I don't know exactly where you go beyond that in rooting out the special operations cult of lawlessness, but an immediate start would be abolishing SOCOM as its own combatant command and requiring, by law, such operations be conducted only through the regular geographic commands.

This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.
Why do you need Seal Team 6 to blow up a fucking boat?
This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

This is the thing that always inspiried me about the US public higher-ed system. That a country could be so wealthy that it can have schools where people build rocket ships under sports stadiums and somehow these are considered "unprestigious" to elitist snobs
I always think of Tony Judt on this (though I'd hold the condescension and double down on the public university systems in the heartland)

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

This applies to SCOTUS too. Declining to impose consequences (e.g. court packing) after the GOP stole a seat has made the GOP justices more brazen, not less.
The pathway to good government court reform is to threaten to pack it, forcing GOPers to choose between a Dem Court and a nonpartisan one.

Even the most weird and religious of religious weirdos must eventually acknowledge that they live in the desert and the only resource they have a significant amount of is sunlight. We almost did the same thing in Texas but promptly went insane again.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

You need a 2/3 vote to get it done, which is a big hurdle to doing a good version of this policy instead of a much less good version.

3. This interpretation of these survey results conflict with the political reality of new office construction vs new housing construction.
One is a lot less contentious than the other and aesthetics do not explain why.

Is "aesthetics" just a pretext for excluding lower-income residents? We tested this by comparing support for apartments vs. similarly sized office buildings. If it was about residents, people should prefer offices. But they oppose offices even more. Physical structure matters.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
