i mean, i don't think it's a mystery NYT

The military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea that the Trump administration says are smuggling drugs is stepping down, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

The officer, Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees all operations in Central and South America, even as the Pentagon has rapidly built up some 10,000 forces in the region in what it says is a major counterdrug and counterterrorism mission.

It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure, and in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career.

Apropos of something, I really don’t understand how anyone looks around in 2025 and decides that the path forward is unanimity on anything, let alone a master plan for a whole country.

If Trump wants to signs an EO on H-1Bs raising "the fee that companies pay to sponsor H1-B applicants to $100,000", we shld be making a play to get companies to set up shop up here to locate that talent.

"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is I don't know." The guy who said that wants to be the guy who says the other side is the side stoking hate and violence.

Don’t celebrate political violence, even if you disagree with the politics.

Trump’s tacit admission last week that he’s lost India and Russia to China and N Korea and now Russia taunting the west with this is really not good.

A terrible assumption made in a lot policy/political punditry is to assess whether some decision or action has achieved an improved outcome in comparaison to the status quo, ignoring that the status quo may have gotten worse in the absence of said decision or action. 🤷‍♂️

The 14 yr old saying “Bruh, you literally got the thousand yard stare. Eat some yogurt” to the 15 yr old as he struggles with his spicy Raman is the best expression of concern/insult combo I’ve seen in a long time.

Rerunning that old (now unfunny) soviet era joke: Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev are on a train. Train stops moving. Stalin: “shoot the engineer!” Train still stuck. NK: “rehabilitate the engineer!” Still stuck. Brezhnev, pulling down the window shades: “Comrades! The train is moving!”

This week, Trump escalated his attack on Brazilian sovereignty. But his efforts could backfire politically, and ultimately on US tech firms that hoped to benefit from his heavy handed tactics, as the Brazilian posture appears to be stiffening, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Laís Martins.

This is all true and it is an important critique because of who it devalues, but also why is the assumption that working 24x7x365 is actually good or a laudable objective?

I mean, if we look closely, spending reviews (of various sizes, scopes, levels of success and names) have been almost constant since Harper. But I agree with the two points, 💯.
