Re-reading Justice Robert H. Jackson's famous speech on the dangerous discretion of federal prosecutors in light of the dubious indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This section stood out. www.roberthjackson.org/speech-and-w...

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Live, Laugh, Let them fight

One should not interrupt a leopard while it is feasting.

With the country descending into fascism, it's the perfect time for me to plug my new book on the left's cancel culture problem.

Strong "fuck you, make me" energy

Oregon’s last two weekends of baseball provided unforgettable memories. #GoDucks🦆⚾️ #DailyEmerald

Elon Musk discovers Trump doesn’t stay bought

I spent time in Seminole, Texas, after a deadly measles outbreak tore through. I came back with a story about anti-vaccine activists who exploited the crisis, outmatched doctors and public health officials working to contain it — and a community left to bear the cost. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

The games may be done, but this season will long be remembered - 2025 #Version7. A special group. 📰 by @GoDucksMoseley tinyurl.com/26qgsogr #GoDucks

#MorningVibe Have a tissue handy. @harvard.edu honoring Latin EGOT, Rita Moreno by having 2 international student artists performing for her is a beam of hope that somewhere, there’s still A PLACE FOR US. #ImmigrantsMakeAmerica

Scientist say it is unlikely that Joe Biden was executed and replaced by clones. But at this Imagine Dragons concert, they aren’t so sure.

End the interview right there

The Ducks couldn’t overcome two Cydney Sanders home runs. 😔 #GoDucks🦆🥎 #DailyEmerald

Who could’ve expected this? Even Elon realizes his name is a liability now, but the truth is that he’s inextricable from Trump. Elon Musk *is* the GOP and we shouldn’t let Republican leadership pretend otherwise.

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

Trump repost on Truth Social: “There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference.”

Cal Poly dealt the final blows of Saturday’s back-and-forth affair to end Oregon’s season. 😔 #GoDucks🦆⚾️ Kudos to #DailyEmerald Sports Editor Brady Ruth for his great coverage all season.

The Ducks walked off the Rebels to earn the chance to play another game in Oklahoma City. #GoDucks🦆🥎 #DailyEmerald

A controversial call in the eighth inning proved to be a pivotal turning point as the Ducks got sent to the elimination game. #GoDucks🦆⚾️ #DailyEmerald

Phenomenal piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social here. (Gift link)

"Some references include 'oaicite' attached to URLs — a definitive sign that the research was collected using artificial intelligence. The presence of 'oaicite' is a marker indicating use of OpenAI, a U.S. artificial intelligence company."

Shadow President and mass deportation architect-in-chief Stephen Miller reportedly berated immigration officials for not being brutal enough in their mass deportation agenda. He wants a staggering 3,000 people arrested a day — or else: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/stephen-mi...

One core task of this moment will be to fully capture the cruelty and violence (yes, violence) this man unleashed upon the world -- and the disdain for humanity upon which it rests.

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

It’s great that Trump entrusted so much power in a mentally unstable drug addict, nothing could have possibly gone wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

History will demand to know why Americans just let him walk off into the sunset. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

How would your high school’s mascot fare? #DailyEmerald #GoDucks🦆👟 ❤️✍️

For Oregon track and field, in-state talent has been a boon. The process runs through the OSAA Championships. #GoDucks👟 #DailyEmerald

Oregon’s elite talent continues to be rewarded. #GoDucks🦆 #DailyEmerald

Begging so-called reporters to realize that you don't have to take stated motivations at face value, which is usually something kids learn shortly after object permanence

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

now is the time for universities to announce that they collectively will not disenroll any international student who has their visa revoked, and that they will ensure remote degree completion is possible

Just like Trump fought pedophilia by teaming up with Jeffrey Epstein, he's now cleaning up the crypto industry by selling his own meme coin as president. But the Left is too stupid to understand this level of four-dimensional chess. by Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec

What should Democrats do to appeal to working-class men in middle America? Caitlin Flanagan and Pamela Paul drop by to explain.

I spent ten years attacking universities as illiberal and overly woke. Now that the Trump administration is using my rhetoric to destroy American science and higher education, I am horrified but not horrified enough to apologize.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

I’ll say it again - when *any* politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”
