Wow, I didn’t know that!

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

I feel safer already with this guy as the new DHS nominee.

[Exit Murderer.]

Noem wasn’t fired for putting masked federal agents on the streets to racially profile and kidnap people, or for running a department that has repeatedly violated Americans’ constitutional rights, or for overseeing agencies whose employees have senselessly murdered US citizens in cold blood, on video. Instead, Noem was apparently fired for telling Congress, under oath, that Trump approved her department’s $220 million ad campaign – a suite of ads in which Noem repeatedly demonized immigrants while lavishing praise on the president.

Very glad that Noem is out but let's be clear that it wasn't for DHS's monstrous behavior. (Said behavior, of course, being a virtue in this administration.)

WI tossed aside the great Russ Feingold for this craven moron.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Senate Dem looking at funding Trump's war, per Politico:

Jack Reed (RI): @reed.senate.gov
Gary Peters (MI): @peters.senate.gov
Tim Kaine (VA): @kaine.senate.gov
Elissa Slotkin (MI): @slotkin.senate.gov
Chris Coons (DE): @coons.senate.gov
Jeanne Shaheen (NH): @shaheen.senate.gov

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

2026 *Democracy Summer* =/= 1964 Freedom Summer.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Twice in 30 seconds!

So glad that the US Congress thoroughly considered and publicly debated the costs of this war before voting to authorize it.

whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could

How Kennedy Is Trying to Revamp Medical School

RFK Jr & McMahon wrote a vile letter to my medical school telling us we must stop generating a diverse medical workforce or they'd destroy us

Delighted to give an invited talk about the history of public media policy in the symposium "Canceling the State: Legal and Political Backlash Against Public Institutions," at Wayne State University.

Well if this ain't just the 10th amendment fact pattern from hell. I don't see how the federal government can require a state to continue permitting someone to practice before its own courts consistent with the principle of divided sovereignty. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04390.p...

At CBS News, where staffers are apparently barred from reading history books, the hostilities between Iran and the US don’t begin until 1979.

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.

"The only limits on what we can do is President Trump's desire to achieve specific goals" (paraphrasing what Hegseth said): this is completely at odds with how responsible people think about the use of military power in the service of strategic goals and with realism in the literal sense.

Crockett concedes: “This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.”

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

We’re being governed by 12-year-old boys who think being a man means being constantly belligerent and always on the edge of violence.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.
