“Kill all boats no matter where they are going or what they possess” isn’t a strategy, it’s just a killing spree
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?
TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing
WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US?
COTTON: I'm not just comfortable with it -- I want to continue it

Fascinating article. What leaps out is most cis women understand how femininity is defined -- and we choose to embody all, part, or none of it. But the inability to even define masculinity as anything other than the opposite of femininity has proven destructive to men and women alike
ICYMI: "Masculinity!" Is it Man's eternal essence? A euphemism for "patriarchy?" A scam to sell shaving products? (It's definitely that last one, actually.) I got to talk to trans feminists Talia Bhatt, Raewyn Connell and Thomas Page McBee about what it all means: xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

they ordered Trump to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return, knowing that gave him the option of simply pretending to. but my guess is that the administration’s shamelessness forced their hand. Trump isn’t really playing along, he’s mocking the entire concept

For the better part of the last decade, a great many people have tried really hard to make Donald Trump make sense in some broader political and historical context. But at the end of the day he's exactly what he appears to be: a rich psycho who's failed at everything in life except self-promotion.

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.

Brian's opinions are almost always on point, but this one hits the bullseye by articulating exactly what is rankling so many level-headed Dem voters. We understand the limitations of minority status, but are infuriated by the timidity and misdirected focus of most Dem politicians
If they did just a few things, and changed affect just enough, to convey that they get it, constituents wouldn’t be burning up their phone lines and they’d have no reason to go whine to Axios about their voters. This is an attempt to sketch out what that might look like.
