@sturdyalex.bsky.social Christopher Hitchens once said to Sean Hannity “you give me the awful impression, I hate to have to say it, of someone who hasn’t read any of the arguments against your position ever.“

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:

“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 10d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Jokes like this don’t work when your own live show includes a lie. Maybe get a correction and apology on the record before moving forward.

Chief Justice John Roberts has led the Supreme Court for 20 years now.

In that time, his Republican-appointed majority has completely transformed America and its politics, with many of its most destructive opinions written by Roberts himself.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it

"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Oh huh, weird, I could swear I read this same Supreme Court three months ago rule that an injunction against the president‘s prerogatives is inherently harmful to our constitutional design

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS punts in the Lisa Cook case, deferring resolution of Trump’s emergency application seeking to remove Cook from the Federal Reserve Board pending argument on the application in January 2026.

Cook stays on the Board for now:

A people who are tolerant of a couple innocent fishermen drone-struck here, a couple U.S. citizens wrongfully arrested or even deported there, a couple immigrants shot or brutally beaten, are going to be tolerant of more, and more, and more, until suddenly we're in "how could we have" territory

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

NPR is whitewashing Charlie Kirk, reporting minutes ago that he "had critics" without a mention of his racism, misogyny, and hate-mongering.
Yes, Kirk created a large organization promoting conservatism to young people, but tell the rounded facts about what he said and did.

Across the political spectrum, our public debate over the murder of Charlie Kirk is missing the real moral issues and their long-term implications for freedom.
