The movie #HouseofDynamite is good, not great but entertaining. Without giving away the plot, it is a nuclear crisis and how military and civilian establishment acted. If a similar crisis happens now, decisions will be made by the Convicted President and his clowns. THAT'S SCARY.

It would give me great pleasure to see Chef José Andrés or his organization World Central Kitchen be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work of feeding communities after natural disasters or suffering the ravages of war and genocide

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.

Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:
181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military
In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

China stopped buying soy beans from the US, hurting US famers, and ramped buying them from Argentina. What the Convicted President does? Secure a $20B rescue plan for Argentina to prop of Milei's government. So now our farmers are going broke and we are subsidizing Argentina's farmers.

More evidence that Idiocracy is not a stupid comedy but documentary of a scary omen becoming a reality. What's next asking the USGA to investigate if the Earth is flat or NMFS to study the distribution of mermaids in US waters?

A few weeks back Ibtook a flight from DC to Charlotte and two young guys late 20 early 30 had military style haircut with jeans and tactical jackets with patches that read US Mass Deportation Department and a eagle in patch. I'm sure they are not Fed but some civilian militia. Anyone have seen this?

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
