Chavez: in last 3 months since your comments, MPD hasn't witnessed a single unlawful use of force against anyone in Minneapolis?
O'Hara: There is no incident where it would've been possible for an officer to intervene. If there's any incident specifically we're happy to review that.
This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC".
Goldman says he doesn't share those views.

Walz to Nancy Mace: "Minnesota ranks at the top. Where do South Carolina children rank on healthiness? I'm not here to be your prop."
I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

Even putting aside the implications for the laws of war, someone who describes mass killing in this way is not well, nor is the society that empowers that person to kill.
