Seems odd to care about the version of something they're just going to continue ignoring

Soldiers, Marines, FBI, local police, county sheriffs, state police, and even unarmed prosecutors and judges don't hide behind masks. Armed men who won't show their face are cowards.

Is Mike Johnson using Hegseth's makeup studio?

I'm puzzled as to why we aren't seeing these warning signs reflected in stock market.

Hegseth's hubris in thinking he's qualified to lecture general/flag officers is breathtaking.

If anything, he lost respect. These aren't stupid people.

These generals and admirals know the small, foolish men pontificating/lecturing them today have no respect for the rule of law or Constitution they swore to defend.

Please tell me Kenvue is suing.

One wonders if the moral collapse on display this AM could have been avoided had more white Evangelicals been willing to listen, with open mind and heart, to their Black coreligionists over the past 70 years.

Am I the only pedantic soul bothered by the headline's split infinitive?

Good God ... this is insanity.

This.

Honest question: How far do we let this authoritarianism go before we shut the country down with nonviolent action (protests, strikes, boycotts)?

We've faced down depraved men who enjoy harming the powerless they've dehumanized before. The "soft sons of democracy" beat the Confederacy and Third Reich. This clown car kakistocracy will lose if those who cherish democracy, liberty, and justice for all will summon the courage to resist.

Robert E. Lee killed more U.S. troops in battle than Adolph Hitler and Osama bin Laden combined

Americans do not long suffer men who would be king.

Don't like the weak job numbers? Find someone who'll lie about them for you, making them worthless going forward. This is how fools operate, surrounding themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear instead of the facts they need for informed decision-making.

The current leader who best epitomizes the spirit of the Declaration of Independence is Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

KC protest today. I'd estimate several thousands. Didn't see a single police officer; there was no need.

Major new study: gun deaths of children have gone up in States with loosened gun laws but have NOT gone up in States that didn't loosen gun laws.

Trump cares deeply about law and order. Ask the 140 police officers injured by Jan 6 rioters, whom Trump pardoned en masse.

Conservative, evangelical David French: "The spectacle of citizens taking joy in the pain of their fellow citizens ... legitimately taking *joy* in the suffering of others ... is much greater than I thought it was" (re: what he's learned about the US in Trump's first 100 days; NYT video).

My impression from colleagues in Belgium earlier this month: academics in Europe are already very aware of goings-on in US, including risk of traveling here.

We're plumbing the depths of lawlessness when a convicted felon who received no punishment for his crimes can imprison a man by mistake, in a foreign country, without charge or trial, and refuse to secure his release, despite being told to facilitate his return by a unanimous Supreme Court.

The man who pardoned those convicted of assaulting and injuring 140 police officers on Jan 6 can't expect me to be outraged over Tesla dealerships being vandalized.
