Like Bolton or not this is politically motivated

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news.

I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Fall is the annual start of “soaking season” in Pagosa Springs, bringing an increase in tourism that helps sustain the economy in the southwestern Colorado town. But historic flooding this week threatened infrastructure and caused millions of dollars in damage to some downtown homes and businesses.

Hot springs resorts in Pagosa avoid major flood damage, return to normal

It may be a few more days before the town’s free “hippie dip” hot springs are ready for soaking.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

It absolutely sounds like people could have died of dehydration in those cells. Water is the thing I'd give to my worst enemy.

I know Israel got used to being excused by the international community, but they had to know that if they let her out, this would sound bad.

Folks, the Israel Defense Forces, the most professional and moral military in the world:

Aftonbladet headline: “Greta Thunberg: ‘They kicked me every time the flag touched my face’
– Greta Thunberg on her days in Israeli captivity”

“Her red suitcase lies in the hall. ‘Whore Greta’ someone has written in large black letters. Around the text: an Israeli flag and an erect penis.

“The bag was confiscated by the Israeli military from the boat – and returned to her like this. She laughs.

“– They’re like five-year-olds!”

Greta Thunberg looks through the bag she got back after it was confiscated by Israeli police. The red bag is covered in childish scrawls of penises, the Israeli flag, and “whore GRETA”

“– They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.

“Greta laughs.

“– Then they ripped off my frog hat, threw it on the ground, stomped and kicked it, and kind of threw a tantrum.

“– They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore) and ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time.

“Every time someone looked up from the ground, they were knocked back down to the ground, Greta and the other Swedes recount. In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.

“– The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that.”

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

I really think we need to reconceptualize this shutdown as the last stand for the rule of law and Art I. Bring it to default if that’s what it takes. If Congress can’t assert the power of the purse, we are in “move to Portugal” territory of screwed.

Beau Baumann 🍏 @beaubaumann.bsky.social · 1d

This cannot just be about healthcare. The existing constitutional system hangs in the balance. The rule of law is now baked into this shutdown in a huge way.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.
