And sure, PT tests are more black and white. But we can say it’s command discretion on sending someone for a JAG review on if what they did was overly political. 3 strikes you’re out or something.

Nuke them from orbit. Liberal officers don’t do this, it’s a one sided problem. You can be quietly political outside of uniform. If you choose to be overtly and repeatedly political in uniform we can introduce you to the DD214. Like we discharge people for failing to meet PT scores….

I think about this a lot. How does the military come back from this kind of norm erosion? Increasingly you see officers empowered to shout partisan screeds from the heart of the digital town square. Tomorrow always comes, but how do we repair the professional norm and win back trust?

All glory to the Grand Jury. The thin line between autocracy and a free society, I guess.

Clausewitz is good but some people go too far into Prussian brainrot they start seeing the military as a metaphysical entity that runs off willpower and forget that without detailed planning you’ll just die of dehydration. “Haha just believe in urself :)” No Carl I still fucking need water.

Kudlow after Trump lies to him for 15 minutes straight: "You have to love President Trump's optimism. You may not agree with every number, but you have to love his optimism."

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

The Merchant's House was built by abolitionist Joseph Brewster in 1832. He is likely the person using the secret passage to help escaped slaves. But in 1835, he sold the house to the wealthy Tredwell family - who were not abolitionists - losing access to the secret tunnel. They lived there til 1933

“Historians call this passageway a masterwork of deliberate concealment, designed to be absolutely invisible to slave catchers or city marshals during the 19th-century”

NEW: The Many Humiliations of White Supremacist Jake Lang Given new felony charges in Minnesota, far-right extremist agitator Edward "Jake" Lang has faced many recent humiliations in his grifting quest for content and right-wing notoriety.

Holy shit. The prosecutor who just resigned from the D Minn in revolt against orders to investigate Renee Good after her murder is local counsel for Don Lemon now in Minnesota. Wow.

Not going to lie, this is happening faster than I predicted, and I’m glad that it is.

'Liberal zionist' covers a range of positions from liking an idea of Israel but hating its current incarnation and wanting to do everything in your power to change it, to having a vague preference that Israel allow the Palestinians a state if they all behave, and the US should let Israel choose when

I think anyone who thought Lander being a professed liberal Zionist meant he'd be worse on Palestine should really do some re-evaluating. He doesn't need to run to Goldman's left like this, he's choosing to do it.

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

My latest looks at the makeup ban in Latakia, which, together with other recent measures, points to a troubling pattern of state overreach into personal life, particularly in the regulation of women’s appearance and behaviour. en.majalla.com/node/329551/...

i'm morbidly curious to see what happens if the SAVE Act passes and then millions of Americans naively try to order a passport the week before elections only to find out it can take over a month even during normal circumstances

Anyone want to do my Hebrew homework? 😂😭

i say this as eloquently as i can: eat shit

A reminder: This was a primary to replace Sherrill through the end of the year. There's a 'regular' primary in June to fill the seat for 2027-2028, and Mejia looks like she'll draw opposition from moderates: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

Malinowski faced very heavy spending against him from AIPAC, after offering some mild criticism of Israel. In his statement, he calls AIPAC a "pro-Trump billionaire-funded organization" and pledges to oppose any candidate AIPAC may support in the upcoming June primary.

JUST IN: Tom Malinowski has conceded the #NJ11 primary to Analilia Mejia, who was the left's candidate in this crowded race. Next up: Mejia faces a general election in April.

Note that Massachusetts is by far the bluest state in which a state agency has a contract with ICE: boltsmag.org/massachusett... That, of course, is up to the governor, not the U.S. Senators, but striking to see that while Ed Markey calls for abolishing ICE.

Direct line in the NYT on Susan Collins' reelection bid: "Her frequent statements of concern and regret that follow many of President Trump’s actions have been mocked by her opponents because she has been a reliable vote for the Republican agenda during Mr. Trump’s presidencies."

A bunch of elections I'm watching tonight: —BILLIONS of dollars in school funding are at stake in local referendums in Washington state. —Oklahoma City is electing its mayor, though the GOP incumbent isn't facing much competition. Details: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Ok this I did not know. Clay Parikh, an election denier who is tied to Mike Lindell and was the "star" witness in Kari Lake's challenge to her election loss (she lost), is working for the federal government now:

The average over performance for Dems so far from 2024 is +10.5: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

There were 3 legislative specials today, all very uncompetitive seats. Final results? Per @the-downballot.com: —Virginia HD05: Dems hold by 64 in a Harris +60 seat —Virginia SD39: Dems hold by 66 in a Harris +56 seat —Oklahoma HD35: GOP holds by 28 in a Trump +58 district

The vast majority of Democratic politicians, including many who fancy themselves ICE opponents, remain deeply invested in the narrative that some immigrants are bad guys and others are good guys, and that the bad guys deserve deportation. Here's a story about what this kind of thinking can produce:

Some of these houses may well become museums.
