There are still 3+ hours left of Throwback Thursday in DC. Doesn't have to say much else.

Pam, if you want to talk, I’m on Signal! annabower.24

Many a man has debased their scholarly reputation by attempting violence against the annals of history, profiting nothing but the praise of Samuel Alito and the prospect of a fleeting mention by the Solicitor General at the Supreme Court.

Also, because Wurman just made it up.

Turns out they don't need any of these things to actually come out of this war in a stronger position than before.

Labor Day 2027, by which point he will have suspended his campaign, can't come soon enough, though the media will probably just turn it's attention to some late entry billionaire who also isn't going to win any delegates.

There is no scenario in which a Rahm Emmanuel presidential campaign makes it to Thanksgiving 2027, let alone the Iowa caucuses. Nobody serious is "keeping a close eye" on him and your publication pretending otherwise means you aren't serious either.

as an outsider looking in, what this looks like to me is unscrupulous partisans leveraging norms of academic collegiality to do hack work, and then getting the vapors when people point out, correctly, that theirs is hack work

Guys I can tell all the criticism and hate has been pushing him close to the edge. This is really not acceptable from our community. We need to send him a lot more criticism and hate and get the job done.

Once again, AIPAC does antisemites' bidding by conflating all Jews with the Israeli government when it serves them. And anti-NRA politicians absolutely and rightfully brag that they don't take money from a corrupt, single-issue special interest.

@colorado.gov do not be a tool in their efforts to cast this as legitimate

Told ya.

John Lewis photobombs ICE from the grave.

George Mason. This is your reputation. Maybe you don't care. @georgemasonu.bsky.social

So ICE is just going to stand around polling places staring at their phones?

Reupping my hypothetical campaign pledge that if I can't get Congress to abolish ICE, I will issue an XO requiring ICE agents to wear uniforms when on duty, and the new uniforms will be hot pink with short shorts (also no guns or body armor). Also maybe glittery fringe, have to look into that

The second career in comedy is not gonna happen.

Would be the first time many of them laid hands on a book though.

Watch their coverage instantly suffer for it.

Inclined to agree here. Anything that gets these thugs off streets, masks off, and monitored by cameras is a plus. Every unqualified undervetted thug behind a luggage scanner letting contraband through because they are not trained is one less thug kidnapping or murding people in the street.

But he's not the first President help Iran grow its arsenal.

Literally, this was the point of the electotal college and we just use it so that quirks of math and not the people decide who gets to be president.

I have a legal joke. It must be about adult diapers because "Depends" is the punchline.

I mean, that's only if you don't blast through populated areas.

I think I figured it out. The extra room is for the lifts.

Vanity campaign against a solid but controversial congresswoman.

The East River!

Jared may be a failson-in-law in every other respect, but he succeeded in the one way his father-in-law coveted most of all.

Appreciate this but it's not your job to disavow someone you never supported or something he said because he happens to also be Jewish. You know if he was saying this about Jews, pretty much the whole media and AIPAC crew would be insisting politicos like Mamdani respond, which is is also offensive.

New idea for DHS funding condition. All ICE must use exclusively these vehicles, even if they have to pile in and out clown car style.

DC electeds need to make clear in no uncertain terms that when these agencies are finally reigned in, anyone who joined this administration to do its bidding in the streets will not be welcomed back to their old jobs. @janeese4dc.bsky.social @kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social wapo.st/3OW0ute

It's funny because if he were alive today he'd be cheerleading the war like Iran just did a Pearl Harbor.

The argument is apparently in the Find Out phase.

You know, not every stupid thought that pops into your head needs a column. I promise, Rahm Emanuel is a non-entity in the Democratic party and in politics generally right now.

As a bonus, if you get vaporized, the payout should be insane.

I will never understand, forget, or forgive the depravity that decided to give Donald Trump the power to kill people or decide who to let die. I can never un-know that someone did that.

No envy for Texas voters that have to choose between Crockett and Talarico today. Okay, a little envy. Fine, I'm jealous as hell that y'all got TWO candidates I'd go to the mat for.

Someone is going to pull those banners from a warehouse one day and wonder who the f was Charlie Kirk, because Charlie Kirk gave nothing to the world that was needed or enduring, save for a grift his widow and every Republican are still running off his tragic death. That won't last forever either.

They will stonewall and he will pardon, but the Democratic presidential candidate can and must promise that they will open all files and evidence to state prosecutors pursuing cases against pardoned and never-charged criminal activity by ICE/CBP agents and their leadership.

Um, let me be explicit in my contempt, since you don't realize that I don't care.

Where'd he find it, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social? The appropriations you and @schumer.senate.gov let through without a fight.

Surely you aren't suggesting Scott Jennings if @cnn.com would never mislead their audience?

Imagine not being John Fetterman and still being the biggest scumbag in the Senate representing Pennsylvania.

50 years of GOP foreign policy in a nutshell.

Well, if Scott Jennings says it, you know it must be bullshit.

Sounds like ChatGPT just hallucinated a defense target at a girls' school.

Interesting detail - Fox & Friends is hosted by the regular weekday hosts this morning not the weekend cast. How would Fox News have enough time to ask the regular cast to come in? The show starts at 6AM but they are usually there hours earlier.

@elizabeth-warren.bsky.social please consider not hitching your wagon to the disgraced racist Linda Fairstein. It's not worth whatever money you are going to raise by not doing the right thing here. You are way better than this.

Zelenskyy definitely blinked twice after issuing that statement.

MacKenzie Scott, please buy a newspaper already.
