Pretty obviously not persuasive on several grounds

Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than two dozen people she spoke with described his management failures and conduct that could harm national security. theatln.tc/SS6krazR

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

What a fuckn time to be alive

Carl Spitzweg, The Book Worm (1850):

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥

Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

I really think Trump's Iran threat is a breaking point. We just learned that the GOP won't step up even when its leader threatens unthinkable war crimes and even genocide. This realization of powerlessness in the face of this madness will take a deep psychic toll.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes.

It has to stop.

Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15.

We must stop it.

Congress Should Create a Private Right of Action for Those Hurt by ICE It is unfathomable and unconscionable that the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have no remedy for the wrongs that were done to them.

It is unfathomable and unconscionable that the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have no remedy for the wrongs done to them.

Congress should create a private right of action for those harmed by ICE so agents who break the rules face consequences.

What a battle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would look like A lot of ships, aircraft and soldiers would have to spend a long time in harm’s way for uncertain results

The Pentagon appears to have a three-phased plan to open the Strait of Hormuz. Each stage could take several weeks and would pose considerable risk to American forces

As someone mostly living overseas these days ... you have no idea. None. Even those who don't like Maduro and Havana think Trump is a monster.

Omar Rayo, Ibawabi (1975)

That's a good start. Plus regs and detailed training requirements to use machines

Afraid I can't. On way back to DC for real world hearing next 3 days

Sorry

How to Fix DHS The answer to the agency’s abuses is not reform; it is wholesale disassembly and restructuring.

The answer to the abuses in the Department of Homeland Security is not reform; it is wholesale disassembly and restructuring, Paul Rosenzweig writes:

Other than running traveler divestment lanes, by law without statutorily required training and certification ICE agents can’t conduct the actual screening, including ID verification at the screening checkpoint. (Not that the law has stopped this administration)

It's illegal

Franklin P. Adams, "To a Thesaurus"

To a Thesaurus
by Franklin P. Adams
O precious codex, volume, tome,
Book, writing, compilation, work,
Attend the while I pen a pome,
A jest, a jape, a quip, a quirk.
For I would pen, engross, indite,
Transcribe, set forth, compose, address, /1

Wow
