NBC First Read: "Here's a thought experiment: Change the names. Turn Harlan Crow or Leonard Leo into George Soros, Justice Thomas into Justice Sonia Sotomayor – and Republicans would be crowing about the liberal coup at the venerable Supreme Court." @NBCNews
Don;t look now, but the $spx Standard & Poor's 500 is with half a percentage point of a positive 12-month return, and Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 1.8%. This is just the beginning. It's springtime, folks.
What’s fun is telling Hungarians about the US Navy drag queen, and them waiting for the punch line … then telling them it’s not a joke. Jaws drop. People here honestly can’t believe this is happening in America, and to America.
Hi Tommy: Does this mean you took $1 million from donors too? Asking for a friend.
On earth, taking more than $1 million from an activist/donor is wrong. Period.
If they didn't tell you that at Harvard, I'm sure the Jesuits at Holy Cross would be happy to enlighten the Justice.
Coach Steve Kerr made excellent adjustments on offense putting Jamychal Green in the line up to spread the court as well as adjusting their offensive plays. Defensively they kept the Lakers out of the paint.
Every line in this Booking table makes you go wow! Gross bookings +52% y/y. Rooms, airlines on . Plane tickets up 60%+ in each of the last 3 years. $BKNG may be having margin trouble but consumer demand certainly isn't the problem. $EXPE$ABNB$MAR$AAL$XLY
When does the stench get bad enough that SCOTUS stops the cover-up and ends the mischief? This is on the Chief Justice to solve, plain and simple. Mom’s rent, family tuition, vacations and gifts — and secret? Any other government employee would be fired.

The argument for DeSantis winning where Trump can't begins with the fantasy he'll flip MI, WI & PA. All have D govs, 5 D Sens. None have gone R for pres since the 1980s but for 2016, when DT won by 78K total. Color me skeptical that Meatball is special.
White House economists on Wednesday warned of “severe damage” to the U.S. economy in the event of a debt default, warning that a prolonged default could cause 8.3 million job losses and the stock market to tumble 45%.

The public needs to see this document

Two observations.
1. Tucker had his "moment of doubt and pain," but within hours re-upped his on-air sympathy for the devil. Many devils, in fact.
2. He wrote this one day after Jan. 6. If you claim on that day you never thought of white mob violence, what are we even discussing?
JD Vance tells @metzgov that Tucker Carlson's "how white men fight" text was actually good: "I felt that text message reflected well on him, not poorly" https://businessinsider.com/tucker-carlson-text-jd-vance-white-men-senators-2023-5…
It’s almost like this is exactly what Russia wanted so they’d have an excuse to kill President Zelensky by whatever means necessary… twitter.com/sentdefender/s…
Their plan: To send a 40-mile convoy to get stuck in the mud en route to Kyiv. Oh wait, that was last year. This year, UKR has an air force and would strafe that motley collection of convict conscripts.
The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev has stated today that the attempted Drone Assassination on President Putin last night by Ukraine leaves the Russian Military with no other choice than to “Eliminate” Ukrainian President Zelensky and his Cabinet.
CNN just posted the story. Rightly so, their tone seems skeptical
If Russia is correct and this is an attempt on Putin's life, we could see things get MUCH uglier
Russia is calling the attack a "terrorist act"
Other media outlets will soon post the story as well. Keen to see…Show more
Must've been this one that made Senator Snowflake's staff reach for the block key. Maybe he should have just gone to a better law school so he didn't spray twaddle in public.
Dude, this is such a clownish argument that even Jim Jordan is laughing at you in private. Either that or he's only just discovered his shoes are untied.
Donald Trump claims that he is the only person that can stop Israel from being nuked by Iran: "Under the Democrats, Israel will be destroyed because Iran will have a nuclear weapon, and they'll destroy Israel."
It's astonishing how dense these motherfuckers are. All day long, they show how everyone in the world should want to play poker against them. A trifecta behind DeSantis? Dream on.
To my Trump supporting friends: Like it or not, you have two choices: 1.) a potential win and a likely GOP trifecta in Washington with Ron DeSantis, or, 2.) a surefire loss and a likely Democratic trifecta in Washington with Donald Trump. Choose wisely.

This memo, written Jan. 7, 2021, shows complete lack of recall of the events of Jan. 6, 2021. When "group[s] of Trump guys" surrounded photographers and cops and did the same thing. It's really kind of impossible to be this morally dense. Fox must be some workplace.
reading this...i'm not sure it's the racism part that freaked out fox news as much as the fact that their most racist anchor is just openly talking about wanting to watch his political opponents die
"Somewhere deep in my brain an alarm went off: I'm becoming something I don't want to be."
And then, I did it some more.
Tucker Carlson
It's unfashionable to speak publicly in theistic terms. But Tucker really is going to hell.
The New York Times got a hold of the redacted Tucker text message that the Fox board was only made aware of just before the Dominion trial, prompting the board to seek outside legal counsel to probe Tucker's behavior.
"It's not how white men fight."

canned--which said whites don't gang up on blacks and attack them--where on earth did he grow up? Completely missed busing? South Africa? Rodney King? It would be funny if not so serious.
So the twitter mob is outraged because I’m a millennial congressman with a sense of humor & a decent understanding of pop culture.
I rather be relatable than think that face book is a book of faces.
I work for my constituents and I take off weekend just like you.
The DeSantis campaign has just dropped a quasi-announcement video. You can watch it here. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bHM0aj_fLMo… Here's what I noticed as I watched ...
Since Justice Alito also signed an opinion that said most of the Voting Rights Act was unnecessary because no state would ever engage in racist voting practices, perhaps his sleuthing skills are not definitive.
NEW: A Texas man firing an AR-15 in his front yard killed five people in a neighboring home after they asked him to stop shooting because a baby was sleeping. Police said all were shot execution-style; the youngest victim was 8-years-old. #txlegehttps://abcnews.go.com/US/5-dead-texas-shooting-suspect-armed-ar-15/story?id=98957271…
I could otherwise never imagine saying this, but maybe even the parking garage lawyer would have been a better choice.
It remains stunning that such a rich man consistently has such poor legal representation. I know all the reasons. It's stunning that he is that big a jerk, too.
The so-called left has consistently delivered prosperity, with the arguable exception of the Carter Administration. Scott's faction has delivered the GFC and Covid's 70 million lost US jobs.
