I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.

“The clear winner of this war is Putin”

Must be a coincidence 🙃

Tweet by Acyn quoting a reporter asking Senator John Fetterman why he did not sign a letter calling for an investigation into a strike on a girls’ school in Iran. The image shows Fetterman speaking remotely from an office during a CNN interview.

Brain injuries apparently can completely change the person you once were.

Amid Crowded Skies, FAA Kills Rule Aimed at Regulating Space Junk The agency once said that pieces of space debris “pose a significant risk,” but the Trump administration has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to remove rock...

The thing about deciding not to regulate a common resource is that it doesn’t solve the problem for anyone. For government, it puts the hard decisions off, making them harder. For commercial users, it sets off a “race to the bottom” to exhaust the resource at maximum velocity.

Someone at the NYT asked me a couple years ago for an opinion piece on "how to solve the Colorado River water crisis."

So I made a nice little writeup on the most obvious answer: charging for water.

Once the editorial board saw it, they freaked out & cancelled the piece.

Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With WASHINGTON—Saying critics of the missile strike that killed at least 175 civilians were dodging a fundamental question, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday demanded to know what girls were doing ...

“In all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore the fact that girls were allowed to learn?” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Millions more people are in the path of rising seas than previously thought Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's population is vulnerable than earlier predictions had estimated.

Jai déjà partagé hier mais j'avais pas pris le temps de lire ce travail du Guardian sur les restes humains dans les musées britanniques. 260k restes, 80k individus, 30k restes extra européens.

Jan. 6 plaque honoring police officers is now displayed at the Capitol after a 3-year delay Visitors to the Capitol in Washington now have a visible reminder of the siege there on Jan. 6, 2021, and the officers who fought and were injured that day.

Why Language Models Hallucinate. A paper released by OpenAI in September of 2025.

Back in September, OpenAI released a paper showing that ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. It's how the system fundamentally works. Which means there is no "fix."

We win when we fight, example #4,080

He stood over the coffins wearing a baseball cap?

165 Graves. For 165 little girls. At a a school we bombed.

Pedo in chief: Little girls. If we can't fuck 'em, then we bomb 'em.

I detest this man with every fiber of my being.

Graves.

165 graves.

Each for a little girl killed by the Israeli-American strike that targeted a school on the first day of the Iran War.

Screenshot of an X post by Stephanie Ruhle responding “This is not correct” to a clip of USTR Ambassador Jamieson Greer saying tariffs are not regressive because most consumption is done by the wealthiest Americans. The embedded image shows Greer speaking live outside the White House on CNBC.

Lower and middle class consumers spend a far higher percentage of disposable income buying basic items. This isn't hard to understand, but our USTR doesn't seem to.

This is hilarious!! 🤣 🤣

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

How many criminals can you pack into the Trump White House? Answer: as many as you need.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

I mean even the fucking White House is backtracking (however slightly). If Dems EVER had a moment to get their messaging right... it's now. Executing US citizens and kidnapping children is not law enforcement.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

(The Atlantic) By Nick Miroff (excellent reporter) Greg Bovino will not only leave Minneapolis but also be fired and let go from his job. Possibly, he will retire, but no job in Minneapolis. Waiting now to see if Noem weathers the storm. Stay tuned.

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

We dedicated much of tonight's program to an in-depth look at what Colorado is doing to prevent - and prepare for - President Trump's violent crackdown by federal forces potentially coming to Colorado. This is a thread of those reports.
