I must've missed ABC News’ official statement supporting reporter Rachel Scott, who was insulted by Trump yesterday. I guess ABC is still busy drafting a rip-roaring defense of Scott, because no ethical employer would let a staffer be harassed like that without addressing the issue.

Trump to ABC's Rachel Scott: "You are the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just tell you -- you are an obnoxious-- a terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. I told you."

Display of Confederate flags at North East Christmas Parade called ‘inexcusable’
Two groups flaunting Confederate flags in a small Cecil County town’s holiday parade over the weekend riled up some community members and left some wondering how they were permitted to participate.

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

I've given the NYT military innovation piece a read.
If China were to invade Taiwan, "our adversaries" would use the same "expensive, vulnerable weapons:" aircraft carriers, fighters, amphibious warfare ships, and armored vehicles.

It's one of the first things the Ukrainians wanted (because of how long it would take) and Biden and co. rebuffed it because mwah escalation
I think one of the biggest mistakes we (the west) made was not spinning up Ukraine on tacair sooner.
After nearly 4 years of war, they would absolutely have a very capable conventional air capability if we devoted the energy early on.
My lesson learned: go big early in defense of Democracy.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

But the key thing is that birthright citizenship wasn't something new that the 14th Amendment pulled out of nowhere. It is a much older legal principle, found in texts that were already hundreds of years old when the 14th Amendment was drafted.
