Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need more of this.

If the headline is "disputed shooting" rather than straightforwardly telling the public what happened this rewards the DHS for lying about these events

If a Dem Congress were this supine under a Dem President, it would be the subject of constant op-eds and news discussion. The focus of every press conference with the speaker. Relentless demands for Congress to vote against the admin on something, anything, everything, to show independence

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

I am not convinced that kidnapping Maduro will intimidate Venezuela into allowing the US to occupy it.

The best explanation that I can come up with is that we're a victim of our own success. That's not to say America was ever perfect, but I think we achieved a standard of living where people could be comfortable enough to tune out and trust that things will work themselves out because they always do.

Part of the problem with Russia owning Trump is that China owns Russia

I think most people assume that the “Trump class” battleships will never be built, so let’s not lose sight of the fact that every dollar spent on them over the next three years is pure waste that will make the US weaker because it could have been spent on something actually useful for our defense

I think the simplest explanation for the Supreme Court ruling against Trump on the national guard deployments is that three of the conservative members realized that Trump having the ability to effect martial law wasnt exactly going to be salutary for the power of the judiciary

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

This piece is a species of what we might call “born yesterday” coverage that sets aside how these actions fit into the history of Trumpism and authoritarianism. This is reporting in the spirit of what George W. S. Trow called “no-history” in his remarkable essay, “Within the Context of No Context.”

Weird that Bari Weiss hasn’t laid this whole controversy to rest by showing us examples of all the memos she sent at Free Press holding back stories because there was no comment from the liberals they were attacking

Did you watch the piece?

It explains the DHS deferred all questions to the El Salvadoran government

They don't need to get a "your mom" statement to run the piece

I think it’s pretty likely Bari Weiss quits far sooner than anyone expects because if there’s anything we learned from her tenure at the New York Times it’s that this lady hates working, absolutely despises it, and she probably had to send like four emails today

The US has stopped doing counterterrorism because all federal law enforcement has been working on arresting people showing up to court dates and redacting the Epstein Files to protect Trump

JD Vance being married to a POC child of immigrants isn’t evidence that he’s not racist, it’s further evidence of what a monstrous piece of shit he is that he’s betrayed his own wife and children

The Trump administration’s “National Security Strategy” is neither about national security nor a strategy. Discuss

...something I've tried to articulate (unsuccessfully) many times. So I'll try again.

My core premise: everything you need to know about Trump -- his psychology, his likely behavior -- you can glean from watching him talk for, oh, 30 seconds or so. ANY 30 seconds will do. Pick 30 seconds at random.
