I doubt T***p and Hegseth could have done more to strengthen the resolve of U.S. senior military leadership to obey their oaths to the Constitution in the face of whatever pressure they receive from the Regime than they unwittingly accomplished with this juvenile and offensive spectacle today.

The reporting on the horror unfolding in Michigan gets progressively worse. To my Mormon friends and community members: I stand with you in grief, outrage and resolve.

He inadvertently published a command to the Attorney General to prosecute his enemies regardless of the evidence and decompensated for an hour before the U.N. General Assembly. Networks and newspapers should be running stories 24/7 on his manifest lack of moral and mental fitness for office.

I watched about 30 seconds of Confused Oompa Loompa yelling at the assembled diplomats of the United Nations while clearly under the delusion that he was sitting on a stool at the corner bar ranting about "those damned hippies" and that is quite enough thank you.

These people have nothing to offer. They are all memes and soulless shouting, corruption and avarice, an Orange shape discharging obscene sounds and smells while eager piranha dart about vying to cause pain.

One thing I take away from the last few days: This Regime is empty. There is no foundation, no core, no center that can hold, no stability, no creed or code. I understood all this before but the latest round of desperate, ugly, crass performance has given that dreadful truth new sharpness.

Drone breaches Romanian airspace during Russian attack on neighbouring Ukraine Romania scrambled fighter jets on Saturday when a drone breached the country's airspace during a Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure near the border, the defence ministry said.

And now Romania.

We've gotten off on a really wrong foot here. I don't know exactly what to say to change your impression. I genuinely appreciate the input you've offered. I don't automatically accept it as authoritative and correct but I take it seriously and will pay more attention to how "trans activist" is used.

I appreciate the input and will take it seriously. I did not consider my response defensive. I trust you can understand that your replies did not come across as an inquiry so much as lowkey accusatory. Now you're putting me on blast, which is your prerogative. In any event, I appreciate the input.

Young White man named Tyler turned in by his family and currently in the custody of state authorities. We will see what there is to learn about his politics and the motivation for this targeted assassination. I doubt it will conform to the story the Right has been screaming at the top of their lungs

I beg your pardon? The woman who coined this language is both trans and an activistβ€”she works full time attempting to advance sound policy for trans lives and educate the public about assaults on trans rights. The word "activist" is not owned by hostile opponents.

A trans activist referred to the Department of Defense as the "deadname" for the Department of War following its "transition" and I may not recover.

From my friend and law school classmate Professor Ryan Goodman. The number of people in the boat they targeted always made the drug smuggling claim suspect.

I just had occasion to go to a Department of Defense website and discovered that their URLs have already been redirected to "War.gov" links. These man-babies think screaming WAR!!! makes them tough. Just pathetic.

Rodrigo Duterte is being prosecuted at the ICC in The Hague right now for engaging in extrajudicial assassinations of alleged drug traffickers when he was the autocratic President of the Philippines. Just for some context.

In case you wondered what the period of decadent decline in the Holy Roman Empire would have looked like if translated into 21st century vernacular.

The Regime lost on their Alien Enemies Act BS in the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit. Opinion by the very conservative Judge Leslie Southwick appointed by George W. Bush. A remarkable rebuke.
