It’s pretty fair to say a leader that deploys troops to an area against the will of the populace is committing an acto of war.

Justice Clarence Thomas says legal precedents are not 'the gospel' Justice Clarence Thomas says the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent. It is not "the gospel," he says.

Thomas is telegraphing exactly what the Court plans to inflict on the people this coming term, and he can barely conceal his glee.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the FΓΌhrer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway.

A good, not great, lake: Lake Champlain’s short stint as the sixth Great Lake The Midwest is home to five Great Lakes. But for a short time in the late 1990s, there were six β€” after one Vermont lake crashed the party.

Lake Champlain is pretty great, but it's not technically a Great Lake.

The Onion Made an Absolutely Unhinged Jeffrey Epstein Mockumentary "Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile" is a very silly deep dive on a very serious issue. In the current media landscape, it’s a wonder it even got made.

When did The Onion decide to make a Jeffrey Epstein mockumentary? Once Trump started acting β€œdodgy” fielding questions about Epstein.

β€œThere's this big gap where information should be," @bencollins.bsky.social said. They thought "it would be very funny to fill it with complete fucking nonsense."
