Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

I genuinely do not understand why ‘RFK Jr wants to kill thousands of American kids and make millions sick’ isn’t in the news basically every day. Also, why are Republicans OK with killing kids? Is it because they’re so busy covering for pedophiles that they’ve given up on kids entirely?
Breaking news: Federal vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary RFK Jr. are planning to vote on ending the practice of vaccinating all newborns for hepatitis B and to examine whether shots are behind the rise of allergies and autoimmune disorders.
RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

Hegseth told soldiers under his command in Iraq to ignore legal advice about when they were permitted to kill enemy combatants under their rules of engagement. The anecdote is contained in a book Hegseth wrote last year in which he sharply disparaged the Geneva and Hague Conventions.

In hindsight, excitedly releasing the video was probably a misstep
There’s something visceral about blowing up defenseless men clinging for life in the ocean
I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours
I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

An interesting unrelated "factoid" I uncovered in my research today: in 1923, the Chicago Police superintendent estimated 60% of his officers had been corrupted by bootleggers and gangsters. Anyway.
Chicago spent more than $212 million on overtime for members of the Chicago Police Department in the first 10 months of 2025 — 6% more than the amount Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to set aside for police overtime in all of 2026, records show. https://to.wttw.com/49QGPU6
Chicago Spent $212M on Police Overtime So Far This Year, 6% More Than New Limit Set for 2026
Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling told the Chicago City Council on Nov. 5 that he was confident that CPD would be able to spend no more than $200 million on overtime in 2026.

it sure seems like what happened is that the admin told hegseth and maybe rubio they could do whatever they wanted with the military, but do not intend to offer any cover, which is why, if you are enlisted, you need to pay close attention to whether your orders coming from command are actually legal
everyone is correctly noting that they’re throwing bradley under the bus, but they’re also throwing hegseth under it
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.
