Seems like a lot of posters are burying the ledes of their posts in threads or continuations of posts. Doesn't help.

I hope a reporter can find out how much Henry donated! Or if he donated at all!

Women and persons of color will save the Constitution of the U.S., but I don't know where that will be.

What could a man of faith become after leaving politics? A carpenter, Jimmy Carter.

Wrote this at the other place after a mass shooting in the United States. Can't remember which one. There have been so many since.

Section 1 of the 14th Amendment has a readability of between grades 12 and 16, depending on the word processing app that’s used to analyze the text. That means MAGA can’t understand citizenship. (Readability (i.e., the fox index) is the Democratic messaging problem. The GOP knows that well.)

For example, Teams play on the Day 1 or Day 2 of a month, then play on Day 12, then play on Day 22 or Day 23.
This schedule takes the place of the bye week. This schedule avoids short weeks for prep and promotes physical recovery. /2

Thursday Night NFL football is [fill in the blank]. If there must be Thursday Night football, the NFL should schedule teams this way: Teams play on Sunday or Monday, then play the Thursday 11 or 10 days later, then play the Sunday or Monday 10 or 11 days later. /1

In elections, communication is key. The Dem message appeals to people who can and do think critically for themselves. The Dem message includes Who, What, Where, When, How, and Why. The other message rarely even includes What, and none of the other stuff.

With RFK Jr at HHS, there will be explosions of 'rhoid and 'roid rage in a few short months. They may co-occur or separately. Then all the other maladies that science and medicine have defeated will re-emerge. That's what happens when the ass is in charge.

Once upon a time, the news cycle closed on Friday evening. We had to wait until Monday to learn the newest damage that politics was doing. These days, there is no weekend solace.

Ok, some thoughts:
1) this will be one of the biggest civil-military crises this country has ever seen.
2) it will have drastic negative effects on our military readiness and effectiveness
I’ll expand a little on each point below.

I don’t even have a way to say how bad this would be. I will need some time to collect my thoughts from where this grenade just sent them.
Not that I didn’t expect politicization of the top ranks, but I didn’t think it would be this fast and furious.
Can’t tell you how bad this would be
