If this Most Cited List (from a Leiter post earlier this year on political philosophy books with over 4000 citations) is right then it's wild just how hard liberalism is winning in political philosophy. Total ideological domination.

This is what happens when someone who has accepted almost $500k in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry is chosen to run the EPA. Might as well rename it the “Oil and Gas Industry Protection Agency” since Lee Zeldin has no interest in protecting our environment. #NHPolitics #NH01

US homeland security department partially shutdown after lawmakers fail to agree funding
Lawmakers left Washington for a long weekend without resolving an impasse over much-criticized agency’s funding
The Department of Homeland Security has begun a partial shutdown, after funding for the much-criticized agency expired, with a range of services, including domestic flights and the US Coastguard, now vulnerable to disruption.
The shutdown was all but confirmed on Thursday, after the Senate failed to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the DHS appropriations bill and lawmakers left Washington for a long weekend without resolving the impasse. Continue reading...

From what I hear, Thomas Massie is a "prepper" who lives off-grid and is very difficult to get in touch with. Although, as the saying goes, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
Thomas Massie tweeting out a "if I die I was murdered" statement is a very concerning development.
They all get threats but he's clearly rattled by them.

The location has some interesting neighbors that shows up better in the color version of Open Streets Map. (Rough project site in yellow).
Not in their application: the campground, Boston TRACON and BAE (Space Systems & Electronics facility). This is not a good spot to add more electronic noise.

Absolutely reprehensible:
SCOOP: Social Security workers are being told to give the details of appointments customers are making to ICE, raising the prospect of secret police abducting people going to mandatory SSA appointments. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, and @leahfeiger.bsky.social have more.

An attorney for Sen. Elissa Slotkin is urging the Justice Department to shut down an investigation into a viral video telling members of the military not to follow "illegal orders" after a federal grand jury in D.C. rejected an attempt to indict her and five other Democrats.

Moving forward with the case after a failed attempt to indict six Democrats, Slotkin's attorney wrote, "would violate clear ethical duties and Justice Department policy."
