The Cheney obituary pairs well with this piece I just published about the final attempts to stop @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Read them together and subscribe to @foreverwars.bsky.social:
The Ground Zero Mosqueification of Zohran Mamdani
The politics of 9/11 may not be strong enough to take down the New York mayoral frontrunner. But they'll burn the social fabric of the city they claim to save

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

It’s late, I should already be asleep, I have no idea what he actually meant, but I certainly could believe that Trump saw all the news about Russia’s Burvestnik test, his smooth brain interpreted it as a big bang nuke test like in the time of yore, and now he is sad.

The US has a massive advantage at non-yield producing testing methods in technology and expertise, so of course this would be another unforced giveaway to Moscow and Beijing.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Abolishing ICE is insufficient. Investigations and prosecutions must happen. People have to go jail. Others have to be barred from ever working in law enforcement ever again.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

That’s the official answer.
In another world, the House might convene anyway, elect a speaker pro tempore and go about its business.

On the point that a majority would prefer to be in session right now, you can just do things—or, at least, so the Senate would say.

Everyone in that room knows that applauding any part of this speech would be welcomed by these guys. There's precisely zero chance they face backlash for caving right now. They aren't because they know it's wrong and because it still matters to them.
