Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

"Surely a quick, violent, successful war of aggression is just what the ruler needs to shore up his legitimacy," said just about every failed monarch in history shortly before invading Serbia.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

As r the networks and their parents who are ALL tightly bounded into the regulatory framework that Trump has used to extract settlements. Melania's beak will get v wet.

Reminder that these towns are the homes of the people the Russians claim to be "liberating".
The head of the russian occupation administration in Donetsk Oblast said russia won’t be restoring some Ukrainian towns they destroyed, instead turning them into some kind of entertainment for future russian generations, so “they can understand the revival of Nazism.”

It really is a horrifically perverse irony of this invasion that the communities that have borne the worst of the Russian campaigns of utter massacre and destruction have been those that ~15 years ago were among the most Russophile communities in Ukraine.

This is much more significant than a naval blockade. It violates a Venezuela's sovereign airspace. A commercial no-fly zone instituted by the US is an invasion and declaration of war.

Considering that horses are dangerous and riders are very regularly seriously injured, I wonder what the direct overall injury/death rate looked like when everyone in our society had to constantly ride/drive horses, versus the injury/death rate from cars today?

There was never really a point where horse usage reached anywhere near the saturation of car usage, so it's hard to compare. At the highest point there was about one horse for every five Americans. People just walked a lot!

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

Trump 2.0 is a coalition of malevolent authoritarian ideologues and lazy, get-rich-quick scammers. Some see Russian authoritarianism as a model to be emulated, others see Russia as their ticket to easy money. As far as Putin is concerned, they’re both just useful idiots.
1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

Wild to see Whelan say this, but to be clear the OLC's immunity powers are fake anyway. The "golden shield" idea was made up to justify rampant criminality in the GWBush years, then adopted by Holder to excuse Obama's inaction. It's not in the Constitution, statute, or precedent. It's not the law.
Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.
