At about 1:20 in here, Hegseth says: "Theocratic regimes should never have access to nuclear weapons." Note: Hegseth's current pastor, Doug Wilson — who Hegseth has had *preach at the Pentagon* — has openly called for the U.S. to be a Christian theocracy. www.youtube.com/live/zXd567G...

I've been a reporter for a long time and this might be the strangest thing I've ever done. We've been reporting on privatization of schools this year and found that just about anyone can open a private school in most states. So we asked, Could reporters do it?

Our reporting has shown how easily people — some with questionable backgrounds — have founded their own private schools in barns, strip malls and other places. That led us to an experiment: If the hur...

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.

The Constitution Is On Life Support
Four justices are prepared to stuff the Fourteenth Amendment’s promises in the garbage because Mister Trump demands it.

Off the top of your head, how many times would you guess the U.S. has bombed Somalia this year? Would it surprise you to learn that the answer is 58.
Headline: US Launches another Airstrike in Somalia as Trump Continues Ramped Up Bombing Campaign: The U.S. has launched at least 58 airstrikes in Somalia this year and is on track to break the record for annual bombings Trump set last year.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

no one in a position of power, in or out of government, really wants to deal with the fact that we have a demented chief executive, because if they acknowledged that, they'd feel obligated to do something about it and they don't want to risk their own careers or status doing something about it

If the Ayatollah had prayed this, we'd be using it as evidence that Iran's leaders are extremist lunatics.
Pete Hegseth, at today's Christian Prayer and Worship Service at the Pentagon, prays for Almighty God to "pour out your wrath" and "break the teeth of the ungodly." He begs the Almighty to sanction "overwhelming violence" against "those who deserve no mercy."

Eight minutes. That’s the length of President Trump’s video announcing his war with Iran. He didn’t go to Congress. He didn’t obtain a U.N. Security Council resolution. Instead, he did perhaps the most monarchical thing he’s done in a monarchical second term: He simply ordered America into war.

Sen. Ossoff Statement on Iran.
“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program.
 
“Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran.
 
“Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress.
 
“I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace.
 
“The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort.
 
“I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”
