My immediate thoughts are that this— the pregnancy— is strategically intended to “humanize” JD and Usha. Maybe they always wanted a third child; it’s none of my business on that level.

Exactly. The books had their moment, which was stretched over a decade because there were 7 of them, then the films extended that run, but the series is not necessarily going to stand the test of time— especially as its author is a horrible bigot.

Duffy has evidently not viewed any of the video evidence of the sequence of events in which ICE and CBP “agents” tackled and murdered Alex Pretti.
What an irresponsible jackass. (I realize his ignorance and denial are entirely intentional, and that reinforces his evil.)

I care! I have your backs. I am one person but I am a scientist and child of two public servant healthcare workers; I support the NYC nurses’ strike; and I condemn RFK, the ruination of the CDC, NIH, and NSF, and the gutting of US research funding at every opportunity.
Thanks for all you do.

The regime’s “lively” and misleading rhetoric? I’m trying to figure out what word they thought they were using. I’m at a loss. Way to go, Post.

I suppose, as is the regime m.o., nobody (least of all “Fugitive Caesar”) cares if their communication is in any sense of the word accurate.

What on earth? A rec league hockey team in a cold-weather location would be similarly stocked. It’s fantastic that the resistance has steady access to hand warmers and all the rest, but these are standard supplies for cold-weather activity in general. I’m surprised Gunther remembers to breathe.

Not even; at least a Google search from twenty years ago linked to discrete, specific sources that you could vet on the fly (and there were fewer, or no janky Sponsored Ads — I don’t recall when those started). I would be thrilled to reencounter Google search from twenty years ago.

He only ever cares about the coverage, what he perceives as his image, “the numbers,” “ratings.” He has no connection to actual events. I am not sure whether he considers anyone or anything outside his immediate bodily experience to be real.

Hegseth is from Minnesota— this makes his statement even more disturbing. It is as though he is ascribing godlike powers to ICE, as evangelicals do when they proclaim, “I am second,” ie, God/Christ are first. It is so upsetting.
