This was one of the most interesting developments today. Yesterday, JD told the Senate (at a lunch, if I understand the timing, that left him out of a key Iran war planning meeting) Big Ugly had to be done by August. Then Susie Wiles came in and said, July 4.

Kaine first reviews the bios of the people for whom bases were renamed. Then asks why Whiskey Pete why he didn't like their service. Then asks what families said when Hegseth told the families. He claimed Army informed them. Nope, Kaine says, the press did. Several family members were in the room.

Angus: Why are you going thru gymnastics. You slipped, when you said we were returning base names to original names. I don't understand motivation to restore names who took up arms against US. Who is urging you to do this?

Yiles, the latest iteration of “the 2024 election was stolen” conspiracy crap is an order of magnitude more bonkers than the last. And, unsurprisingly, echos almost perfectly the bonkers stuff from 2020, with the parties reversed. Just stop.

Looking at the western English speaking world it’s hard not to conclude that a small but powerful part of the population has developed a full-on psychosis brought about by the latterday visibility of trans people. The abundant evidence that humans are not strictly unalterably binary has set in […]

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1
