last year. “Both times he wanted to know if there was ... more »

According to Twitter, it's #EndangeredSpeciesDay. Cool! Let's get guns out of the schools and protect our kids because they're about as endangered a species as you can get. At Santa Fe High School, at least 10 people, presumably mostly students, who were alive this morning are now listed as dead. 10 people who should be looking forward to the prom or the junior prom, looking forward to graduation and a summer of fun or earning money, are now dead. They should've been captured in awkward driveway pre-prom photos taken by their parents and put on social media. They shoul... more »

May be more slimming than working out in a gym, and nearly everyone can do it
By Dr. Mercola While a regimented fitness routine is certainly part of a healthy lifestyle, what you do outside the gym is equally important. Most adults spend 10 hours or more each day sitting, and research shows this level of inactivity cannot be counteracted with a workout at the end of the day.

BREAKING: Why the attacks go on and on!
*FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018It only takes one:* On our daily and nightly cable entertainment spectacles, we liberals get to imagine the joy of seeing The Others on trial. We also get to laugh about the foolishness of Don and Rudy's attacks. We do this because we may be slightly dumb. Consider part of what's happening. We love to think about the way Manafort will spend the rest of his life in prison. Have we ever heard about the way a jury works? If one juror decides the whole trial is a witch hunt driven by fake news from traitors within the deep state, then no conviction can be obtained... more »

GAPS AND SCHOOLS: Everybody wants "good schools!"
*FRIDAY, MAY 18, 2018Part 5—No one knows how to create them:* This morning's New York Times helps us see why we can't have nice things. Here at this site, we'd planned to focus on Richard Kahlenberg's attempts to "create public schools that are more integrated." More specifically, we'd planned to focus on his current efforts in Chicago. The formulation that we've quoted comes from Anya Kamenetz, "NPR's lead education blogger." In March of 2017, Kamenetz interviewed Kahlenberg about his efforts in Chicago. Her report appeared beneath an unfortunate headline at NPR's web site: *Tr... more »
Now that Gina Haspel is CIA Director, It’s Time to Come to Terms With the Torture Program
On Thursday, the Senate voted to make Gina Haspel the next director of the CIA. I don’t know Haspel myself, but I have no reason to doubt that she is someone with a deep-rooted patriotism and a sense of duty to the officers who work under her. By all accounts, she appears to be a highly effective administrator. Her long career in the CIA makes her well suited to understand the agency and its operations, and having served as acting director, she already knows how to run the CIA day-to-day. Unfortunately, Haspel’s confirmation process over the last several weeks has reignited one of... more »

But though the document dump takes up thousands of pages, the signal-to-noise ratio is low. The documents contain details fleshing out what was already in the public record about the Trump Tower meeting a... more »

The so-called "blocking statute" was introduced in 1996 to circumvent US sanctions on Cuba but was never used. An updated version of the measure should be in force before 6 August, when the first sanctions take effect.
