Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C.
The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.
Trumpβs move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. Weβre far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

I donβt know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:
we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBIβd be more important to you than going to space

Crime down in every category in 2024, FBI report says
Murder, other violent crimes and motor vehicle thefts all declined in 2024, according to the latest report from the FBI.
While we're told that American cities are an urban hellscape where death awaits you around every corner, the FBI just reported that violent crime was down 4.5% in 2024 and murders decreased 14.9% year over year.
This was after murders dropped significantly in 2023.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Boveβs Confirmation Possible
Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.
Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.
