Nate Silver insults Heather Cox Richardson in a desperate bid to steal a fraction of the attention she's earned. But my favorite Silver tweet remains this 2022 classic:

Hegseth remains under intense scrutiny following reports that he gave a spoken order to kill survivors of a boat strike, an allegation that has since labeled Hegseth the “Secretary of War Crimes.”
But it appears that amid the fallout, Hegseth has found a potential fall guy: Admiral Frank Bradley.

Cruelty has always been the goal.
They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Even if the Republican controlled federal government had allowed the $6 billion contingency reserve to be used to fund SNAP benefits it wouldn’t have been enough to completely fund SNAP

When people say Alaska feels like a different country, this is why. There are so many places outside of Anchorage and Fairbanks that are truly "remote." The only reason why they are even close to modern living is due to crucial logistical links like EAS and barges, if they are lucky.
When you work for a small airline (Part 135) in Alaska, as I did for many years, you have a whole different understanding of #aviation then most people do in the US. It truly is essential in that state, like nowhere else in the country.
