I assume if you are White House Chief of Staff you run up some chits with journalists. Is that what this is? Or that he is available?

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

New NY Times ’visual investigation’ strongly suggests that the US fired the missile that hit the Minab school Saturday. (Though is very careful with its language to not say it conclusively.)

Does he have to dress like a chef all the time everywhere he goes, like the Mandalorian of gastronomy

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

bsky.app/profile/anja... double-tap strikes, regardless of the target, are usually understood to be Geneva Convention violations because they target the wounded and aid personnel who are specifically protected under international law. The target here makes this an especially staggering evil.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Textbook corruption

This guy just screams that he's really into doing war crimes on a daily basis

Any organization that has signed up to serve as a backdrop to Trump at this point knows they are willing props in authoritarianism. Here, the President is musing about which country he plans to attack next.

Luis Suarez (left of Trump) - now is the moment you choose to stop biting people?

Fetterman isn’t Manchin in WV: this is Sinema in AZ.

Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Folks: Kristi Noem was fired immediately after this post.

Started watching "How to Get to Heaven From Belfast" and am 100% certain the words "Derry Girls meets Bad Sisters" were uttered in the pitch meeting

US at one end, Canada at the other

Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.

One of Trump's genuine lessons - partly prompted by Stephen Miller - is that if he tortured the law long enough, he would get it to say whatever he wanted. So he strategically recruited torturers.

Much of Trump's first term presidency was not a disaster partly because he did not run into big external crises until Covid came along. His second term is a disaster because he is actively creating those crises.

At this point, Cricket's fate seems merciful compared to this
