Is anyone tracking these in Congress? @raskin.house.gov you've made good use in the past of publicly airing clips of anti-Constitutional zealots self-incriminating on video
He is promising, on camera, to break his oath to the Constitution by illegally and unconstitutionally usurping the exclusive authority of Congress. Sprinkle in a little 'blowing up the Union' to boot
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

“biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends” is correct
This is a model for what actual masculinity should be. Men don’t need to spend more time in caves beating their chests with other men; they need to take their daughters to a meaningful thing and talk to them about it. Relatedly I think the biggest cure for toxic masculinity is platonic women friends
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Where Guaidó at
Agree on the politics, but important to realize Rubio et al believe Venezuela regime change is the key to transforming the whole region, not least Cuba. Very much like neocons and Iraq, very parallel. This is a major geopolitical aim for them, much deeper than wag the dog
Seems like Trump and his groupies think starting a regime change war of conquest out of nowhere is a political masterstroke that will get them back on the front foot, but I don’t think that’s how it will play out.

Zoinks!
The UN Charter prohibits *threats* to use force when the use of force would itself be unlawful. The referenced piece (in the new issue of the Virginia Journal of Int'l Law) argues that threats to use such force as would constitute aggression should be treated as very serious violations of int'l law.

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

It's frustrating when communications have to go through dozens of hands and be vetted and re-vetted, etc. Lots of diplomats get frustrated by that process! But the alternative isn't "let Steve Witkoff work out a deal over drinks with a random Russian oligarch."

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
