Wilhoit’s Law remains undefeated: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

There's a lot going on, and immigration law is notoriously labyrinthine. But it's still wild both that (1) the Trump administration is trying to treat millions of non-citizens who have lived here for years/decades as "arriving aliens"; & (2) *hundreds* of courts have (almost unanimously!) said "no":

Shoutout nerds we did it again
Also ps @minakimes.bsky.social the reason Yale pulled the huge comeback and won 43-42 in regulation is because they went for two after scoring the TD to make it 42-20 and hit it

The debate isn’t “moderate vs. progressive.” It’s “accommodate a corrupt system vs. confront it.” Voters aren’t asking for moderation—they’re asking: who will clean this up?

Horrifying.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

I mourn for Charlie Kirk’s family. I didn’t agree with almost anything he said, but he had a right to go on a work trip and return safely to his wife and two young children.
Like all Americans, he deserved to be safe from gun violence.

It seems fairly clear that Donald Trump thinks gravity makes water flow "down" from the Pacific Northwest to California, because there is absolutely no system that connects the water in Oregon and Washington to Southern California.
Trump: "I've been fighting with them for a long time about allowing the water to come down from the pacific northwest. We actually opened up that water pretty strongly, we got a lot of opposition from the governor. We opened it up anyway and the water is coming down...they've gotta allow full water"
