this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

At least once a week he says something that - if he were a D - would be a thermonuclear news story. It would consume the news cycle through impeachment and conviction, become the primary event by which their presidency was known, and a full paragraph in their obituary.

i’ll add that what substantively seems to annoy silver is the existence of people with principles

“I’ve been thinking we should update the kitchen cabinets” okay that’s cool but the house is on fire

I like vince gilligan shows because I didn't know what the darien gap was and I got to learn about it in a fun and horrifying way

Dems in disarray

Additionally, the Board held that "if there is no final order of removal that can be executed, the DHS has no authority to remove an alien to such an alternative country." Which would seem to me to be the whole ball game here.

Putting Elon Musk on the cover of a magazine for anything other than “his illegal government funding cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children” is propaganda

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

Tech companies arguably have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to be the first to develop a convincing robotic Fred Trump that can give him the most realistic simulation of a hug.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Amazing 3-D effect in this JWST image of the tip of HH 49/50. The dusty tip of this nearby "cosmic tornado" is so thin that it allows a more distant spiral galaxy to shine through (science.nasa.gov/asset/webb/h...) More info in this Sci-Am story: www.scientificamerican.com/article/cosm...

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

ending your resignation letter with “you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl” should be considered an actionable true threat.

Now up on @lawfaremedia.org: @nkorpett.bsky.social and I on the lingering legal problems still surrounding the second strike on alleged drug smugglers that killed 2 survivors, and how it reflects legal problems with the broader military campaign. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

FWIW DOJ still has not appealed the ruling disqualifying Halligan, nor have they appealed the Third Circuit ruling disqualifying Alina Habba on similar grounds (and nor did they respond to my request for comment about whether they plan to appeal)

That feminist advances, especially women being allowed to have careers similar to men, have raised the bar for what constitutes a Good Man is both undoubtedly true and pretty much what a lot of the right wing trad / manosphere also recognizes. They just think it's bad.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

This is where originalism is really spiritually aligned with straussianism—you, the clever contemporary scholar, are capable of uncovering the true hidden meaning that for centuries has eluded all those other chumps

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Almost a single issue voter on this. How they want to tax and spend can be anywhere from Romney to Mamdani. Whoever most credibly pledges to restore the rule of law and permit it to exact righteous consequences on those who have transgressed it gets my vote.

There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video. They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.

!!! The Post obtained hot mic comments by the chair of RFK Jr.'s CDC vaccine committee. "We feel like a little bit like puppets on a string as opposed to really being an independent advisory panel" wapo.st/4atob4M

the runner-up must be so disappointed 😞

Trump keeps picking unqualified lawyers to act as top prosecutors in his revenge campaign. Increasingly, judges are ruling this scheme illegal.

By all means, shit on SCOTUS for whichever of the various excellent reasons there are to do so. But no dooming.

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

12 former commissioners of the FDA came together to write a Perspectives piece for the New England Journal of Medicine; raising our concerns about recent changes to vaccine approval policy at the FDA and its implications for patients and public health.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Lol this fuckin fascist is sooooo uncomfortable and she is soooo stupid

The peak was the Jonathan Swan HBO interview, but it remains the case that the single most devastating technique for reporting on Trump is to simply pretend like you don't know who he is personally and treat it as interesting and novel when he says bizarre things.

Would go a bit further and insist on retro-actively removing the masks. Names, faces, where they were deployed, on some kind of accessible public record. It is vitally important that if this ever happens again, people understand that the masks they put on only temporarily conceal their faces.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

ATL is teeming with these and the idea they are bogarting the sidewalk is silly. *Extremely* deferential, yet to experience the mildest inconvenience. Also: architecting cities to be fully navigable by boxes w no ground clearance has amazing positive externalities for walkability and accessibility.

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

This was always the most absurd implication of the immunity decision: the pardon power is enumerated in the constitution, and therefore in the most protected "bucket" of executive orders. SCOTUS has to write themselves out of this absurd conclusion, or we have no choice but to remove those judges.

I second the motion to adopt this term.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies: If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

This is the type of hater energy that will fuel us in the years ahead.

After Trump called for them to be executed, the FBI is now said to be investigating six members of Congress for reminding military service members that they should not obey illegal orders. It is not at all clear what law they supposedly violated @gregjaffe.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

“I just had to ask: If there’s no worm, does the early bird go hungry? Meanwhile, across town, Samantha was dealing with a different sort of worm of her own.”

But they also said that Trump is facing far, far more public opposition today than the government ever saw during the McCarthy era. American civil society is weaker than many had hoped, but it's also stronger than it once was. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
