Kudos to the Star Tribune giving Liam top billing over Vance.

Below the fold is where JD is most comfortable.

Denazification failed. The US has never done a successful lustration and it is imperative that we acknowledge that so we can learn from previous attempts.
Really interesting post from @asharangappa.bsky.social tackling the imponderably difficult task of restoration at DOJ once the cavalry finally arrives and exploring a process akin to the "denazification" sorting that took place after WWII.

It’s potentially huge news in the Senate, too. Texas & Florida, obviously. And it may be a nail in the coffin of the GOP’s chances in NC. But it could also be significant if Nebraska & Kansas (Osborn lost by less than 7 points).

Run Elon out. Tie the dealership employees to the SLUT's tracks.
Today in Seattle we celebrated the #TeslaTakedown 1st anniv with a party where it all started for us... the #Tesla showroom that shut down after months of weekly protests. We've built real community and we're just getting started ✊ @defundmusk.bsky.social @troublemakers.bsky.social

This parallels modern conservatives who understand truthful revelations of rape to be a substantially greater evil than the act itself
Brooks knew his cousin habitually raped women he owned and clearly understood this to be wrong but ambushed the northerner who told the truth about it

A Trump of child rapists?
A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. A cabinet of pedophiles.
The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.
Seems kinda bad?

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

As a strict constitutionalist, I am so horrified by the possibility of a president serving three terms that I may have to write in Edmund Burke in 2028 if Trump runs again.

Not a fan of the rather thinly sourced allegations about Mrs Forehead/Kirk going around. Totally willing to believe she is a sex pest but need better evidence.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.
