That's weird, because Republicans keep telling us that paperwork is the ONLY thing that makes you American. Isn't that their whole rationale for passing a law that requires "documentary proof of United States citizenship" in order to vote?
In the current era of prop betting, it's just a terrible idea for players or coaches to be intentionally manipulating stats in real time. How much money was riding on "Will he beat Kobe's 81?"
By the way, I'm an Atlantic subscriber. It's painful when I find myself paying for this kind of garbage.
Trump and his people have been vomiting this deluge of utterly baseless bullshit for five years and it's been thoroughly debunked a million times. Objective reporters should treat this "investigation" with the contempt it deserves.

I'm disgusted by The Atlantic's coverage of the new FBI and DHS investigations into the 2020 election in Arizona. The Atlantic's reporters treat this as a serious investigation, detailing the claims and counterclaims without simply explaining that all evidence shows it's just inane bullshit.
Someone should tell Reggie Jackson he missed his own funeral.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Did an impulsive stupid thing, didn't turn out well, decides to quit and do some other impulsive stupid thing instead.
Like a speedboat, but gigantic and slow.
I agree, and it's among the reasons I don't subscribe to the theory that if Trump dies in office, Vance will benefit from the advantages of incumbency in the 2028 election (that, and the fact that nobody likes him).

Highly recommend: "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" (1841), in which the accounts of various manias, cranks, superstitions and prejudices are remarkably pertinent today. Witch hunts, the Tulip Mania, etc.
Unless this proposal is linked to huge tax increases on the wealthy, this gigantic tax cut will cause great harm to the poor and lower middle class, who won't benefit from the increase in the standard deduction but will suffer from the inevitable cuts in government services.
if you believed this you should be fired on the spot because you are one of the dumbest people alive
Trump is so obviously a despicable corrupt criminal that when he does something despicable, corrupt, or criminal, the media figures it isn't news so they don't bother mentioning it. When the president is a despicable corrupt criminal it should be the top headline every day.
For most people, vaccines turned Covid from an unmanageable thing to a manageable thing. But the anti-vax demographic decided that dying of Covid wasn't actually a big deal so they just kept doing it.
In situations like that I start class by telling my students "I was up all night because ____, so if I say something or write something on the board that doesn't seem right, let me know". They understood, it worked, they'd speak up if I said "increasing" but wrote "decreasing", etc.
Regarding Iran's prospective new leaders, "most of the people we had in mind are dead" sounds like a colossal screwup, not "winning".
Next: "We've been at war with Iran 47 times".
I agree. I'll add: she traded a pretty effective campaign theme ("We're Not Going Back") for limp consultant stuff ("A New Way Forward") but the main problems she had to surmount were not of her making. The alternative scenario, "depose the sitting president and run in his place", was absurd.
A Trump campaign swag hat, available for $55 at the Trump Store (will not link because...obviously, but it's there).
A fool and her Nobel Prize are soon parted.
Two things: 1) Regarding the dead children, he's a depraved monster. 2) When he says choose an Iranian president so we don't have to do this again in ten years, he means choose and prop up an American-backed dictator-for-life.

Words have no meaning. The president is mentally incompetent. His aides and cabinet members insult us by pretending he's a normally functioning adult. It's all totally insane, a complete farce.
It doesn't say "physically incapacitated" or "diagnosed with mental illness". The president is required to be at least 35, and Trump clearly lacks the intellectual or emotional development of a normally functioning adult. He is incapable of properly discharging the powers and duties of his office.
Donald Trump has the intellect and temperament of a child, and he has a child's understanding of the world. He demonstrates it every single day. The 25th Amendment provides for replacement of the president if he is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
He has the temperament and judgement of a child. That's not sufficient for the president of the United States, especially when he starts delivering outlandish ultimatums in time of war.
Trump demanding the "unconditional surrender" of Iran is 25th-Amendment-level idiocy. Either he literally doesn't understand what he just demanded, or he intends to occupy Iran, arrest its leaders, etc. Either makes him completely incompetent to have sole control of the US nuclear arsenal.
