So hard to earn, so easily burned

(1/X) The thing about the creepy sex/bad poetry in Lizza's stories about Nuzzi is...they sound like a courtroom defense, the daddy issues defense.

Trump has trampled the Constitution, trashed the economy, and ceded the next century to China. Someone in my replies on Bluesky used the word "Latinx". I have never felt more politically homeless.

Is Cocaine Having a Moment?

The powdered amphetamine seems to be enjoying a cultural cachet it hasn't had since the days of Mork & Mindy, early Aerosmith, and Lawrence Taylor's 1986 season.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

“In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

I know this is correct, but it’s also really hard to sit with when those of us who STUDIED FUCKING HISTORY WERE SOUNDING THE ALARM THE ENTIRE TIME SINCE GUANTANAMO OPENED UP AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.”

The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

I think its important to point out that Graham, a dog that was pretty clearly leashed by Trump, breaking from him (amid the aftermath of a terrorist attack) is probably a big deal for where Trump stands and where the real GOP is going as they barrel towards a potential mid-term loss.
Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

This is why none of these unauthorized strikes should have ever happened without a proper debate and vote in Congress. The whole administration has gone rogue, and the legal issues are piling up on top of each other.

Hegseth wasn't chosen as merely a Fox News buffoon who then bumbles his way into war crimes out of machismo incompetence. He was chosen specifically because he is, and has been for a long time, a proud, open, and explicit advocate of war crimes as a good thing we should do.
