Tonight is clear evidence this country is really and truly done as the shining city. I just have to make it a few more years to retire from federal service. After that, we will have the flexibility to look at exit options (to the extent any decent country will still accept Americans).

Can’t decide which is the more relevant feature of this video: the actual lesson on tariffs or the barely conscious students (voters) the lesson is being taught to.

I’ve disagreed with many US foreign policy positions over the years but never have I so vehemently wanted what we were attempting to achieve to abjectly fail. Europe and 🇺🇦 are simply right and we, while not 🇷🇺 (yet), are the bad guys here.

Our foreign policy is “you’re not my friend anymore unless you do say you’re really sorry and mean it.”

Yes there is nuance in every comparison, but on the top line issue of “is 🇺🇦 defending itself pointless/hopeless”, this is 100% right.

Crass but a directionally accurate depiction of where the Trump administration is taking our foreign policy.

I have worn the 🇺🇸 flag to work everyday for closing on 2 decades and, whatever else has been going on, that has always been a source of pride. We have never had a perfect foreign policy, but between the UN vote on Monday and the farce in the Oval today, I am just plain ashamed.

As a #JAG, this is stunning. We are always quick to make clear that JAGs recommend and commanders decide, but most commanders take the advice of their JAGs seriously. If (as I assume) the new TJAGs are political loyalists, it will be an extremely alarming sign for what this admin intends for #DoD.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on?
A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Firing the Chairman is not great but firing all three service TJAGs is absolutely an ominous sign for how this admin intends to test the limits of using DoD.

When I get back to military justice, I genuinely can’t wait for the first alcohol or sexual misconduct-related investigation where the member tries to work in the example of SecDef to a rehabilitative potential argument.

Imagine the message to America's enemies that the Secretary of Defense - normally a position filled by overwhelming bipartisan consensus - has squeaked into his job with a Vance tie-breaker after repeated concerns about his character and lack of experience.

The man now charged to organize, train, equip, and lead our armed forces through an era of renewed great power competition. What could go wrong? Jesus, this is just embarrassing.

I’m in favor of increasing the control/regularity of the process of coming to the US in a way that balances humanity/national interest, but terrorizing elementary age kids to make a political point and spread fear (given ICE would know the apprehensions would be blocked) is just disgusting.

This is an excellent take.
Watching 28 Days Later the first time in many years and I forgot how huge the story is I completely forgot all of this. Even it being shot on DV-cam with "terrible quality" is perfect. Iconic scenes. Really really lives up to its role as reinventing zombie horror for modern era.

Say what you will, but “Luigi Mangione” is a great assassin name. It would raise no eyebrows as the name of anarchist turned killer of plutocrats at the turn of the 20th century.
