SCOTUS will soon consider the legality of bans on assault weapons under 2nd Amendment. The hypocrisy of originalism will be on display when we consider what an “arm” was in 1789 — a one-shot musket. The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/u...

Way to go California! California just closed another door on outside military deployments. Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 1354, which blocks other states from sending their military forces into California without the Governor’s permission.

The law targets a loophole that could have allowed another state’s National Guard to enter California under Title 32, including at the President’s request. After what happened in Los Angeles, California is making it very clear who gets to authorize military deployments inside the state.

Just refreshed my phone app for Google Maps. Still says Lake Ontario at 10:07 am ET. Maybe different results for different users or for different geographic areas? Maybe Google knows that here in the Great Lakes State, we’re not having it.

Yah

Most of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap

When we have fires in the US, Canada sent help. When Canada has fires, Trump threatens them with tariffs. What an asshole.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.

When you see online trolls celebrating Trump or defending crimes by the police or ICE, 9 out of 10 times that’s not an actual human, that’s your tax money weaponized against you.

On behalf of all USMNT supporters everywhere, special thanks to Donald Trump for wrapping the team in distraction and scandal before their biggest game ever. Really appreciate him getting his grubby tiny hands all over this.

THIS!! #ETTD Trump has never understood honor, or that some people see victories obtained in this regard as hollow, w less meaning

You knew Trump would still find a way to ruin the World Cup I'm a beyond-diehard USA fan who thinks Balogun's red card was wrongly given, but this taints everything. I'd rather lose by the rules (which includes bad officiating) than win with rank corruption

It is now July 4, 2026, and thus officially the 250th anniversary of our wonderful Nation's adventure into the realm of independence, freedom, and democracy. Nothing would be more appropriate than for it to happen today. The odds are it won't happen today. (1/2)
