Looking for Lincoln-Douglass debate levels of dialogue on Twitter/Threads/Bluesky is like looking for Milton-style blank verse on a bathroom stall, let's be realistic.

I'm with my inlaws for the holidays and they brewed a pot of Black Rifle coffee.
I have never had the stuff for obvious reasons.
It tastes awful.

I know it's not the most important thing, but we need to make an active effort to fight back against the appropriation of American symbolism and mythos from these ghouls.
It won't be difficult, since most of it is AI slop and cherrypicked quotes from men who would hate them.

1. Lawfare's most read article of 2025 was @annabower.bsky.social's report of Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. attorney who led the prosecution of Letitia James, sending her a Signal message about Bower's reporting on the James indictment.

This 4-5 sentence expectation is not only insane for a Secretary of Defense, it is insane for an Army Major.
I'm pretty sure you don't need a Ranger Tab to find the time to read more than five sentences on a key issue a week. Officers read a LOT.

Pedialyte was my weekend thing during OCS. Drinking that stuff made me feel like a person again. It's nostalgic for me.
They would decide it's a conspiracy or something.

One of the things that's wild about MAHA on social media is they're also vilifying Pedialyte and Ensure.
So not only do they want you to not do anything that can stop you from getting sick (masking, vaccinating) they also don't want you to effectively treat yourself once you are sick.

Describing the CIA Director exchanging our national security secrets for sex with the author of your vanity biography sure is something.
But if you "run the government like a business," I guess it's no big deal.

This is 100% the case and you cannot convince me otherwise.
I have a theory that many of the ICE operators we're seeing are the military's vax refusers and were both not very good at being servicemembers and now are absolute dorks given access to the gear they never got to mess around with while in uniform.
I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

It's been 50 years since a lawyer's decision unlocked free agency in MLB and changed sports forever
Sports were turned upside down 50 years ago Tuesday by a man who never threw or kicked a ball. A lawyer with expertise in labor relations struck down Major League Baseball’s reserve clause, which had bound players to their teams since the 1870s.
