Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

So, he is admitting their violated the law?

I want to hear their rationale

Because it doesn’t - without explanation - seem to fit any of the allowed redactions

Not my fave either

And honestly, it has some problematic content

You know, as well as I can, that you can make it “good enough”

We forget that too often we make the perfect the enemy of good enough

One of the things I have appreciated of late about Twitter and Threads is you can see where an account is based

Why don’t we have it here?

The agreed to testify in an open, public session

But Comer and the GOP majority want a Star Chamber

Many Americans say the U.S. is not a moral leader but want it to be: NPR/Ipsos poll Commissioned by NPR in December in partnership with Ipsos, the share of people who believe the U.S. is a moral leader dropped to 39% from 60% in a similar poll conducted in 2017.

Whether it was intentional on the part of the Administration or not, the media is falling into a “Wag the Dog” scenario with Venezuela

Timed perfectly to take out the trash over the New Year’s holiday

Jack Smith’s testimony?

Explanation of Epstein redactions?

What’s that?

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

Your promise to prosecute rich & powerful men who were at Epstein's rape island would be more credible if you stop breaking Rep. Thomas Massie & my law.

Release the draft 60 count indictment, 82 page prosecution memo and the FBI files.

It was only today that I learned that Anthropic Claude was named after Claude the Albino Alligator at the California Academy of Sciences!

So cool!

Sadly, he recently passed.

Opinion | Trump’s Pardon for Cocaine Juan A jury found Honduras’s former President guilty. Why set him free?

Waiting to see how the MAGASphere spins this one….

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Now that Pete Hegseth is making cartoon jokes about the accusations that he gave illegal "no quarter" orders, good time to reup this:

Chris Lattner is one of the most influential engineers of the past two decades. He created LLVM, Swift, contributed to TensorFlow, and created the Mojo language.

What was the story about creating Swift - and why did he face resistance inside Apple when wanting to replace Objective C?

Another instance of mainstream media reporting on a trend I covered in @pragmaticengineer.com months before.

This time with The Financial Times, 4 months later:

Tis a perfect storm!

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Doing a rewatch of #TheWestWing

Well, the Japanese do have reverence and respect for the aged and infirmed ;)

And MAGA is going to tell me that everyone in Asia adores and respects Trump

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

GG Entering the US illegally isn't even a felony, it's a misdemeanor. Overstaying a visa isn't even a crime, it's a civil offense, like letting your car registration lapse. Conservatives out here acting like being in the US without the proper papers is equivalent to murder. Buddy it's not even equivalent to what the president was already convicted of, 34 felonies! denverprotests
