It's a little thing, but I'm pleased the bipartisan statements call it the Department of Defense, and not Trump's bullshit.
UPDATE: I added in the congressional response to the boat-strike section once I saw we had bipartisan, matching statements from both House and Senate Armed Services Committees. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...

For example, one thing that Sen Schiff has done to stand up to attacks on his people is voting to confirm several Trump judges and members of his administration, as recently as an AL district judge on 10/24/25.
“But amanda how is that standing up to attacks on his people” he does it while frowning

When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:
Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Parallel construction is when local cops get tips about drugs or whatever and carefully “construct” a pretense to come across a person and search them. The construction is done alongside (parallel) to a tip that comes from the Feds. It’s also like, you know, illegal under the 4th Amendment.
