The apparent lesson learned from the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 is that you shouldn’t attack another country based on false premises. You should attack based on no premises at all.

To recap: we have a personalist regime doing personalist things, serving the whims of the person operating an anti-constitutional enterprise from the seat of government.

All of the lawless horrors of the moment sit downstream from that fundamental truth.

Cuban forces shoot 4 dead on U.S. speedboat, Havana says The crew of the Florida-registered vessel opened fire on Cuban border agents, the country’s Interior Ministry said. Cuban forces returned fire.

Rubio: β€œSuffice it to say, it is highly unusual to see shootouts in open sea like that. It’s not something that happens every day."

U.S. forces have attacked 42 boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since September, killing at least 143 people

1. On January 23, Crypto.com donated $5 million to MAGA Inc, Trump's primary Super PAC. (The donation was first disclosed in a FEC filing Friday night.)

Less than 1 month later, on February 17, the Trump administration intervened on Crypto.com's behalf in a high-stakes federal lawsuit.

Never has so much US combat power been assembled with so little explanation to the public, allies, or Congress regarding why or how it will be used. Never.

Opinion | What’s Really Driving These Bogus Claims of Voter Fraud

Trump’s claims about non-citizen voting are bullshit.

They are simply a pretext to undermine public confidence in the legitimacy of election outcomes, unless they align with Trump’s personal, self-serving desires.

His claims are also provably false, w/ hard data. πŸ‘‡

Elections are not SchrΓΆdinger's cat.
An election is decided when the polls close, there are not multiple possible outcomes from the counting: there is one winner.
Johnson suggesting someone is β€œahead” who later β€œlost” only serves to undermine trust in elections.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something β€œbetter.”

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

NYT article: 
β€œWhether they can work together is an open question. In keeping Ms. Tisch, the mayor has entrusted his political fate to someone whose approach to policing is at odds with many of the principles he built his career on.

It could go sideways in any number of situations. Crime could rise. Terrorism could re-emerge. Protests against Israel or immigration agents could erupt. Or β€” this is New York, after all β€” who knows what the drama could be?”

In discussing Mamdani & Tisch, the NYT shows its stripes: the civil challenge from possible widespread ICE enforcement action in NYC isn’t their lawlessness, it’s the potential for protest against it.
