if an overwhelming majority of your coalition (and a shockingly large percentage of people not in your coalition!) is asking for the abolition of ICE and you can‘t even dig in on “they should never be masked“ how do you even manage to get out of bed in the morning let alone look in a mirror

“Thermonuclear Rivalry” is right there.
@nuclearanthro.bsky.social I feel the need to tell you that in this series of videos I've been watching about how hard it is to predict the future, the presenter has offered the idea of a romance story about the two Nuclear Briefcase guys (American and Russian) falling in love at a summit.

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

I deleted this because there's room to quibble on "any" and because writing out my point-by-point assessments of each of Murphy's 5 restrictions took like 1000+ characters, and if it can't fit in a single post it's dead on social media.
Really, I just think the moment demands more than this.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
