I wonder if any of the rating agencies is considering downgrading U.S. debt. Not having a secure payment system would be a very good reason.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia. Instead, all notifications will be made on X. We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

last year DEI was Critical Race Theory which was The 1619 Project which was... anyway the point is I don't understand how America doesn't figure out that their leaders are just trying to find new words to manufacture outrage and be racist in. Why are we a country of goldfish?

Letting Tarrio out of prison would be/is particularly significant because he wasn’t even at the Capitol. He was part of the Proud Boy’s’ planning process to use force on Jan. 6 to aid Trump. There’s no gray area about what he wanted and what he did.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

Why is it that Hegseth talks over women, long after the point where it's even arguably acceptable, and argues with them like he's asking the questions, not the other way around? He can say whatever he wants, but it's clear he doesn't respect women or even the offices they hold.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

Q: "Sen. Capito [says] Gabbard told her" this week that in 2017 "she didn't even know she was going to Syria, that she intended to go to Lebanon ... and ended up in Syria." Sen. Kelly: "I talked to Congresswoman Gabbard this week ... We talked about the trip to Syria. She didn't tell me that part."

“Our Christmas soundtrack…was mostly composed by Jews. “Let It Snow,” “Silver Bells,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Winter Wonderland,” “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “A Holly, Jolly Christmas,” “Santa Baby”—all are the work of Jewish songwriters”

As the Christmas- Hanukkah conjunction approaches, reflecting on the complaint "they're not really comparable, H was a minor religious holiday that has been inflated for reasons of feel-good American cultural-political assimilation" and how precisely true that is of C in American Protestantism.

I am convinced Trump remains insistent on seizing Greenland because he believes it is the gigantic size projected on the traditional Mercator map, not its actual size, which is about 1/3 of the continental United States

Elon Musk promoting a Nazi friendly party on the same day one of their supporters commits terrorism is really challenging the press to ignore a pretty compelling sidebar.

If Musk really wants to interfere in the German federal election he should be sending faxes to every citizen, not pushing a message out on Twitter…

The thing about pardons is that they have a pretty shitty record and if you are reserving your ire for Hunter Biden's pardon maybe its not the shitty pardons you care about.

The song “White Christmas” was written by Irving Berlin, who married a Christian woman who was disowned by her family for marrying a Jew, and so as a wedding gift he gave her the rights to one of his most popular songs to protect her financial independence in case they divorced. What a mensch.
