OMG RIGHT?

Sigh.

Good question from CNN. Maybe Jake Tapper could look into the memory issues more here.

Cartoon. Caption says “Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it.”

Argentine President Javier Milei suffered another setback as an ally dropped off the top of his party’s ticket just three weeks before a midterm election amid corruption allegations that threatened to sap support for the market-friendly leader in the crucial vote. Jose Luis Espert announced his resignation as a candidate for Milei’s libertarian party in Buenos Aires province on Sunday. Until now, Espert had refused to drop out after a political rival surfaced documents showing he received a $200,000 payment in 2020 from a man indicted by the US Justice Department in 2021 for drug trafficking and other crimes.

Last month I went down a fun little rabbit hole tracking how Hemingway’s attempts to evade and mock literary censors in the ‘40s started a chain of events that led to a character on AppleTV’s FOUNDATION series in 2025 using “unprintable” as a curse word…

Without explaining why, the US Supreme Court has declined to take Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, which would have definitely drawn renewed attention to the Epstein files that the Trump’s administration is trying to downplay and keep out of the spotlight.

Ordering state police to have a confrontation with federal agents or the military — while it might “feel” satisfying to some — is a recipe for disaster, one in which someone will get hurt, and provide the exact pretext they are looking for to…do something worse. Pritzker is right here, sorry

Someone should ask why she quoted the exact word the judge used to describe the judge and does she know the difference between her spokesperson opinion and a judicial opinion? Better yet ask Bondi in the oversight hearing.

How Far Does Trump’s Immunity Go? The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision threatens the system of international justice.

The Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling in Trump v. United States—an immunity case about a former president’s liability for actions relating to official conduct—could have potentially far-reaching ramifications for international justice, Philippe Sands argues.

Confirming details is the kind of journalism that I miss.

How about asking Bondi about this in Oversight—does she coordinate with WH counsel?

I don't get these fuckwads. ONLY Nancy Pelosi could call up the National Guard on Jan 6, but, the President can call up the National Guard wherever he wants, whenever he wants?

How about some of our press start asking about this?

132. The Federalization Order from defendant Hegseth neither cited nor attached any order from the President invoking Section 12406, as required by law. 133. On October 5, General Boyd of the Illinois National Guard learned of and received another memorandum, purporting to invoke Section 12406 to federalize national guard troops from the State of Texas into Illinois and Oregon (“the Texas Mobilization Order”). The Texas Mobilization Order was an undated memorandum from defendant Hegseth that, similar to that issued the prior weekend in Oregon, referenced the June 7 Presidential memorandum that had been used as support for the federalization of California’s National Guard months prior.

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car

Yet they say immigrants are the threat.

Protesters are the threat.

We know better.

Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

The Goldwater Rule does not rule out one or all psychiatrists calling for the replacement of a government official. It only restricts them offering a official diagnosis as the basis for why doing so would be advisable.

My father served in the National Guard, so I'm aware that >40% are parents. If he’d been sent to “police” Portland or Chicago, my brothers and I would have been confused and heartbroken. If "pro-family" means anything, it isn't deploying parents for a GI Joe fantasy, w kids as collateral damage.

Exposure to mining fossil fuel linked to ALS, new research finds A major pollutant from fossil fuels has been linked to an increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to new research.

Well, thank God we abandoned burning coal because of the climate crisis and shifted to renewable energy.

Oh, wait. 😟

dont let nobody who aint been in yo shoes tell you how to tie yo laces

I know a workaround when I see one (I have a teenager!). The president can’t just keep trying to be creative to get what he wants. It doesn’t work with me as a dad, and it won’t work with me as Attorney General. There’s no place for the U.S. military in our cities.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.
