Tice has now opened himself up to a defamation lawsuit that he would surely lose – and then face the consequences of having to apologise to the man who called his political boss a vile racist as a schoolboy.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?
Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.

If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.

The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

this affidavit looks at least kind of thin on its face. certainly enough evidence there for closer scrutiny. but i bought galvanized pipes and end caps at home depot literally this week and not for plumbing. (i didn't also by timers).

So the complaint against the alleged pipe bomber is based entirely on:

1) His height (5'6")
2) His purchases of components
3) His phone pinging the cell towers
4) A meal at a restaurant by scene of the crime

No sneakers mentioned.

Excellent to see this from The Economist. We are slow walking into a constitutional crisis driven by the electoral system, and very few people are taking it seriously enough yet.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

Ahead of the ceremonial peace deal signing between Congo and Rwanda's leaders, Trump shouts out Darren Beattie in the crowd.

Beattie was fired from the first Trump administration for associating with white nationalists -- now he's the acting president of the Institute for Peace.

Perhaps apropos. In a 1939 internal note, NBC regretted *not* censoring announcer Walter Winchell after he called Hitler a "madman".

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

One of the things that was really shocking to people when the tapes came out was Nixon cussing in the Oval Office. People thought he was clean cut and everything.
i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
