I'm imagining the Republican response if a Democrat implemented mandatory testosterone tests for the troops

HASSAN: If the president instructs you to break the law, will you follow the president's instruction? SCHWARTZ: The president would never ask me to not follow the law HASSAN: There are multiple examples of the president instructing people to break the law, so it's not a satisfactory response

BOOKER: Were you involved in Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer for a minimum security orison camp? BLANCHE: We learned she was received threats BOOKER: When people are under threats in the Bureau of Prisons facility, they are not moved to a camp

Well, that lasted all of 12 hours.

Wurman goes full white nationalist in this post. He's also badly wrong. Assimilation in the United States today is arguably HIGHER than in the past; immigrants are more likely to be educated and more likely to speak English than at any point in the last century.

Wurman: The English didn’t *demand* assimilation in 1215 but *needed* it for 800 years for liberalism to work. Then, responding to @jdmortenson.bsky.social, Ilan goes ethnonationalist, talking about “importing millions of people [babies]” who are unfit for liberal democracy. How’s that better?

New: Members of the "Broadview 6" cite Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros' offer to Judge Perry to "come back and explain," and they suggest he join in their request for a hearing to get to the bottom of alleged misconduct in their case. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/76/d7/92ece2...

WE ARE NOT THAT INTO YOU

Trump highlighting Lindsey Graham's most craven moment. When they hold the funeral, maybe they'll string up Graham's body and let the president take a few swings at it like a piñata.

Is it unusual for an incoming law school dean to be banned from federal court for a year? Asking for a friend (Florida International University) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Reworked my discussion of birthright citizenship in the conclusion of my Anglo-American historical constitutional paper. I think this speaks to the heart of things.

The way the Iranian government just keeps repeatedly outmaneuvering President Dealz is comical

Did somebody say "senator suddenly dies"

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

Counterpoint:

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Just like on 9/11 when Trump immediately talked about his building being "higher" now that WTC had been destroyed. Trump always makes it immediately about Trump.

Maybe we should remember Lindsey Graham the way Fox News is remembering him this morning. For his rabid defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. Never forget: Graham’s speech helped push Kavanaugh across the finish line and onto the Supreme Court.

I certainly appreciate his death more than his life.

Oh this is beautiful.

Such a strange weekend for crackers named Graham running for Senate

And nothing of value was lost

LMAO oh for fucks sake

What it lacks in defensive countermeasures it makes up for with new and exciting vulnerabilities in cybersecurity and SIGINT

Hello I’m Doctor Alan Grant, welcome to my spaceship. Don’t worry about the room with spikes everywhere and the portal to hell. I built that. It’s fine.

OH EM EFFING GEE

I cannot stress to you how fucking funny tonight's episode is.

imagine fucking up this bad

First pass on today's hearing: Judge finds Chicago's embattled U.S. attorney violated secrecy order in Tren de Aragua case but orders no sanction From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...

Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros explained to a judge on Wednesday that he didn't mean to violate one of her orders. He wrote, "there is no need for a further hearing." U.S. Magistrate Judge Laura McNally apparently disagreed. Boutros is due in court at 10: chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

Glad the rapey Nazi is finally dropping out, Angry that it took so long for so-called leaders to withdraw their endorsements, Elated that his stupid facial hair will no longer be forced into my eyes repeatedly

The red flags weren’t hidden. They were public. The timeline isn’t about one bad decision. It’s about how warning after warning was ignored until it became politically impossible to look away.

Jimmy Carter had to put his family farm in a blind trust for fucks sake

Ballsy AF I love it

I wrote about the irony of Platner and his campaign trying to convince journalists, commentators and voters that they had outsmarted the trappings of traditional masculinity, only to come crashing down as a result of it:

BREAKING NEWS: Man who is famously wrong about everything refuses to admit he was wrong.

an LLM is not credible if it doesn't know that Alex Jones has died from some kind of bizarre head explosion alone in the drivers seat of his parked van

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Here's a document composed for Crown officials in 1626 that explains who constituted a natural-born subject, specifically whether children of aliens born in England were natural-born subjects. First, the common law is said to be their "birthright" and, thus, they should be treated as Englishmen.
