To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Once again; you can't moderate your way to neutralizing an issue like immigration.
It's fundamentally just racist reaction. Nothing is ever enough because what's demanded—ethnonationalist homogeneity—is completely unavailable in modern conditions. There will *always* be a basis for more demagoguery

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

For almost two weeks an obvious question in this story has been: What exactly *was* the message that the Trump DOJ sent to Polis and the Colorado Department of Corrections on Nov. 12?
A bipartisan group of local Colorado election officials again made an impassioned, and at times emotional, plea to Gov. Jared Polis to promptly and publicly reject a request from President Trump’s administration to transfer Tina Peters to federal custody.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

If the tone of alarm in this Clerks Association letter wasn't enough, Denver Clerk Paul López just put out a statement referring to a "potential deal" to transfer Peters. Very unclear what's going on and neither the governor's office nor DOC have provided much clarity in response to questions today.

4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

It is not easy to build data centers here on Earth. There is not enough capacity on our energy grid to power everything. That may get worse as people demand more and more AI. So a couple companies, including Google, have now announced that they are exploring building data centers in space.

This kind of honesty is much more informative and clarifying than pretending to have strategic disagreements with progressives on how to achieve shared policy goals; I only wish the public would get the same honesty from the elite center-left circles that wholly sustain this person's work.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.
