POPEHAT SIGNAL: Pro Bono counsel sought in Chicago, for the cause of right over the cause of evil. Potential client is out-of-state and indigent. Opponent is abusing Illinois’ pre-litigation discovery process to harass and abuse her and likely to dox her. The details are insane. /1

Russian propagandist Armen Gasparyan openly called for the mass killing of Ukrainians, saying there’s “nothing wrong if some Halya dies in Chernihiv.” He described strikes on the Dnipro left bank as a “cleansing” and claimed civilians “deserve” it.

Grow up, you ingrate. Chandler Morris got us to this game. Duke’s defensive game plan was to contain his and Taylor’s impact. Duke executed well on a plan that appeared better-designed. We lost. There is no shame in that.

Trump’s Ukraine peace plan is under fire from both parties. Senators McConnell, Wicker, and Shaheen call it a Putin-friendly surrender. Rep. Fitzpatrick moves to vote on Russia sanctions. Pro-Ukraine rallies are planned across the US this weekend.

I will say, the Trump movement’s willingness to take these fringe kooks seriously and to give them a champion look in RFK Jr. is smart politics. “Sure, you’re kooks, but will you vote for me? I’ll put your chief look in charge of the CDC and the FDA…”

Part of the evil genius of the Trump administration is its mindless acceptance of any fringe theory rejected by the majority. Here we have a wildly contagious disease that has been eliminated by a scientific process invented 100 odd years ago, in which we teach people’s immune systems to…

including boards of visitors across our universities, that want to defend academic freedom and, frankly, the viability and vitality of extraordinary institutions like the University of Virginia."

Washpost Opinion (not News) has done a stealth edit of its pro-ballroom editorial. The original (left) failed to mention that Amazon (whose founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Post) is a donor to Trump's project. The new version (right) has it. No clarification or correction appended to the piece.
Or consider the modest Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial near the National Air and Space Museum. Congress authorized its creation in 1999. Architect Frank Gehry was selected in 2009. The NCPC rejected Gehry’s initial design proposal in 2014 before approving a revised plan the next year. The Commission of Fine Arts gave its approval in 2017. The memorial wasn’t opened until late 2020. By contrast, Eisenhower planned and executed D-Day in about six months. Trump joins a long list of presidents who have left their imprint on the White House. Theodore Roosevelt replaced greenhouses to construct the West Wing. William Howard Taft constructed the first Oval Office in 1909. Richard M. Nixon converted a swimming pool into the press briefing room in 1970. The modern East Wing wasn’t even built until World War II to cover up an underground bunker. Harry S. Truman gutted the White House interior and added the balcony that bears his name. Purists decried it. Now it’s a hallmark.Or consider the modest Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial near the National Air and Space Museum. Congress authorized its creation in 1999.

The president has said the project will cost $300 million but that he’s raised $350 million from private donors. The White House released a list of 37 donors on Thursday, including Apple, Amazon, Comcast and Lockheed Martin. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Post.)

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

Trump finally reposted. He’s calling for the prosecution of his political enemies, which means that it’s another day ending in Y.
Trump: Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the
2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior!
