Samantha Hancox-Li is the most essential thinker of 2025 and anything that supports her is good.
Something that definitely happened last year is that @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com got on CNN. It's true—we have video.

And, that happened because of an article she landed in a larger publication.

good fucking lord entry level nonprofit public interest work, including public defenders, in my state routinely start around $70k
the median salary for a barrister for their first two years, after costs, is about nineteen thousand pounds ($25,000). Most of them live in London.

doesn't even have a medal of honor, is he even decorated?
They are in the correct order. In case you are wondering the top row is:
Defense Superior Service Medal
Legion of Merit
Distinguished Flying Cross
Air Medal
Navy Commendation Medal

At 10 over 75? Non-zero chance his 'trial' is a note read aloud next to a burn pit.

You know the joke that in some extreme circumstances you 'stop being biology and start being physics'?

There is a point where your politics stop being law and start being history. It is not a good place to be.

The problem with this article is they asked too many lawyers and not enough historians.

As a historian, I'd say the legality of Trump's immunity and pardons depends on how he leaves office.

At 40 over 55 approval? He's immune.

At 25 over 65? He's probably not immune & self-pardons aren't legal.

Never forget how ass out Ben was to defend Nuzzi as news of her scandals broke.
Never forget who dove head first into defending this. Remember them every time we hear about a kid who dies of whooping cough.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

also Kelly's like the old school kind of astronaut in the sense of "decorated hotshot combat pilot" type, which is what America most idealizes
Astronaut and firefighter are probably the last two jobs where 100% of the American population thinks "those guys are pretty cool."

I think very few people in modernity realize how a large amount of all human labor, ever, in the entire history of h. sapiens, was devoted to JUST keeping your immediate family clothed
this is true of basically all fabric tbh. it's ridiculous that we wear clothing when you think about it

Important to note you need a United States Attorney to do this and the Trump administration cannot legally appoint one.
Important to note that DOJ could re-file even though it's outside the statute of limitations. There's a savings statute that allows a new indictment after the SOL if an indictment w/in the SOL is dismissed "for any reason." I'm not sure if that applies where the first indictment was ultra vires.

The historical reality is that in 1940, fully 45 percent of American families squatted on chamber pots and emptied them into outhouses in the morning, because their homes did not have indoor plumbing.

America was a vastly poorer country in 1939. Nostalgia is just that; nostalgia.

Because the Liberal Currents writers have actual values, they are, almost uniquely among media, able to react our fascist moment not by asking “What if all our beliefs are wrong? What if we went too far with all the democracy and fairness stuff?” but by asking “How do we beat the fascists again?”

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

like MTG isn't wrong: it's going to suck to be a republican in the 2026 election and it's going to suck to be a republican in what could be a historically small minority while Trump is going even more insane in the lame duck
November 22, 2025 at 1:23 AM
lol so her position is basically "It's going to suck because Trump will run someone against me. I will, of course, beat them, Republicans will lose in 2026, and Trump will get impeached, and I'm supposed to be in the minority and defend him? No thanks"
