Very few things are as appropriate as WSJ and other right wing outlets getting sued for covering the Trump administration accurately.

Trump met with again with his national security team at the White House on Monday to discuss options moving forward. Sources familiar with the talks say a major decision on how to proceed is unlikely to be made prior to the president’s departure to China, which is slated for Tuesday afternoon.-CNN

Once you've been Red State'd you are legit. (I've had the joy a few times when Stockdale Chair)

Everything is so incredibly stupid.

He’s describing his presidency, not the White House.

Is this a male thing?

The president of these United States has difficulty reading and thinking at a very basic level and displays that flaw in public nearly every single day.

But why do you hate waffles Faine?

It fascinates me how some people on social media nowadays actively seem to be weirded out when you attempt to actively interact with them, or to reply to their posts - as if they assume it’s a broadcast-first medium.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

While we wait for the Seahawks schedule to come out on Thursday, let's kill some time with a mailbag. You know the drill, send me your Seahawks/random questions, I'll answer on Seahawks.com.

2024 HUD survey found ~”260k ppl in families w/children experiencing homelessness—a jump of 50%+ since b4 the pandemic… ‘There’s this huge amount of instability that exists for children in this country that goes unrecognized…Pretty much the only point of true stability they have is their school’”🛟🧪

DoD, this means you.

DoD and/or MILGP not consulted, not involved - we can't even see the MOUs because "they're signed with our partner governments" and State has to check with those govs how freely they can been distributed! State is keeping secrets from DoD now lol!

And here's a short @goodauth.bsky.social post on the episode. goodauthority.org/news/can-us-...

📣🎧It's been a tough year for civil-military relations, and the Iran War might make it even tougher. The @chalkboardpolitics.bsky.social team interviewed Peter Feaver to discuss. Find all episodes in the @goodauth.bsky.social podcast feed.

China fields a military where 70-80% of soldiers are only children. Every battlefield death risks extinguishing a family line. This demographic reality shapes Xi's strategic calculus in ways Western analysis should pay more attention to. mickryan.substack.com/p/one-child-...

Guys, I’m so sorry. Between whatever this head cold is and a half-decade of Aaron Rodgers drama, I just can’t bring myself to make sense of why the Steelers keep putting themselves through this. My heart goes out to Yinzers. There’s neither enough Scotch nor cold medicine on the planet for this

*Gasp* But I was told by Sam Alito that intentional racial discrimination against Black voters remained illegal?!?!?!

You need to read this horrifying and astonishing account of the genocidal murders in El Fasher in October 2025. These killings could have been stopped: unfortunately, the world did nothing and actively looked away.

Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. When we said that immigrants were taking your jobs, it's because we were lying that there's a fixed pool of jobs. You rubes fell for the lump of labor fallacy.

BREAKING: SCOTUS acts immediately on Alabama redistricting, vacating earlier decisions blocking the 2023 map and sending cases back to the district court — over the objection of Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Still getting a frigate and the freed-up shipyard space from the Connie is going to the LSM instead, not this.

We cancelled a ship design we needed, the replacement for the Burke class guided missile destroyers, just to flatter one man’s ego. It will set us back a decade at least, time we don’t have. But by then everyone who went along with this will have retired, so what can you do?

Buckle up, folks. This likely means they expect prices to get much worse. Also: it would add an estimated $2.5 billion to the national debt every month.

Fascinating read from Paul Saunders on the mysterious recruiters for shadowy "geopolitical risk analysis" firms ... spycraft meeting social media ... paulsaunders559.substack.com/p/has-foreig...

On the latest episode of the @holocaustpod.bsky.social, I talked with Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe's really important book on the role of Polish mayors under Nazi occupation. It has generated some very...emotional responses so it was great to read it and hear about it from the author.

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

Cripes. I'm now starting to see "AI artist" accounts on both Bsky and Mastodon. 🛑 INSTABLOCK 🛑 Do not forward their slop! Block them.

right, but… activism *is* performative because language is a form of social action that can bring about change in itself. this motion means exactly the opposite of what you think it means.

It will buy zero and it knows this.

It's warm. Why. Its May.

I love my kids, I wanted two and I had two, but istfg these unrepentantly dumb motherfuckers are actively resisting understanding why people aren’t having 2.4 kids these days. Gas just to drive them around is unbearable! Housing, food, clothes, consistent effort, presence - all hard to wrangle rn.

#AcademicSky Teaching evaluation: "Having office hours...would be beneficial to get clarification on content and to ask questions." Syllabus (p.1): "Office hours Wednesdays 3:00-3:50pm" Me:

Humanities chairs—anxious about increasing political interference, declining enrollments and students’ skepticism toward the value of humanities degrees—are largely pessimistic about the future of their departments, according to a new report from the AAAS. #AcademicSky #EduSky 👉🏻 @insidehighered.com

It’s no longer enough that women have to worry they’ll die of sepsis while surrounded by doctors that can’t legally treat them, or that they’ll be arrested for how they dispose of their miscarriages. Now the government is using family separation as an anti-abortion weapon.

Trump frustrated the Cuban government hasn’t crumbled yet. Trump disappointed Iran hasn’t folded. Trump confused why Minnesota, especially white Minnesotans, didn’t greet ICE as liberators. A neverending string of surprise that other people exist, have interests, and don’t bow down when bullied.

NEW: In a major win for Montana voters, a court blocked a voter suppression law that would've cut off Election Day registration for federal elections at noon. The pro-voting plaintiffs argued the law would create needless confusion and block voters from casting ballots ahead of the midterms.

Not all problems are caused by personal choices.

Most of the critique here is rather good, but the “what’s next?” is almost entirely absent. What does “a Goldwater-Nichols 2.0” actually mean? “Just be better” isn’t particularly interesting, and slamming publicly traded companies for stockholder management is just Trump era command economics.

Hegseth says they’re protecting history by restoring Confederate names to military bases. But the same administration has taken down a National Park Service exhibit about slavery. They are choosing which history gets honored and which gets erased. zurl.co/bky8I zurl.co/5NLjy
