President Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch. If completed, it will cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost.com's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

In which the ruling class lowkey confesses to the modern day version of the Business Plot to install fascism in the U.S. (which was already protofascist, btw) from the 1930s.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Actually enslavers did this. During the Haitian revolution, the French deployed them as part of a plan to eradicate the Black population on the island under Charles Leclerc.

How long do we think before the President reports something he thinks is fraud and then claims he's entitled to a payout?

Even if this statement were accurate (he in fact works for the Department of Justice), the fact that your employer can fire you for not doing their bidding does not make it your job to do their bidding.

Again, with the “tut-tut” on language to the Democratic candidates is amazing when the President spent most of Friday hurling racist insults at political candidates.

Is it bad if major defense contractors have their own foreign policies?

There's a causality story that could be told here that the NYTimes elected to dance around rather than directly engage.

The reviews for 14th are wonderful. I’m so honored to have contributed to Ava duVernay’s latest masterpiece. variety.com/2026/film/re...

Alito is so off base here it is scary. The issue wasn’t about a “new moral code,” but a duly enacted Colorado law that made no mention of religion and had nothing to do with religion. He’s just voting his religion, nothing more in these cases.

Is insider trading an official act? Asking for a Chief Justice.

The “discomfort” white people feel when we discuss race is an inheritance that was taught to them. Teaching children to become complicit in the horror of enslavement and segregation is horrible too. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a masterpiece b/c it tells that story of that negotiation.

Supreme Court enabled that violent movement via United States v Cruickshank (a decision that Roberts #SCOTUS later echoed in Trump v United States [worth reading @leahlitman.bsky.social's Lawless where she lays this all out. pp 96-97, 139]

He couldn't fill the Butler High School arena in Vandalia, OH, which has a capacity of 5,000. There were several stretches of empty seats in upper bleachers as Trump took the stage — and many more by the time he finished speaking 93 minutes later. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Iran destroyed naval base in Bahrain, we just withdrew (under an agreement Biden made) from Iraq, and now Whiskey Pete has cut and run from the UK. But sure, we're winning the war.

A 10K contribution and a $900 million return. The scale of the graft in Homeland Security is a) off the charts and b) possible because no-one believes they will face any accountability

Jack Smith at last night’s Power to the People concert, wearing a Springsteen/No Kings shirt.

In some ways, the biggest difference between me and a person who is "successfull in media" is this clip right here. Thompson is summoning every ounce of her strength to sit there and listen to sports praise of a sexual predator. I'd... lose my shit and get fired.

Kids just be doing shit

I also highly recommend this excellent short video by @jamellebouie.net on the current intra-right party spat this ad set off (and the power of narrtives) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_vD...

To lose visitors in the year you HOST THE WORLD CUP and celebrate a big anniversary is truly incredible.

During the World Cup.

If you need a refresher about the issues involved in release of Vol. 2 of Jack Smith’s report, you’re not alone. The case was briefed months ago, but has been sitting on the court’s docket waiting for oral argument. I wrote about it back then: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-pas...

The Jim Jordan Rule applies. To their base, it doesn't have to be plausible or factual or even sane. It simply needs to be loud and public and what they want to hear and believe. What rational people believe is irrelevant to the noise machine.

Law is a moral practice. And there are many ghouls amongst us.

This is a human rights abuse worthy of prosecution under intentional law. Minimally, they should be impeached and removed for this alone.

Can’t do student loan relief. Can’t mandate vaccines. Can’t help home owners. Can commit human rights abuses.

On @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, we noted that Alito hadn't recused in Suncor (he owns stock in 2 oil companies, & he flew on a PJ owned by someone w interests in one of the companies in the case). He's now recused. . . which likely means there are still 5 votes for Big Oil. tinyurl.com/2425sh73

Remember, on November 3, a vote for Republicans is a vote for Elon Musk

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

It is no coincidence that rationalists and EAs tend to be straight white guys from well-off families, because for everybody else, the world usually conspires to knock some sense into you about your inherent god-emperor genius by the time you’re old enough to drink.

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

I have a theory about how many of the world's problems are caused by people who were told they were the smartest people alive as kids, believed it, and then when they became adults and couldn't accept that maybe they weren't that special, started breaking shit if only to prove they were special

Roger's correct. A perfect article. So well done.

😂😂😂

That last one, from Sean Davis of TheFederalist is particularly stupid. After Google *temporarily* removed TheFederalist from its ad program BECAUSE THE FEDERALIST VIOLATED GOOGLE'S RULES, he ran to the media and to Congress about how it was "CENSORSHIP"
