The news is always "This absolute fool was dismantled in hearings today. He is manifestly unqualified for the position and would be an existential danger if confirmed. Disaster. He is set to be confirmed immediately." When you ask why everyone is furious and exhausted all the time, this is why.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

A real report: A dispute among Cabinet officials over who could ride in fighter jets flying over Washington on July Fourth escalated to Trump, who gave the go-ahead to acting attorney general Todd Blanche despite prior objections from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

So Belgium complained FIFA never gave them the decision, FIFA treated their request as the appeal itself, THEN said an appeal can’t be "admissible" without the decision FIFA hadn’t provided. That is ELITE administrative nonsense. We just out-Belgium’d Belgium. www.nytimes.com/athletic/742...

They're now reviewing that high elbow by Mitchell Robinson on Victor Wembanyama to see if it's a flagrant. Wemby spent the whole trip down the floor after his bucket pointing to his head and saying he was in Mitch's; looks like he might be right.

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor lets Brett Kavanaugh have it: “I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops. This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour." news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Trump: "The Public is loving ICE. They are Great American Patriots, they just happen to have much larger, and harder, muscles than most — which is what they’re supposed to have. Thank you to ICE for the GREAT job you are doing. America very much appreciates it! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
