My early new year's resolution* is that in 2026 everyone is going to get much better at writing, e.g., this:
What do we talk about when we talk about "the law"?
and not, e.g., this:
What do we talk about when we talk about "the law?"
*For you.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Speaking truth can be liberating, and it’s clear Massie is enjoying his freedom.
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them!
The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.
Trump now says House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files “because we have nothing to hide”

This is what I told my Dad last night:
The TACO presidency is not over, but his aura of invincibility is.
It’s not one thing. It’s the cumulative effect of a shit economy, wildly unpopular tariffs, ICE terrorizing communities, his flip flopping on H-1B visas, redistricting not going all that well

Jeffrey Epstein had 1,571 names of contacts in his little black book.
Fewer than 40 names—just 2.4%—were circled.
Donald Trump’s was one of them.
Epstein had 14 phone numbers for Trump. Fourteen ways to reach him.
If that’s not “being on the Epstein List,” what the f*ck is?

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar?
I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔
