OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war

So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”

Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement

I'm obsessed with this

dementia don. no longer has a filter. putting us soldiers in grave danger in order to gloat about murdering unarmed sailors

don't hide the byline I need to know who wrote this slop without clicking!!

so the new objective is basically to safely open the strait of hormuz, the strait that was open before they started this war for no reason

The screaming subtext here is a call for ethnic cleansing, in a healthy pluralistic government he’d be censured and expelled

a lot going on here

Schumer reiterates — again — that Senate Democrats will block the SAVE act

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

I'm sure WotC had very talented people working on the set, and I'm sure they did their best. But I'm not dropping money on IPs that are not even Magic-adjacent, particularly when they're small sets, a design space WotC often struggles with

Wizards of the Coast knows when my account does or does not sign up for a prerelease. When I skip releases like TMNT I often get a survey asking why. I'm sure they don't care but I always do my part to explain that I'm not going to drop money on Universes Beyond slop sets

Newsom likens Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ questions future military support The California governor’s comments came as he promoted his new memoir in Los Angeles.

Gavin Newsom has no core convictions and will say whatever he thinks gives him the greatest political advantage, which actually makes him a valuable barometer of how dramatically the politics of this issue have shifted in just a few years. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I like the twist that Troyes puts on it: each player gets an objective the others cannot see, but everyone scores it at the end of the game. It gives you an edge on that objective but you don't want to be too obvious about how you go about it

D.C. residents saw Pepco bills skyrocket this winter The cold weather is only part of the story.

I was really glad to see this in the 51st (with a follow-up story on options available for folks!)

I had a similar thought recently about consultants. If AI's resulting in huge improvements in consultant output I think that says quite a lot about the value of most consultants

Little Steel strike - Wikipedia

Reportedly got up to some pretty spicy union activities, I think at least partly related to the Little Steel Strike

This reminds me of my grandfather, who was a steelworker and was also named Joe, received special permission to run as "CIO Joe" in union elections because that was what everyone knew him as

TFW you're Horatio Nelson following the battle of Cape Saint Vincent

Ok wow at first I thought he was saying he didn't know that some of his costars from the first run had passed away, which would have been considerably darker!

Votor would be a great name for a Pokemon that's shaped like a ballot box
