Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Sorry and with respect to the military who are participating, this parade is a costly mistake. Low energy, politicized by Trump, meh crowds, degrading the military it seeks to honor. A dud. But worse because it is intended by Trump to coopt military power to serve his personal goals.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.
