one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl
Bellingcat has geolocated eight videos showing US Tomahawks cruise missiles in Iraq heading towards Iran. The missiles appear to be flying low across valleys and were most likely fired from the Mediterranean sea, an expert told us.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

Sorry but that's just how it is and it's largely the fault of one country, and I don't even mean the nuclear power in question but its superpower patron which has a deep ideological aversion to holding it to account.
Constitutional amendment to launch billionaires into the sun.
It’s wild to me that people who will refuse to read a New York Times article because they don’t trust the media, will happily ingest poop milk produced by someone they’ve never met but who has a good MAHA marketing team.
"As the U.S. military expands its use of AI tools to pinpoint targets for airstrikes in Iran, members of Congress are calling for guardrails and greater oversight of the technology’s use in war."
Attorneys for Estefany Maria Rodríguez Florez have filed an amended petition in federal court that accuses the federal government of First and Fifth Amendment violations in detaining the Spanish-language news journalist, who has reported critically in recent months about ICE enforcement activities.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.
Apparently politics are just like sports broadcasting - men absolutely could not handle the shit women deal with every single damn day
The DHS Attorney who had a viral public meltdown in court at the height of the ICE occupation because it was too hard to follow court orders is now running for Congress as, get this, a Democrat. If we can learn what district she is running in, we can ask why she signed up to keep folks detained.
in my experience it's actually rich people who fail to understand how complicated and expensive it is to be poor because the system treats everyone the same bsky.app/profile/atru...

BREAKING: Former military lawyers say use of JAG lawyers in Minnesota violates the Posse Comitatus Act.
Although recent litigation has focused on troop deployments to American cities, a new challenge in Minnesota looks at DOJ's use of JAG lawyers in non-military cases.
New, at Law Dork:
I sat down with @stevevladeck.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net to discuss the hurdles to states potentially prosecuting ICE agents for murder and other crimes, and the need to fix Section 1983 so federal agents are subject to civil liability for violating people's rights.
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

The DC Bar charges against Ed Martin are very Ed Martin-y. After DCBar starts inquiry, Martin writes Chief Judge of DC Court of Appeals 3x ex parte—twice after being warned not to—& demands that DCBar counsel be suspended—triggering additional charges.

I spoke with @ichotiner.bsky.social about how the U.S. and Israel are waging the war in Iran, how the Trump Administration has dismantled the architecture meant to protect civilians during war, and whether we are headed for a new kind of lawlessness.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
Pete Hegseth's "Department of War" spent $7.4 million on lobster tails, more than $15 million on ribeye steaks, and hundreds of thousands on doughnuts...in September.
