This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

One thing I just thought of. The Prop 50 campaign was, as Newsom said, 90 days. Why can't all elections be that length?

Feels symbolic that a Confederate statue first installed in 1901, at the peak of the consolidation of the Jim Crow system—when the states of the former Confederacy were in the midst of revising their constitutions to disfranchise Black citizens—has been reinstalled.

American Duterte might want to watch himself. (Yeah, right, as if he has the ability to control himself.) Philippine Duterte is on trial right now for this same thing.
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

the dork in question is Jed Rubenfeld, husband of Amy Chua of Tiger Mom fame, who also mentored Vance. The fix was in, and it was most likely a very gentle 'debate'
At Yale Political Union, 72% of students voted against Curtis Yarvin’s resolution to “end the democratic experiment.”
He debated a Yale Law professor on the question.
New rule: Anyone who “debates” Yarvin is an even bigger and more desperate dork.
