Jake Tapper and Maggie Haberman have book deals to sign they can’t be bothered with news
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.
Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

we need to bring back the concept of “noblesse oblige”
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

it’s a historic accusation, and boy oh boy do i wish i could still believe that it would ever amount to anything, or that there would ever be any consequences. Up until 2016, I would have. But now? I’m begging people with power, PLEASE prove me wrong. Do *something*!
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."

One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:
building more housing lowers rents

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

We fucking ignored, ridiculed, and ultimately failed those suffering from a disease that, when contracted, was known to be a death sentence, with the only question being when and how exactly one would die. The rest of your life, plagued by fear and bigotry. And Trump is doing it again.

*We found that the Covid shot totally killed some kids, pinkie swear,* they said while providing no means whatsoever to verify such a finding.
This is so dangerous and just makes me sad — Covid absolutely sucks and the vaccines work really well. The officials claiming deaths resulted from the vax are hiding all the data and info about the cases, and there’s no way to know if what they’re saying is true
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.
