1/DOJ OLC's memo on the #Venezuela attack makes clear that that in the Executive's view, there's nothing left of Congress' Art. I power to decide whether the nation goes to war.
Congress needs to push back hard on this.
More to come, but a few initial observations:

Scott Adams, dead at 68. Could have chosen to be not-a-piece-of-shit but died a piece of shit. We already mourned the loss of Dilbert years ago because of a piece of shit.

All sorts of interesting. From IR succeeding at block where RU failed. To the idea that "censorship-proof" satcoms rely almost entirely on a corrupt broligarch who can arbitrarily kill it. The real question is, how well can OneWeb compete and are they willing to ship terminals to IR and UA?
Iran crippled Starlink and why the rest of the world should worry
The service became synonymous with censorship-proof connectivity. Iran has just proved that assumption wrong.

The man who shot Renee Good is exactly the sort of person they want throughout DHS
![As Drew Harwell and Joyce Sohyun Lee recently reported for The Washington Post, this has become an explicit tactic within the agency, circulated in what DHS calls its "wartime recruitment" strategy. They note that DHS' plan was to direct recruitment efforts at "people with an interest in 'military and veterans' affairs,
'physical training,' or 'conservative news and politics, and [to] target people whose lifestyles are 'patriotic' or 'conservative-leaning." DHS also aimed to attract conservative radio show listeners and social media users with interests in “conservative thought leaders, gun rights organizations [and] tactical gear brands."
This is an administration built on a fundamentally violent worldview, nourishing violent impulses within the national community and seeking out the most brutish among us to implement its draconian policies.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hafxlnw235qrcil2lpohp2ly/bafkreic37fyagzivmgrkj6fjjsjxbjppbyaq6fr52uit6puwywb54u27qe@jpeg)
