This is an illegitimate court whose rulings no one should be taking seriously.

Axios: Trump refused to sell NATO countries Tomahawk cruise missiles for further transfer to Ukraine.

Scott Jennings getting bitch slapped on CNN right now.

Winnipeg drivers are awful.

The National Post's comment section is having another normal one...

That Trump would send this man to represent him in Canada is neither surprising nor very consequential. While our government must respect his office, private groups have no obligation to give him a platform so that he can pour scorn on Canadians. globalnews.ca/news/1145250...

Right. On. Cue.

Kyle wins today.

Another day, another conservative narrative about universities that is all about faculty voting patterns and not at all about state suppression of academic freedom, or active institutional disfavoring of pro-Palestinian speech, or... www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/c...

Oh FFS

If we want to pay for it. Hint: We don't.

Is there a law somewhere saying only old British dudes are allowed to redraw Middle East maps or why the heck is Tony Blair involved in this? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ethnic cleanser gonna ethnically cleanse.

Rather ominous snipe from SecDef in response to a concerned observation by the former Commander General of the US Army Europe about the upcoming meeting of all the US military commanders ordered by SecDef:

What. Jacob. Said.

They should have done the same for Trump.

In this post @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social & I trace how the Starmer Government's repeatedly misconstrues its obligations under the Genocide Convention in #Gaza, hiding behind a Court judgement that is years away with a position that we call "legally illiterate" and "morally indefensible".

Only 3 months until Christmas

It's called the "Wounded Knee Massacre," you monster. Even the stacked DoD panel that recommended against revoking the medals used its proper name. You are honoring those who committed the massacre of unarmed men, women and children while whitewashing history.

Remove R.F. Mengele Jr. as quickly as possible.

But don't call them Nazis.

Cardinals?

Being led to believe Ross Douthat wrote something stupid. #evergreen

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

I am sure that taking away pre-clearance for Canadians flying to the US will do WONDERS for the 25% drop in tourism. So much genius at work here. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just expel him and get it over with for God's sake

Occasional reminder that Trump hates American Indians even more than he hates immigrants (though arguably less than he hates Black Americans).

SecDef is an all seasons war crimes appreciator. Unfortunately, that is now a fact that must be accounted for in considering the lawfulness of current US military operations.

Paul Wells excels at eviscerating people with their own words. In this case, it's how the entire Conservative caucus beclowned itself in debate on Wednesday.

I'll believe this when I see it.

It wasn't a revolution it was a succession and you wish you had our form of government.

It's going to come to this:

In this politics issue, we wanted you to see what we saw: Tech leaders got what they wanted—a seat at the table with a would-be king, and a chance to haggle over the rules that govern their businesses. But remember: It’s your future that they just might gamble away. 🧵 of stories so far:

Colombian president criticizes US strikes on drug traffickers, arguing they violate principle of proportionality. Calls the strikes “murder,” and threatens criminal proceedings if Colombians were hurt. #UseOfForce #ArmedConflict bbc.com/news/article...

Huh?

Seems like an insult to donkey shit.

Can you prosecute James Comey?

For the late/west coast crowd, my latest episode where @emmettmacfarlane.com and I break down that federal factum to the Supreme Court on the Notwithstanding Clause that is causing so many meltdowns #cdnpoli

Yankees!

So two things: 1) Maybe Bessent should Google about the one time NATO’s Article V was actually invoked; 2) I’d be happy to spring for a “Alliances: How Do They Work?” tutorial for Bessent.

One interesting question is how many states have universal jurisdiction over murder on the high seas. apnews.com/article/vene...
