The Democratic party is as unpopular as it is because its own voters find the party feckless and weak.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in to protest and the tireless work of death penalty abolitionists. Sonny is still in prison, so there's a lot left to do, but at least he has time now.

TPUSA's "professor watchlist" and the cadre of students they've deputized to report on their professors and fellow students is the ground operation, but it's the bureaucratic long game that Vought and the Project 2025 folks are carrying out that's the far more substantial threat to US higher ed.

So if your uni illegally kept demographic data on all applicants from the past 5 years, then you are compliance with what is now the law. If your uni followed the law and discarded that demographic data, then you are at risk of running afoul of the federal gov't which can rescind access to fed funds

A dispatch from the annals of Project 2025 authoritarianism: Universities are now being required to provide demographic data on all students who applied to their schools for the past 5 years so the feds can sniff out illegal affirmative action. Until last year, tho, keeping such data was not allowed

its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith

I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation:

1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz.
2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy.
3. Energy Secretary deletes post.
4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer.

Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

No
No one has to "settle"
This is like saying "Look, I know he hits you, but do you really want the children to grow up in a broken home?"

13-years-old is 8th grade. Many 13 year olds have not even reached puberty yet.

DOJ Sitting on Documents Involving 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser Pressure is increasing on the DOJ to declassify documents that detail interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her.

Dozens of documents detailing FBI interviews with an Epstein victim who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a high schooler are being kept under wraps.

β€œ.. The advice signals a recalibration by the White House β€” and reflects growing concern among some Republicans that Democrats are successfully framing Trump's immigration policy as overly sweeping and indiscriminate.”

It was about a year or so ago we were told we should silently concede them the right to illegally rendition people to overseas torture camps in the name of addressing immigration. That was the *savvy* political play we were told.

The β€˜number station’ sending mystery messages to Iran Radio station is broadcasting what appears to be coded orders in Farsi, echoing the cold war

The β€˜number station’ sending mystery messages from Western Europe to Iran, via short-wave radio signal.

Former US intelligence officers said the broadcasts were probably an emergency measure enabling the #US to maintain contact with agents within #Iran

β€˜Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

Conservative efforts to invalidate trans ID documents, coupled with age-verification laws, could block trans people large parts of the internet.

Platforms from Discord to Bluesky to adult sites are increasingly reliant on valid IDs for age-verification β€” and thus access.

There is some logistic sense to minesweepers not being homeported on the East Coast or Wedt Coast and then deploying.

But, if Iran gets serious about mine warfare in the Straights of Hormuz... that's probably not a fight the US Navy is well prepared for.
