So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

One other brilliant aspect of Judge Ho appointing Scalia clerk Paul Clement as his amicus: It'll make it FAR HARDER for Emil Bove to conduct his "weaponization" witchunt targeting (among others) Scalia clerk Danielle Sassoon.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

The Yankees have been dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 1970s. They're going to let players wear beards at last. As somebody who's had one since 1969 (with a couple of 6-month glitches for medical reasons), I must say it's nice to see them catching up with the past!

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Ringed Galaxies are rare (~1 in 10,000). Before this image was captured, we never had seen a galaxy with more than 3 rings. This recent image of Galaxy LEDA 1313424 (dubbed the 'Bullseye Galaxy') shows 9 or maybe 10 rings. (Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Imad Pasha [Yale], and Pieter van Dokkum [Yale])

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
