Documenting for posterity
From America.gov chatbot 

User asked: Is Donald Trump eligible to run for reelection in 2028?
No. Under the 22nd Amendment, a person who has been elected President twice cannot be
elected again.
What the Constitution says
• "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
• Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and 2024, so a third election would require a constitutional amendment.

Why is the Ossoff campaign using Newsom to send solicitations? Seems to me that Democrats generally love @ossoff.bsky.social and most people are at best(!) ambivalent about Newsom.

Bret Stephens, I really enjoyed almost all of your recent columns. If you're scratching your head at this "news," well, it's because I made it up.

Not using social media tons for the time being, but everyone should read this takedown of one of the biggest rabbis in American Reform Judaism, which is really about the larger incoherence of supporting liberal pluralism in the US while opposing it in Israel. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-54/rev...

Ezra Klein: Elizabeth Holmes is founding Theranos the right way @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
The movie features long, intense conversations between Fielder and Holmes with extreme close-ups. It also reveals that while Holmes serves her time at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, she and her partner, Billy Evans, are making plans "to launch a new and improved Theranos," the company that collapsed after its deceptive claims about blood-testing technology were exposed in The Wall Street Journal in 2015.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

I’m starting to suspect that JD Vance isn’t very bright
JD Vance confidently pitching untruths at a Republican Jewish coalition summit today: “The core of antisemitism to me is the idea of a blood libel - the idea that because of your genetics, because of your blood, because of your ancestry, you are guilty," he said. "That blood libel — which is at the root of antisemitism - is the exact opposite of the Christian gospel."

@jamellebouie.net
The details of what is happening here are important — that's why I laid them out — but it's also important to step back and make a more fundamental point: the president of the United States is engaged in a conspiracy against the voting rights of the American people, which is to say that the president is engaged in a conspiracy against the Constitution itself. And this is part of a larger effort, spearheaded by the most fanatical of his allies, like Stephen Miller, to end the American republic and supplant it with an authoritarian regime in which President Trump holds sovereign authority over the whole nation.

My favorite Darline Graham fact
Wikipedia: Darline Lettie Graham Nordone (born Darlene Lettie Graham; al June 12, 1964) is an AmericanWikipedia: Lindsey-who was nine years her senior-became Graham's legal guardian. He taught her to spell her first name "Darline", a spelling she continues to use in adulthood.

I was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.

The thing about the Just Asking Questions crowd is that all of the "questions" about trans athletes have simple, straightforward, easily accesible answers. Anyone who is *still* asking questions, it is a pretty safe assumption that they just don't want to hear the answers.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

I still think about the WSJ scoop about the Epstein birthday book. The official Republican position, to this day and after unsuccessful Trump litigation, is that maybe someone faked his signature and put it in a book where everyone else's signature was real

I love this story because it purports to tell a light-hearted anecdote about the late senator from South Carolina but it actually illustrates a key problem with how the media covers those in power.

Like anyone who's spent any time around politics, 1 have many Lindsey Graham stories. This is perhaps my favorite...
I was covering Congress (Best! Beat! Ever!) for the NYT when the Mother Emanuel shooting happened in Charleston. It was summer, but I was wearing pants and a sweater that day because it was always SO freezing in the Capitol. Anyhow, news of the shooting came down, and the DC Bureau chief called me with an order: Get yourself to Charleston ASAP and glue yourself to Graham's side. She wanted a piece on the senator grappling with the unimaginable. So I headed straight to the airport, arriving in Charleston with just my backpack and what l'd be wearing to work that day, and linked up with Graham.
He had me meet him at a restaurant, where I told him I needed to shadow him for the next 48 hours. And he looked at me, with amused distaste, and said: "You are sticky. And you are icky. If you want to shadow me, go buy some nice new clothes—maybe a dress— and take a shower, and then we'll talk." (He was not wrong; | was sweaty and gross).
So I drove to a local big box store, bought a dress (he seemed to have a strong preference for a dress), and spent the next few days with him, resulting in this piece (which, for reasons not worth getting into, ended up being fairly different than the original

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?
