It needs to be made clear to ICE agents that they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the crimes they commit. There will be Nuremberg trials.
How long until Trump turns his back on Whiskey Pete? Don't need a number, just your appropriate unit of measure.

As a matter of realpolitik, there is no path forward for any impeachment resolution sponsored by Democrats.

But it sounds like there are Republicans who want him gone. What they lead can succeed. So it makes sense, for the moment, to wait.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up.

If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer.

If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

When Pam Bondi pretends to uphold the law and take down criminals, I remember that she took an illegal $25K bribe from the now orange convicted felon back when she was Florida’s corrupt AG to help him cover up the fraud he committed with his fake university. She’s a criminal’s criminal.

Why have Democrats never -- and I do mean never -- attacked Fox News over its foreign ownership?

Fox News is not an interested party in American politics, save for whatever money they can drag out of the country into their pockets. Their ownership doesn't have to live in the country they tear apart

Joe Biden was always the Senator from MBNA, and Hillary Clinton threw away her reputation when she backed the invasion of Iraq.

I like Claire but her memories of these two seem to be very foggy.

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I could. Oh wait, that's not the point.

But seriously, how spoiled must we be to find flying a dehumanizing experience?
Except it’s not true that flying is dehumanizing. Even on small regional airlines in coach. It’s a period of involuntary confinement. It can’t be helped because you can’t sit up front and fly the plane. My God, stop complaining about a miracle.
Two things can be true - air travel is a completely dehumanizing experience and people should respect themselves and others in public.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Everybody on Bluesky may soon have to grapple with the possibility that it took Marjorie Taylor Greene to bring down Donald Trump.

My advice is for everyone to stock up on their intoxicant of choice at once. We may need a collective moment of anesthesia.
