This was limited to intelligence regarding the Russian-Ukraine peace negotiations. Still important, but not a blanket block as your post kinda implies.
Sliver-brain Nate conflates progressivism with constitutionalism (which is basically what @hcrichardson.bsky.social writes about so compellingly). OK, sure.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

The three were paid $100,000 to take the boat to Miami. “Authorities did a thorough sweep and found hidden compartments that had more than 1,000 packages of cocaine, totaling about 3,715 pounds.“

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

BARTIROMO: All of this is part of an overall conspiracy the DOJ is trying to put together, starting with Russia collusion, the Mar-a-Lago raid. Was January 6 part of that?
COMER: I wonder who knew. Did Jamie Raskin, who's the most dishonest member of Congress, know & then go along with the coverup?

Sad to see talented writers & serious intellectuals necessarily pitching bad-faith caricatures to win straw man arguments with movements they’re rooting against. TCW’s convoluted damnation of “moral clarity” suggests that Charlie Kirk required serious engagement.

The Left’s New Moralism Will Backfire
Under Trump, progressives have embraced the rhetoric of “moral clarity.” It won’t help their cause.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

Time to get active for public health and outdoor life in our communities!
The highest-ranking transportation congressman is saying that biking & walking paths aren't "traditional infrastructure" and don't deserve funding in the next federal transportation bill. Broke down why that's historically inaccurate, morally wrong, and *possible to defeat* — if we organize.

Give us something we can believe in @whitehouse.senate.gov. Have you ever been on a team where some the members abandoned everything the group had fought for, destroying months of SUCCESSFUL effort? Who ignores that and says ‘let’s get right back on the field with those self-destructive losers?!’
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
