Péter Magyar is set to take Hungary’s reins with the powers of a supermajority at his disposal. Experts say that he’ll need it to loosen the grip that Viktor Orbán established on the country – and with the European Union demanding change. #hungary #petermagyar #eu

Hampshire College stood out for its nontraditional style, with no grades or majors. The recent announcement of its upcoming closure underscores the financial and demographic pressures facing many small liberal arts colleges. #highered #liberalarts #college

It took George W. Bush almost 8 years to reach 50% of the public "strongly" disapproving of him. Trump did it in like 14 months

I'm unreasonably proud of myself that I scrolled through this thread backwards, but immediately knew it would be about cubits.
"The 25th Amendment must be invoked!"
No. The 25th Amendment is a *higher* bar than impeachment and removal.
Keeping Trump out of office via 25A requires 2/3 of the House, plus 2/3 of the Senate.
Impeachment is only a majority of the House, with removal remaining at 2/3 of the Senate.
"He must be tried for war crimes!"
No. The purpose of a trial is to determine the facts of what happened, and based on those facts decide if someone committed a crime.
We know the facts already. We know the crimes committed already. There's literally nothing for a jury to decide.
I'm going to use "banger after badger" from now on.
Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Yet another example that Bari Weiss is not a real journalist.
A smart party secretary would've allowed the full interview to air on the last night of a holiday weekend when everyone had to get to bed early, posted a few tame Talarico soundbites to distract from his spicy quotes, and moved on.
As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates.
First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/
I don't know whether that suggests the author is biased for or against Green.
"In his ruling, Judge Young, who is 85 and has served as a federal judge for over 40 years, described the case as “perhaps the most important” of his career." Read @zjmontague.bsky.social's curtain raiser in @nytimes.com ahead of today's AAUP v. Rubio remedy hearing: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...
1. He wants to
2. It’s plausible he’ll try
3. His people would support it
4. But it’s vastly harder and more complicated than people are suggesting and can’t be done by his fiat
99% chance this is what they mean
None of the DoJ people who have been resigning over the last year are squishy liberals. Many likely would have served willingly in a DoJ run by legitimate, lawful conservatives. But this is an unhinged regime of crooks, sycophants, and morons.
Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

... has repeatedly insisted that fact checking is, by itself, "censorship" and here we have Jim Jordan repeating the directly. When, what it really shows is how Jim Jordan's threats and pressure are actually *suppressing* fact checking speech.
Fact checking IS NOT AND CANNOT BE "censorship." It is literally the "more speech" that pretend free speech supporters always claim they want. It's more speech weighing in on the accuracy of other speech. It's literally a part of the "marketplace of ideas." Yet, over the last decade, the GOP...
