Any American journalist who doesn’t *instantaneously* see what this is—Ghislaine Maxwell, desperately seeking a pardon from Trump, negotiating privately to say whatever he wants her to say in public to get a pardon (now or anytime during her twenty-year prison bid)—should quit their job immediately.

Married women would be hit hard by these barriers: About 8 in 10 women in the U.S. change their surnames after getting married, and the bill only allows birth certificates, not marriage certificates, as proof of identity so 69 million women have names that do not match their birth certificates.

We don’t yet have the technology to reconstitute someone already shoved through a wood chipper.
It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

I've been to Dilley, the "family residential center" I think he's referring to.

It's a jail. They're surrounded by barbed wire fences and armed guards. It's a jail.
Tom Homan spoke to local news about the children in his own town abducted by ICE: “First of all, the family is not in a jail. They’re in a family residential center, it’s an open air campus.”

Oh, ok.

It's not true that the four U.S. soldiers who recently died in Lithuania weren't honored by a sitting president. The problem is that it wasn't the U.S. president. It was the President of Lithuania. Trump couldn't be bothered with it.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "How damaging is it to your ability to recruit or build allies with others when they are worried that our leaders may be exposing them because of their gross negligence or their recklessness in handling information?"

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

With the death of Athol Fugard, the whole world is diminished. He lit candles. Now, we must ensure that we keep them lit.

So sorry to hear of the death of the great South African liberal playwright Athol Fugard. His plays were beacons of hope, courage and decency in the dark days of apartheid. Just going to see them performed in Johannesburg and Cape Town made you feel certain the darkness wouldn’t last forever.

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy.

Nonetheless, holy shit.

What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Ending support of US military equipment raises the question...why buy US military equipment. For decades, there was an implicit assumption that it bound the US to your security establishment i.e. you locked in US goods and received US services. This will reverberate way beyond Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump's team has ordered the termination of vital support for F-16 fighter jet jamming equipment that Ukraine has. What is important to understand is that this could deprive the Ukrainian Air Force of its most important air countermeasures.

I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.
