The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP. That's a detail you keep.

If Biden was asked a question about Harvard and went on a long rant about Harlem, it would be front page news and Republicans would be drawing up articles of impeachment. Trump is suffering severe mental decline and it’s about time it gets the attention it deserves.

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement.

Pope Francis was absent from Vance’s conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. However, the statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”"

I hope Senate Democrats feel really great about keeping the blue slip for district court nominees now that SCOTUS has basically told the federal government it can force people to challenge their possible summary expulsion to a foreign gulag in … Texas district courts, followed by the Fifth Circuit.

I'm writing away, but — If you're going to be dismissive about your colleagues in a United States Supreme Court opinion, you should damn well have to put your name to it. This being in a per curiam is ridiculous.

<highlighted>For all the rhetoric of the dissents</highlighted>, today's order and per curiam confirm that the detainees subject to removal orders under the AEA are entitled to notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal. The only question is which court will resolve that challenge.

Jesus man he's such a sniveling coward stand up for your wife and kids like a normal human being

Tweets from JD Vance. The first is quote tweeting Ro Khanna, who says "Are you going to tell him to apologize for saying "Normalize Indian hate" before this rehire? Just asking for the sake of both of our kids.".

JD Vance then says "For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up.

Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don't threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children.

I cannot overstate how much I loathe this emotional blackmail pretending to be concern.

My kids, god willing, will be risk takers. They won't think constantly about whether a flippant comment or a wrong viewpoint will follow them around for the rest of their lives.

They will tell stupid jokes. They will develop views that they later think are wrong or even gross. I made mistakes as a kid, and thank God I grew up in a culture that encouraged me to grow and learn and feel remorse when I screwed up and offer grace when others did.

I don't worry about my kids making mistakes, or developing views they later regret. I don't even worry that much about trolls on the internet. You know what I do worry about, Ro?

That they'll grow up to be a US Congressmen who engages in emotional blackmail over a kid's social media posts.

You disgust me."

Letting Tarrio out of prison would be/is particularly significant because he wasn’t even at the Capitol. He was part of the Proud Boy’s’ planning process to use force on Jan. 6 to aid Trump. There’s no gray area about what he wanted and what he did.

Analysis | Enrique Tarrio was not just a random seditionist

The Proud Boys leader was much closer to the Trump White House than most of those at the Capitol riot.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products.

Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

Why is it that Hegseth talks over women, long after the point where it's even arguably acceptable, and argues with them like he's asking the questions, not the other way around? He can say whatever he wants, but it's clear he doesn't respect women or even the offices they hold.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.
