Could Democrat Shawn Harris replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia?

Democrats are drumming up enthusiasm for their long-shot candidate in Republican former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's old Georgia district while their party is building nationwide momentum. Farmer and retired Army Gen. Shawn Harris believes he can win over voters upset with President Donald Trump. It's Harris' second time running for the U.S. House. Harris is facing Republican candidate Clay Fuller, a district attorney. The runoff is on April 7. Early voting begins on Monday. The special election is being held because Greene resigned in January after a falling-out with the Republican president.

#IDF admits to posting a fake image of a Lebanese journalist killed in a strike. The IDF's official English X account posted an edited photo of Al Manar journalist Ali Hassan Shoeib, claiming he was a #Hezbollah terrorist.

[…] "It's fabricated evidence of combatant status applied to a real person, published on an official military platform to justify a killing. It is rationalisation of violence through deception,"

Hezbollah and the Lebanese President have condemned the attack as a war crime and a violation of international law protecting journalists.

Stuck 4 hours at the train station yesterday, so I drew this entire world freehand with just a ballpoint pen. No pre-sketch, no plan, the story just appeared.

Ah. I knew Andy Weir gave me the ick, even if I didn't know why.

Andy Weir, author of the books Project Hail Mary & The Martian (now major Hollywood blockbusters!) just did an interview with The Critical Drinker on YouTube.

Drinker is a loudly misogynistic, queerphobic, & racist "anti-woke' movie commentator.

Yeah, I'll be skipping anything associated with Andy Weir from here on out.

The 'hang Mike Pence' brigade has their sights on ousting Lindsey Graham and I am enjoying every feck'n minute of it. I've waited decades for this.

edit: There's too many articles to pick one prized piece of fruit. A search of "Lindsey Graham MAGA revolt" should bring up a beautiful fruit basket of stories from a variety of sources.

"Trump’s brazen allegiance to the Axis of Autocracy is now playing out – to America’s detriment – in his disastrous war against Iran. Russia, by all accounts, is supplying extensive aid to Iran, providing real-time targeting information about the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft."

Trump’s America and the Axis of Autocracy

The ties that bind Hungary, Russia, European neo-Nazis – and MAGA

"According to Ukraine, Russia took satellite photos of a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia just days before Iran struck the base, wounding multiple U.S. service members and destroying a crucial surveillance aircraft. Western intelligence sources indicate that Russia is supplying the Iranian regime with sophisticated drones."
