The rollout of Direct File was a genuine unequivocally good thing (unless you’re a huge Intuit shareholder or something), and I know a few people who worked very hard on it.

The Royal Opera House in London announced it has engaged the Russian soprano and terrorism supporter Anna Netrebko to perform in September 2025. Netrebko backed the "Novorossiya" terror group. Here she is holding its flag with Oleg Tsaryov; he is on the UK sanctions list.

Dorie Miller. Navy Cross. Saved a lot of lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Navy is going to build a carrier named for him. But that video isn’t on DoD anymore. Absolute disgrace. Trying to erase these stories doesn’t only dishonor them, it dishonours ourselves. youtu.be/CmR_XKZsLPs?...

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

John Bolton on BBC just now: "I think we are in danger not just of losing the NATO alliance [...] but practically every alliance around the world as our friends and allies look at this performance and wonder if there's anybody in this administration who understands what's at stake here."

President Zelensky’s treatment at the White House is appalling. Appeasement just feeds the appetite of despots. If the US is treating allies as adversaries, is there anything besides disaster on the horizon?

In memory of Marie Colvin. She was killed on this day, Feb 22, 2012, in Homs, Syria. I wish she could report today on the liberation of Syria from Bashar al-Assad. We support her legacy at mariecolvincenter.org. We miss you Marie

Snow on your boots? A felon shaking down a nation in crisis because he can. A nation that is supposed to be an ally. But there are no allies - just opportunities. Vile.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

If you think waving the flag at a protest is weird for our side, picture how it'll look when pro-Democracy protesters, waving the American flag, get kettled by riot cops. Imagine the effect those pictures will have on social media. On newspapers. Try to imagine a more powerful visual.

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

Their dishonor, lack of integrity, unethical practices, and just lack of basic bloody decency will haunt us. “We are America, and our actions should be held to a higher standard, the ideals expressed in documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.” Ian Fishback ‘05
