The prospect of Trump rejecting the ebulliently vicious Paxtonβ€”a man who has positioned himself as Trump’s man in Texas for a decadeβ€”in favor of Cornyn and his slightly less obsequious support of the MAGA agenda is itself sublime. But feast on this: Trump would also be turning his back on the one man in the country as hungry to turn an election into a revenge tour as he was. Cornyn is a cardboard box filled with Senate Leadership PAC money. Paxton is a feral raccoon with nothing to lose. He may not have as much cash on hand as Cornyn, but he has even fewer scruples and a history of bleeding opponents out over long campaigns.

What’s more, a Trump endorsement of Cornyn means that both Paxton and Cornyn own Trump, for better or for worse. Who has β€œworse” on their bingo card? I have β€œworse.”

Wrote about what it might mean for Trump to endorse Cornyn at The Nation this morning and all the good news for Texas Dems. It's going to be a *delightfully* ugly race.

This film is the best distillation of 70s Cop Conspiracy Thriller and 80s action cinema. John Badham released both this and WARGAMES in the same year…

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump β€œlost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

For years the Taliban told women to cover up in public. Now they're cracking down At hospitals, at seminaries and on buses, the Taliban is stepping up enforcement of rules on women's dress in the city of Herat.

So this novel I'm writing, it has a few explicit sex scenes. I love writing those scenes. And I love my characters. And I kinda just want to write sex scenes right now. Have them all just fuck. But it's weird, I tried to write standalone sex scenes and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought.

This govt is too stupid to recognize what is happening. It genuinely believes its military dominance (rapidly eroding) will guarantee the survival of the empire in the absence of every other accoutrement of imperial hegemony. History suggests otherwise. But people die in the death throes of empire.

It's almost darkly funny that Hegseth spent yesterday shaking down the Boy Scouts over trans kids and publicly feuding with a chatbot company, knowing full well that he was about to throw us into World War III hours later.

What does being Trans have to do with your ability to drive a car? If a State can unilaterally just invalidate a legal document for no legal reason, we’re traveling down a dark road indeed.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.
