This Supreme Court decision is so split it's bonkers. John Roberts didn't even join all the parts of his OWN OPINION. I predict it will not matter.

Post from the Department of State: "We do not want allies to be shackled by guilt and shame"

Post from the Department of State: "We do not want allies to be shackled by guilt and shame"

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

The worst thing about AI is how it talks like Elon Musk. chatgpt told me that jicama, salt, and lime is a "surprisingly elite combo". Shut up!!!

I learned about "rucking" a couple months ago and I honestly can't get over it. Rucking is an exercise where you walk with a backpack. except its military/tactical coded. I'm sorry but that's just... living my life??!? Since I was 8 years old???

EZRA: Now, normally this podcast is about politics. But sometimes, something in the culture just really fascinates me. I'm talking, of course, of the new NYT game, pips

I'm not sure why anyone would go to that frozen wasteland so far from culture or civilization.

Anchorage is nice though.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, theyโ€™d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administrationโ€™s story isnโ€™t adding up.

sad to say, if they pass it via bicameralism and presentment, it's a law, even if they call it a CRA resolution

Yeah like I said I think american is an just an identity about where you live (and that's good)

Identity is not the same as legal status. It's perfectly coherent to say that someone who's been here for 40 years is American even if they aren't a US citizen

there is significant contestation rn whether the status "american" is based on heritage/blood or just based on where you live. I'm not gonna concede to the volkists

NYT has a quote from a former Mexican diplomat saying that a US invasion of Mexico would have major implications for Mexico's cooperation with the US moving forward. I feel like I could have provided that quote.
