A smart political party would be running ads about this. Would have press conferences with affected workers explaining how their work helped everyday people. Would have bought a Superbowl ad. Would never fucking shut up about what is happening.

When people ask how is Israel inciting antisemitism around the world, this is how. The glorious Star of David, a symbol of one of the great Abrahamic faiths, being used by a rogue state as cover for its torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, detainees, and hostages.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

If Pam Bondi wants to dismiss the Eric Adams indictment, she can just do it herself. She is the attorney general, she doesn’t need to have a line prosecutor do it for her. But they want to be able to say a career person did it.

This is absolutely a case where obstruction, even if they don't do the more general total obstruction they should be doing, could make a substantial practical difference, in addition to being perfectly on-point messaging for the situation. But they'd have to do *all* USA nominees, not just SDNY.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Democrats get mad when the people who elect them expect them to use the tools they have available to them and respond to the urgency of the moment. www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

Look, I hate to say I told you so but I pushed in 16/17 for this program to be delayed so the US could focus on NC3, Subs, B-21 and NNSA infrastructure. Air Force rejected all ideas to extend life of Minuteman to ensure deterrent. Now this program is a failure and it should be cancelled.

Classic Susan Collins. She contacts RFK Jr about her “concerns.” He assures her that after she votes to confirm him, he “will re-examine it.” Hopefully people in Maine will be tired of this old act and wake up next year at the ballot box.

Israel gassed people to death in Gaza: The IDF “intentionally weaponized toxic byproducts of bombs to suffocate” Palestinian militants, also gassing some hostages. In certain major strikes “scores of civilians” were killed without killing the intended militant target. www.972mag.com/tunnels-hama...

Yes, this is a point I've been making and the overdraft thing is a perfect example. If you had $12 in your account and you bought a $5 coffee and then put $20 of gas in your car, what banks would do is flip the transactions.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Trump’s imposition of sanctions on International Criminal Court officials and their families continues his march to make America a pariah state. It provides succor to brutal dictators, aggressors and human rights abusers around the world whom he admires. internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Republican legal scholarship is now just a game. A game where you see who can contort plain English into the least absurd pretzel that conforms to the lawless demands of a diseased party.

Air Force now says Minuteman III ICBM will be deployed until at least 2050. www.defensedaily.com/last-minutem... Five years ago it was 2036. And who can forget the warnings it’s falling apart, no margins, and extending would cost more than new Sentinel. 🙄 Background: fas.org/initiative/i...

for over a decade now, the dark matter of American politics has been the willingness of conservatives to simply threaten to murder anyone who disagrees with them. even after 1/6, it can't be confronted directly, because it is genuine failed state shit

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
