I refer to growing up in the acid rain/ quicksand/impending nuclear conflict era as being "classically trained" in generalized anxiety

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I am really disgusted that Tractor Supply, with their anti-DEI pandering, is sponsoring the SEC women's basketball tournament.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The beauty of Spring (or likely false Spring right now) is that with the window open you get to hear the laughter and joy of your neighbors celebrating getting outdoors and enjoying nature and each other and time and space.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

Brutal exchange between RFK Jr. and Sen. Bennet:

Bennet: Did you say Lyme disease is a highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon?

Kennedy: I probably did say that.

Also thermal optics are useless against umbrellas. Laser pointers dazzle night vision optics & you can put out a smoke/gas grenade with a cone and dousing it with water.

Good luck. Wear makeup that will spoof facial recognition cameras & cover up the rest.

I hope you never need this information.
