Amicus brief in support of stay pending appeal (not even at the Supreme Court!) is positively buckwild imo
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.

idk if this is why he lost in his specific race like he claims, but Will is 110% right here on the broader point.
I would argue pretty strenuously that overreliance on nonprofits for social services is, in fact, a centrist position at best. NGO world cloaks itself in progressivism by adhering to cultural signifiers of social justice. Endless land acknowledgements as they take public jobs from union workers.
you ran on a right wing stance as one of your major planks?
no wonder you lost so badly

"For me, and I think for others, too, Stoppard offered a kind of on-ramp into the canon, offering to make us comfortable enough among the Great Authors to have our own thoughts about them. His was an inclusive élitism, an invitation into a life of unabashed, unstoppable thinking."

It’s important to understand that Donald Trump likes war crimes because they remind him of what he enjoys about committing rape.

My President told me Jim Comey keeps eating his prosecutors so I asked how many prosecutors he has and he said he just goes to Mar-A-Lago and gets a new prosecutor afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding prosecutors to Jim Comey and then his Attorney General started crying.
The Justice Department could present a new indictment against James Comey to a grand jury as soon as this week.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

prison is the moderate position
If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?
And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

this student was aspiring to the right wing grievance payroll and forum shopped their way into this scenario. anything short of an A+ would result in the exact same outcome. even an A+ would have caused a weird tantrum like when bari weiss couldn't even get fired and went Victim of Woke Mode anyways
people who are taking issue with how the instructor handled this student’s (imo unacceptable) submission are missing the point entirely. revise and resubmit? give a low nonzero grade? why think any of *those* responses wouldn’t have sent the libsoftiktok machine in motion too?
having assigned reaction papers in many of my classes i look at this student’s essay and cannot glean what the content of the original assigned reading was, nor do i see how a reference to the Genesis creation story illuminates the argument of that assigned reading. I would have rejected this paper.

Even if we were at war with Venezuela, and even if the boat folks were smuggling drugs, that DOES NOT MAKE THEM COMBATANTS. I am begging people to consult international law experts. They're out there! They want to talk!
We weren’t (and at this hour still aren’t) at war with Venezuela so both strikes are just murder
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
