“In a rare split with the Trump administration, GOP-led panels in the House and Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.”
Hegseth appears to have crossed a line even the GOP can’t ignore.

Juan Epstein, beware.
ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

The Supreme Court upholds decision requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax.
Good. His slanderous statements caused unnecessary trauma.
Pay up.
Then start advocating for better gun control.
It’s long past time.

Occasional reminder that the "distracted boyfriend" meme has its origins in a pre-WW1 Punch cartoon about Anglo-German relations...

I have zero sympathy for Nigel Farage’s feelings. That rat bastard wants to deport half my wife’s coworkers, my dentist, several friends, my neighbours, a gal who works in my pub, and like 40 people from my church

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

By coincidence, one of the First World War service records I'm looking at today is a legit Tough Guy. A 9-year veteran of the Royal Navy whose profession is "athletic instructor" volunteered as a private in the Canadian Expeditionary force on Aug 12, 1914. Tattooed all over his arms and chest.

On this day, 110 years ago, my great grandad and his mates from 10th Battalion Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) went over the top for the first time at Loos. He, with too many of his mates, is commemorated on the Loos Memorial to the Missing.

Russia doesn’t want peace and there will be no solution to the war until enough variables change to make peace a preferred option for Russia. The world needs to change those variables to pressure Russia, or else there will be no peace.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Let me guess: They are going to take everyone’s citizenship away and make people beg to get it reinstated with fees, bribes, and religious oaths to Trump
Birthright citizenship is a "longstanding custom" in the same way that freedom of speech is a longstanding custom (they are both explicitly guaranteed by the text of the Constitution)
not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?
