Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.

Tom Nichols: Chanting USA is not actually a strategy. How do we know when we're done? Three Americans are dead, 48 Iranian leaders and a lot of other Iranians are dead. We need something more than a midnight video from a guy in a hat telling us everything's going to be awesome.

3) Try not to fall behind (We assign weekly homework for a reason.) 4) Go to your instructor's office hours. We're there to help. (This should probably be higher in the list.) 5) It's very unlikely you'll be able to do extra credit work to make up for work you have missed or did poorly on.

As someone who has taught many first-year physics classes over the last 32+ years I tell students to 1) go to class (it can be very tempting to skip class if you're not required to go) 2) do your homework by yourself as much as possible (study groups can be valuable, but don't just copy...)

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US.

His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism.
And he failed.

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal β€” it's being seen as too weak Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats β€” and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

this is good. underrated problem with popularism: it is--openly and explicitly--a pathetic, wimpy school of thought www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

I tried to discern how you vote in the GOP Senate primary. Do you pick the 74 year-old, the adulterer who avoided conviction because of bribery, or the congressman who is only claimed to fame is again how much he kisses Trump’s ass?

My wife still votes in the GOP primary mostly devote against their ridiculous propositions. There are no β€œgood Republicans” left to choose in their primaries. It’s all trolls and contestants on who can say they kiss Trump’s ass more.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

@houstonchronicle.com I saw your posts about your shiny new printing press. So when do you actually do your production run if Wednesday’s paper has a preview story on the state of the union address that was done before 10 PM local time?
