Bowie has too many to choose from.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
The history of international relations shows that only great powers in deep decline try to take on the entire system, as a last-ditch attempt to preserve their relative advantage. It also shows that this strategy almost never works.
On top of that, what distinguishes honorable countries from the likes of Putin’s war-crimes-regime is to investigate, take responsibility, and apologize for serious mistakes, not blatantly lie about them.
This is disgusting, but also a tacit admission of just how horrible and indefensible it is.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
It isn’t just Trump that broke America, it’s the GOP. They refused to impeach him the first and second time. They have either supported the lawlessness of his administration, cowered, or abdicated responsibility. The GOP has had the power to stop this, and they refused. This is on them.
The leopards came for Dan.
“No stupid rules of engagement”
Hard to imagine that Trump could find someone dumber and meaner to replace her, but he managed to do it.
The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.
to gauge whether one person’s firmly held belief is reasonably derived from religious practice or not. I assume that for the states that allow for personal exemptions, this is the dilemma they are trying to avoid. 2/2
I follow what you’re saying, and I am straw-manning where you are likely steel-manning (or at least giving the benefit of the doubt). That said, there are religious texts, recorded traditions, and interpretive communities to which one can refer 1/2
We can agree, though, that “I don’t like it” is not actually grounds for a religious exemption, right?
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.
The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Have strongly-worded letters of concern *ever* been a successful strategy for creating change?
Stop asking for "an explanation" like there's going to be a good answer for why he launched an illegal war without consulting Congress
Start calling this out for what it is. Jesus, only 21% of the public backs this war, it's not remotely popular. Find a fucking spine.
It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!
This is a graph of the death of US science.
I feel like changing someone’s seat from extra room aisle to middle seat regular without any credit is a bad look, JetBlue.
Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting
Maybe I’m built different but there was never a point in my life where anybody could trick me into killing a bunch of people. Definitely not the fucking US government. You know what you’re signing up for man. You can’t be out here with a military grade rifle talmbout ‘Be gentle I’m baby’
Need a Sankey diagram for her LLM use.
More seriously, I’m genuinely surprised by this and you have to respect it. The really intellectually committed AI people are odd but not messing around, for better or worse.
Another strongly-worded letter of concern, then? JFC
I guess this is supposed to distract us and the corporate media from talking about the Trump-Epstein files?
i dont know if its always been like this but among the elites theres just no sense of responsibility to be good stewards of the society thats given them everything
