Whether it's Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Donald Trump calling for the execution of Democrats, both presidents engaged in norm-busting behavior.

Trump and Witkoff want to give Ukraine to Russia and then get paid for it by Russian oligarchs. But what do they mean?

It is not true that all the work for the peace plan was done in Moscow. We google translated it to English all by ourselves.

Congressional Democrats have implored members of the military to reject any illegal orders they may receive. President Trump has responded with Truth Social posts reading "HANG THEM" and “punishable by DEATH.” Weary voters just want both sides to turn down the temperature.

Why doesn’t Platner come clean? The answer is that there’s something more authentic about being seen as a “working-class Mainer” than in being seen as the privileged son of a well-off family who seems to have failed to live up to expectations.

Why doesn’t Platner come clean? More importantly is this: The authenticity that comes from appropriating the culture of the working class seems to satisfy the needs of elites outside the Democratic Party who seek to reshape it.

So the problem isn’t only that Platner is a man born of good fortune who has successfully co-opted the image of the working-class man. It’s also that this image is being exploited by elites who want to move the Democrats away from being a party of multiracial pluralism.

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

This is a wild thing for someone who calls themselves an intellectual to say with a straight face to the New York Times. This is not a historical account based on an understanding of the history--this is just pure far right, Christian Nationalist propaganda/conspiracy theory ca. 1962-1980s.

This is the same basic argument made by today’s “anti-wokes” who think Marxist liberals are brainwashing Americans into believing in human equality and empathy, thereby ushering in the death of Western civilization. It was published in 1957 in Right, a magazine published by a neo-Nazi.

Dang - how bad was the Border Patrol invasion in North Carolina?

None other than Thom Tillis himself is blasting DHS for gross overreach, and demanding lists of those detained, property damage caused by CBP agents, and their plan for restitution.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

An LLM can NEVER be used when both "receives untrusted input" and "can do a bad thing" are both true.

This means that "AI agents" can NEVER be made safe. This is Microsoft hackery broken sandboxing and blame the user security for a feature that shouldn't exist at all.
Whoops! Microsoft’s new Windows AI agent platform lets in malware

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.

Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

Q: Ambassador Huckabee had a meeting with Jonathan Pollard, a former US citizen who was convicted and spent 3 decades in jail for selling state secrets to Israel. Did the WH know that meeting was happening?
