This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

It's true though. I tried to muster up a lot of outrage about this but I'm mostly fine with it so long as we can tear it down and rebuild it. It'll be a nice project for the next President and their partner to take on.

JUST IN: Rep. Ronny Jackson's lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom over California's redistricting effort was thrown out today by Judge Matt Kacsmaryk.

Jackson failed to show he faced a cognizable injury from CA's redistricting plan, Kacsmaryk says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hadn't heard that, but def seems plausible they have been doing that in other cities.

Yeah, it was emailed to a fairly eclectic list is my understanding.

I believe the media were informed about a Kristi Noem press conference tomorrow in the Twin Cities, yes. Not secret, just not widely advertised.

If I were guessing I would guess the USCIS building on Marquette in downtown but who knows with these clowns. Have past pre-invasion press conferences been held at USCIS buildings?

Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government

Scott Nover @scottnover.bsky.social · 11h

The far-right conspiracy site Infowars says it has signed the Pentagon press agreement and says Breanna Morello will be joining the 'new media' press corps covering the Defense Department.

"I won't be moving to D.C. of course—thank god," she caveats. x.com/infowars/sta...

INFOWARS on X: "🚨MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Breanna Morello will be covering news at the Pentagon as a part of the Pentagon Press Corps! The new Pentagon Press Corps consists of over 60 journalists that will combat the fake news stranglehold of legacy media. This is great news for truth and https://t.co/id0VtguTIW" / X

Why Underachievers Dominate Secret Police Organizations: Evidence from Autocratic Argentina
Adam Scharpf and Christian Gläßel

Autocrats depend on a capable secret police. Anecdotal evidence, however, often characterizes agents as surprisingly mediocre in skill and intellect. To explain this puzzle, this article focuses on the career incentives underachieving individuals face in the regular security apparatus. Low-performing officials in hierarchical organizations have little chance of being promoted or filling lucrative positions. To salvage their careers, these officials are willing to undertake burdensome secret police work. Using data on all 4,287 officers who served in autocratic Argentina (1975-83), we study biographic differences between secret police agents and the entire recruitment pool. We find that low-achieving officers were stuck within the regime hierarchy, threatened with discharge, and thus more likely to join the secret police for future benefits. The study demonstrates how state bureaucracies breed mundane career concerns that produce willing enforcers and cement violent regimes. This has implications for the understanding of autocratic consolidation and democratic breakdown.

Abolish statutory age of consent. Focus exclusively on capacity to consent (a test of rational understanding and voluntariness for each person) and strict enforcement of the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) against all coercion/exploitation, regardless of age.

Idk man I just have trouble believing that a man who didn't know he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest (under the most generous interpretation) and then didn't know the meaning behind his hastily-obtained cover-up tattoo is actually gonna do the research required to craft effective healthcare policy.

I don't think you can underestimate the long-term damage the NBA is specifically at risk of doing to itself by being in league w gambling. The more it gets ingrained in ppl that what they're seeing might not be legitimate, the more ppl are gonna view the whole product as fake.

Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.
