Ong Tucker is such an A Hole. “I don't know the answer, I'm just...” saying BS things
On today's Tucker Carlson show, he makes clear that he believes that the US fought on the wrong side in World War II. In particular he says that the UK was mistaken to declare war on Germany just because it invaded Poland. And he has lots of sympathy for Herr Hitler throughout.

Someone shoots 2 National Guards:
Trump: IT’S A NATIONAL EMERGENCY. BAN ALL AFGHANS.
Someone shoots and kills a room full of school kids and teachers:
Trump: WE HAVE TO GET OVER IT. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

@nytimes.com in an article about the peace plan floated last week: “while Mr. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, embraced it.”
Sounds like the Press Secretary is important in decision making and not just a spokesperson.

I learned this in US Army Basic Training.
If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Has Larry Summers skipped the country yet?
THIS IS BIG
For non-academics who might not understand why:
1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house
2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

I have sadly canceled our @washingtonpost.com subscription. I started with box scores of the sad Washington Senators and always looked forward to reading Shirley Povich. But the paper of Ben Bradlee and Martin Baron is no more.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
