Long-standing theory of mine: many reporters have gone along with their bosses' pro-Trump agenda because you can't win a Pulitzer for reporting on the death camps if he doesn't get to build the death camps.
Guess how that's working out.

Trying to imagine what it’d be like for an experienced 60 Minutes producer or reporter, who’d spent many weeks preparing a detailed investigation of a notorious El Salvador prison, to be getting input from Bari Weiss or one of acolytes, just hours before airtime.

Look, I know these people will never impeach and remove Trump, but if the dam breaks on lesser officers and cabinet secretaries there's an actual chance the republic survives

Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

What pottery?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This is ableist against people with poor impulse control
Fight the urge to go dunk on trollish USG accounts; it's like mud wrestling with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it. Instead, focus on picking Bluesky fights like Alf intended: by willfully misunderstanding skeets from people who actually agree with you entirely

Employers: "Law schools are not doing enough to make students practice-ready! We need more more more of everything in law school! You are not training lawyers for the real world!"
Also employers: "We would like to hire students based on 5 weeks of 1L work."

This is madness. Today we had to send a message to our 1L students telling them it’s not a great idea to use the first drafts of their first legal writing assignments because the new OCI timeline is so early they are wondering if they should.

One way out of this might come wrapped in Reaganite branding. Somebody runs on "America Is Open for Business." They'll promise to end tariffs by fiat, reopen global trade, launch a ludicrously expensive marketing campaign to convince tourists they won't be kidnapped. 20% chance it's a Republican.

I expect to be saying "the Personal Rule of Donald Trump" quite a lot, and this is what I'm referring to.
If the President can raise his own revenues and direct his own spending without congressional approval we are squarely in the only situation the Constitution was actually drafted to avoid: English civil war territory
