I wrote about the $200 billion the Pentagon is asking for to fight the Iran War, a figure that tells you more about the conflict than anything anyone in the administration has said about it since it began three weeks ago

This Is How Forever Wars Begin
First, with lies and bombs. Then, with a request for hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars. Will Congress cave to the White House yet again?

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

Excellent analysis that disarms the GOP talking point about lower-income people not paying income tax. Plus, suggestions for sensible policy alternatives.

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops". My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops

Part of Trumpâs mass appeal (and of why heâs so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstoolâs worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

The wealthy and powerful have always and will always try to weaken and eliminate the arts. Our rebellion is to make art anyway. Enjoy art anyway. Attend the theater. Laugh with comedians. Read books. Go to concerts. Watch movies. Enrich ourselves with diverse ideas. Relish art.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Not much talked about from Trumpâs text: âI no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace ⊠but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.â Is he saying that he previously did NOT think about whatâs good for America?

I think it's worth pointing out that part of why the twin cities has a large Hmong population is because of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war. They sided with the US.

Vance: âYou have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and stepped on the accelerator. Nobody debates that.â Thatâs EXACTLY what everyone is debating, as he's well aware. They lie about everything not to convince anyone but to create an environment in which truth seems unknowable.
