Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass
Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scen...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

this is really the key insight. it's why the best attacks against them highlight that these violent, sadistic racists are not really able to coexist in society - they aren't just offensive, they're deeply off-putting: weirdos, creeps, etc. bsky.app/profile/junl...

I'm as furious as anyone about clear misuse of citizen soldiers, but let's be clear: The Alaska Air National Guard and Alaska Army National Guard (as well as the U.S. Coast Guard) are doing heroic work after the state got pummeled by Typhoon Halong. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
At least 30 rescued in Alaska floods as military teams rush to remote villages
Multiple search and rescue helicopters and planes from the state's Army and Air National Guard forces, along with Coast Guard units, were scrambled in the wake of typhoon-fueled flooding.

Right? Even veteran teammates were marveling. Freddie Freeman: "That was just so good from the start. Sometimes it takes an inning or two for someone to settle in. It was from the get-go."

Pulse check in Big D: Washington at Dallas, one of the NFL's great longtime rivalries, this weekend at AT&T Stadium. Get-in price on the secondary market (vividseats) is $21, cheapest on the Week 7 schedule. Whoa.

Worth noting and not for nothing: Dodgers starter Blake Snell last night became the first pitcher to face the minimum through eight innings in a postseason game since Don Larsen threw a perfect game in the 1956 World Series. 😳
