If you have to show ID to ICE agents to get on a plane, then why shouldn’t you have to show ID to ICE agents to vote?

Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

@jbf1755.bsky.social Read Freeman's work re: dualing and senate confirmation

How many more American soldiers and Iranian civilians need to die before Democrats will drop their Epstein inquiry?

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

I wonder whether we should just skip ahead to the stage where Trump pardons Maduro in exchange for political cooperation.

Next week on CBS with Bari: Women. Are they the problem?

@cafedotcom.bsky.social GOAT pod with Giridharadas. I wonder if others agree.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

President Trump could have spent the past year making hundreds of millions from crypto. Instead, he selflessly let his sons make hundreds of millions from crypto, limiting his own income to bribes, media shakedowns, and a free plane. Will the press acknowledge this sacrifice? by Hugh Hewitt

Upcoming Roberts Court ruling: "Not only does originalism support that the US Constitution doesn't fully protect non-white people, we find ample case law this has been the norm through most of the republic. Further, we doubt Amendment 14 would have been ratified without coercion."

We wanted to understand the legal justification for the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. So we talked to three unvaccinated crypto investors at Long John Silver's in Scranton.

Homan Nature Border boy Tom Homan took a bribe from a PYT in the FBI. But this smooth criminal gets to stay while every migrant workin’ day and night has to beat it. Who's bad? by Maureen Dowd

BREAKING: The @wsj.com is reporting that the ANTI-ICE slogan written on the shooter’s bullets is an acronym for All Neat Transgenders Intend to Incite Communism Everywhere

Charlie Kirk’s killer must face justice, but calling for the death penalty goes too far. The man isn’t homeless. by Brian Kilmeade

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

This Day in Labor History: September 10, 1897. Luzerne County sheriff deputies slaughtered 19 unarmed immigrant coal miners striking outside of Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Let's talk about the Lattimer Massacre, one of the many uses of state violence against striking workers!

We interrupt prayer for Kirk to pray for 2 school children a few towns over and do absolutely nothing about guns

Whether it’s Trump and Netanyahu refusing to feed starving Gazans or a farmers market vendor refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz a pierogi, both sides are guilty of withholding food from hungry people.

Viva la Pedo or Jeff and All His Friends Trump said his break with Epstein was the most conscious uncoupling since Gwyneth and Chris, even if the papers just caught them on the kiss cam. The Democrats should probably hit him with a cold play, but don't panic: they're all yellow. by Maureen Dowd

Just for old times sake, right before the release of any more Epstein files, can we have Bill Barr hold a news conference to let us know that they totally exonerate Trump?

The public-facing thing I'm most proud of is this segment "The Professor Is In" in which @anacabrera.bsky.social and I step back from the news cycle to teach the economics you need to know. This week: Central Bank Independence. What is it and why does it matter? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVu...

@vermontgmg.bsky.social great interview on @dailybeanspod.com, I'm going to relisten to the segment. There's a lot important insights to review

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social NYT Oped:

I tried to get through the Scott’s Tots episode of The Office, and nope, still can’t sit through it. It’s too terrible.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.
