My decision – Alex Vindman
Hi – my name is Alex Vindman, and I have made the decision to run for the United States Senate in Florida.
Over two decades ago, I swore an oath to protect this country when I joined the U.S. Army.
I honored that oath in 2019 by blowing the whistle on Donald Trump’s corrupt phone call with Ukraine -- an act that led to Trump’s first impeachment and cost me my military career.
People told me to keep my head down. But my family came here as …

Series D, Episode 09 - Sand
SOOLIN: All right Avon, you've told us your theory. It wasn't a plague on Virn; it was the sand feeding off human energy. Does that mean we reckon Tarrant is dead?
AVON: Not necessarily. According to Orac's earlier information there's probably a woman down there. It's just possible that Tarrant was stronger and fitter than the three men in the Federation patrol, in which case he may have been kept alive, as Keller was kept alive, a…

The first recommendation I am making is somewhat niche but very relevant in my case. Many people know of Adobe for Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, etc. But a lot of people use Adobe Audition as their DAW.
I personally use Linux (separate thread coming about that later) and would like to recommend @…. It's flexible, powerful, has support for many differen…

Trump kept up his hard-edge attacks on immigrants -- lines that got the loudest cheers of the night.
At one point, he raised the specter of immigrants who may
“blow up our shopping centers, blow up our farms, kill people.”
❌He also falsely portrayed the vast majority of those detained by ICE in Minnesota and elsewhere as hardened criminals -- asserting that once those people were removed, crime would be nearly eliminated.
On Capitol Hill Tuesday, 🔥the top three House…

When Trump began his second term, conventional wisdom held that the resistance was moribund.
If that was ever true, it’s certainly not anymore.
This year has seen some of the largest street protests in American history.
Amanda Litman, a founder of Run for Something, a group that trains young progressives to seek local office, told me that since the 2024 election, it has seen more sign-ups than in all of Trump’s first four years.
Just this month, the Republican-domi…
