When President AOC federalizes the National Guard in 2029 to protect abortion clinics, Ilan is going to magically discover an English treatise written in 1610 that proves Matthew Kacsmaryk can issue a nationwide injunction against her.

The president is trying to deploy military force against American citizens based on deranged fantasies bsky.app/profile/acyn...

The “America has always been fascist” line of thinking is not only wrong on the merits, it is exactly what Stephen Miller wants you to think

Rortvedt going from “random deadline acquisition” to “accidentally important at work” is my favorite Dodgers subplot this season

I’m pretty tired of hearing about protecting/defending “our culture” from immigrant Boers and a guy who started believing in some Appalachian volk because he came from a broken family. They should assimilate into our Yankee way of life.

The great irony here is that Vance’s entire identity is built around a rejection of WASPs and their social/cultural values, upon which our entire political system is based. He is the problem that he is trying to solve.

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives — reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al.

"Being able to do that, knowing how good of a team they are and knowing the history with the two organizations, it's huge," running back Kyren Williams said, via the Los Angeles Times. "And it shows that we're the big brothers now."

Stuffed on 4th and 1 *twice* when you could’ve won it all, who’s the little brother now buddy

This is a 0-5 team without Robert Saleh. They should make him the first coordinator to win Coach of the Year at this rate.

Thank you

This might be the greatest 49ers victory over the Rams in the rivalry’s history? I can’t think of a better one.

I know it sounds like pure trash talk from a Dodgers fan but it’s a recurring problem with this roster, IMO. They faded away like this when we punched back in the NLDS last year too. Not a mentally tough team.

They sure aren’t running like it!

The Padres know this is an elimination game, right?

EA already has a fairly negative reputation among consumers in a crowded industry and is heavily dependent on outside licenses for its AAA titles. Hard to imagine a company that’s more poorly positioned for a pivot to AI slop.

DOJ fires top national security prosecutor after he’s questionably linked to Comey pushback Prosecutors with ties to former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco have been targeted after President Donald Trump called for Microsoft to “immediately terminate” her.

On top off all the NatSec brain drain at DOJ through departures and firings since Trump returned, the Justice Department’s top counterterrorism prosecutor has been out of pocket, patrolling the streets of DC as a National Guardsman because “Big Balls” got assaulted.

Pentagon wants out of the grocery business, asks industry for proposals The move to privatize the military’s commissaries could lead to changes at 178 stores in the U.S., including 3 in San Antonio and 10 other Texas sites.

“In addition to commercial grocers, [the Pentagon] is also reaching out to investment firms.”

In 1965, the Dodgers had a big lead in the National League. It was announced that Oct. 6 would be game 1 of the World Series. Oct. 6 was Yom Kippur. They asked Koufax what he would do. He said, “I’m praying for rain.” He also said he would consult a Rabbi. He never did. Koufax told a Rabbi: ‘I’m Jewish. I’m a role model. I want them to understand they have to have pride.” Thousands of Jews said they saw Koufax at various synagogues in Minneapolis. In fact, he never left his hotel room. Don Drysdale, a Hall of Famer, pitched Game 1. He got bombed, giving up 7 runs. When the manager went out to pull him, he said, “Don’t you wish I was Jewish too?”
