this is obviously intended to chill dissent but i think it's going to backfire on them. what the lawmakers said was just directly true. and trying to get them for it is just going to raise their profile and the salience of what they said!
MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

I find the use of "warriors" rather than soldiers somewhat infantilizing.
As if US service members are playing dress up with swords.

The people in 1827 had no sense of humor, and couldn't recognize a good bit when they had one
from the 1200s till 1827 students getting a MA at Oxford had to swear an oath to never reconcile with Henry Symeonis, even long after who Henry Symeonis was was lost.
only in 1912, 85 years after the oath was abolished was Henry Symeonis' identity rediscovered, they still don't know what he did.

As with all semantical disputes, Britain forfeited the right to call cookies biscuits in the Treaty of Paris.
love the website where posting a picture of a biscuit inspires deranged comments and some of the most tedious discourse imaginable

My old cat does nothing but eat, sleep, and get in trouble.
His arthritis can't be too bad if he's still determined to vault to the top shelf, right?
I mean, he can't get himself down anymore, but I like the energy.

I met someone last weekend whose family also has a tradition of making Pink Stuff for Thanksgiving
Pink Stuff is a frozen desert-type substance served as part of main meal, composed of cool whip, cherries, and other ingredients
I'm sure it has a real name, but the real name was not passed down

Making the turkey taste good is a CORE HOLIDAY CHALLENGE
In a great moment for mankind, after years of effort, I have convinced my American family to abandon the turkey and opt for a bird that actually tastes good for Thanksgiving this year

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

I try to be honest with my niece, so I told her the truth about how my uncle died many years ago when she asked (He was murdered)
She got confused, and thought I was talking about someone else in my family who was also killed with a gun (suicide, softened for her ears to "accident").
