Trump administration tells Congress war law doesn’t apply to cartel strikes A top Trump administration lawyer told Congress that the War Powers Resolution, which would require the end of hostilities within 60 days, doesn’t apply to cartel strikes.

So... The "logic" here is that these strikes aren't subject to the War Powers Act because
- These are drone strikes
- The unarmed civilians we are killing can't fight back to harm US soldiers.

Trump administration tells Congress war law doesn't apply.

Also, "Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seeds of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind."

President Trump could have spent the past year making hundreds of millions from crypto. Instead, he selflessly let his sons make hundreds of millions from crypto, limiting his own income to bribes, media shakedowns, and a free plane. Will the press acknowledge this sacrifice?

"The Diplomat" on @netflix.com is absolutely amazing. The writing is brilliant and fresh, the acting is first-rate, and the cinematography is stunning.

I'm genuinely in awe of people who can deliver complex characters and plotlines episode after episode.

Amazon and Google tip off Jensen Huang before announcing information about their homegrown AI chips — companies tread carefully to avoid surprising Nvidia, says report The quiet deference to Nvidia’s CEO reveals how much power the company still holds over AI’s most ambitious companies.

The crazy thing about all of this is that back in the late 90's, I was on a first name basis with Jensen... Wonder if he'd still take my calls?

Will Ted Cruz Go to Prison for the Lies He Told as Part of the Jim Comey Indictment? - emptywheel According to the public record, Jim Comey didn't lie in an exchange with Ted Cruz on September 30, 2020. Ted Cruz did.

Reup: Both @FBIDirectorKash and @tedcruz told bigger lies in the process of getting an indictment against Jim Comey.

Will Kash go to prison for it?

Saw "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" tonight. Excellent film. Everything from the cinematography to the soundtrack was just phenomenal.

Highly recommended!

Even assuming the administration is correct in the purpose of the boat trips, how long, I wonder, until drug traffickers kidnap innocent civilians for these transports as human shields? Seems a fairly obvious progression.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Kinda feels like many of the Middle Eastern "blasphemy laws" where criticizing the royal family or whatever is a crime...
