Veterans recoil at Trump plan to end Afghans’ deportation protection
The Trump administration claims conditions in Afghanistan have markedly improved under Taliban rule. Those who fought in the war say that’s ‘laughable.’

The depth at which these fuckers worship #TraitorTrump is at once disgusting, horrifying, and deeply hypocritical for people claiming to be devout #Christians.
The Secretary of Defense is using the Pentagon auditorium, on government-billed hours, to hold Christian-only prayer services with a minister who doesn’t think women deserve to serve and promoted the idea that Trump is a divinely appointed leader.

It's about time. 6 months of bullshit by Republican candidate trying to change the rules after he lost
This is a good development, but we need better incentives to avoid bad faith actions by sore-loser candidates that disrupt election results—including by denying the victor the right to assume office on time
BREAKING: U.S. District Court Judge Richard Myers orders the NC State Board of Elections to certify a 734-vote win for Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs and rejects all of Griffin's election protests. Judge stays order for one week so Griffin may appeal. #ncpol

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.
