As a human rights lawyer, I cannot ignore this potential conclusion.
Genocide is defined in binding international law. When evidence suggests conduct falls within its scope, we have a duty to examine it, not dismiss it reflexively.

Trump has lost the culture. But what if the universal conventional wisdom—that he won the culture in the first place—was never true? What if our warped media environment, then Trump's victory, created an illusion of MAGA cultural dominance that is now slipping. This is a long one, so strap in.

I discussed new Arizona ESA data with Arizona 12 News’ Craig Harris. 20% of transactions deemed unallowable.
Imagine letting public schools spend taxpayer dollars with this little oversight or auditing. We wouldn’t. Release the data, and let the public see what it’s funding.
