Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

This neatly encapsulates The Dipshit Paradox:
Any ignorance creating sufficiently damaging effects will become indistinguishable from malice. Any sufficiently damaging malice will be abetted by ignorance. We must never exonerate malice simply because it can easily be explained by stupidity.
I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

My latest on Russia assisting Iran in targeting U.S. troops and interests.
And a reminder on how Russia did this before in Afghanistan, when they offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill Americans.
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
The fact his campaign manager is not sending him there suggests to me one of two explanations:
1. They do not think he could adequately reassure Jews of his lack of antisemitism.
2. They think his base would see even speaking to Jews in a shul as inherently disqualifying, or at least as a negative.
Sure, there are a lot fewer Jews in NYC than in Maine, but that one cuts both ways: It would actually be easier to speak to a large percentage of the Jews in Maine just by going to one of the shuls in Portland.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany RodrΓguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. RodrΓguez, who was in the car with her husband β a U.S. citizen β has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, RodrΓguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and itβs unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.
Something I donβt think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. βMove fast and break thingsβ but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

And after that, the FBI wanted to focus on Trump because, well, Epstein wasnβt around to be prosecuted anymore.
Then, years later, DOJ attempted to withhold documents recording all that."
