"Shifting from the FBI,which must adhere to written rules developed over decades in the wake of past abuses,to DHS frees you from a great many strictures on how you investigate people. Shifting from FBI to DHS shifts you from a legalized culture to thug culture." www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/05/p...

Missed this a few days ago, Vice Admiral Frank Bradley selected to head SOCOM. I don't know anything about him, but his bios and articles about him make him look like a great choice. A Naval Postgraduate School physics alum, too. news.usni.org/2025/06/03/t...

what sucks about "Abundance" discourse is that the movement is a trojan horse - a way to smuggle bad ideas about tech, anti-labor, crypto etc into Dem politics by wrapping them inside normal and fine ideas about housing, green energy, transit etc.

8th Cir. holds that, even though it could constitute deadly force and even though it violated police procedure to tase a man on a fence causing him to fall and sever his spine, the officer could not reasonably have known not to do that in 2018. QI for officer. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/25/06...

Josh is quite correct here. For space launch, there's really no immediate term option to use a different provider. There are more marginal things that could be cut fast, like the intent to move FAA radar comms to Starlink instead of Verizon fiber (a stupid, pure grift idea from the start)

Just now at SCOTUS, Mexico lost its case trying to sue gun manufactures. The court unanimously ruled that Mexico's suit is barred by the Protect Law Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). I wrote an entire CHAPTER about the PLCAA in my book, and why it was one of the law we desperately need to repeal.

My mother had to have this procedure when it was discovered my baby brother didn’t have a cranium. It was her second loss of a baby with a neural tube defect. But she developed an infection and had to be rushed in for an emergency hysterectomy. These men are going to pay for being dead eyed ghouls.

On Afghanistan, the Trump admin has in recent weeks: 1) Indicated that TPS is terminated, citing supposed improvements there 2) Moved tonight to install a travel ban, citing natsec risks So: Has Afghanistan improved? Or, is it too dangerous to allow in allies? How do those views coexist?

I cannot stress enough, this is Trump making your kids tuition at any institution more expensive by scaring away international students who pay full-freight and thus subsidize US students' tuition. That's how Dems should attack: Trump wants college to be more expensive. Trump take college.

MORE: Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei categorically rejected the US nuclear proposal because the proposal would require Iran to eventually halt all uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. Iran’s cont'd rejection of the US demand for zero uranium enrichment could cause the negotiations to collapse.
