Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

Jack Smith looked the Senate in the eye today: "I will not be silenced." He says his evidence proved criminal conduct beyond a reasonable doubt, and he'd charge Trump again.

The last three months are the warmest on record globally, relative to every other June-July-August period since 1850. Data from NOAA/NCEI's NOAAGlobalTempv6.1.0.
Line graph time series of global land mean surface temperature anomalies for each June-August period from 1850 through 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged for June-August 2026 was 1.21°C for global land areas. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. Data from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.1.0.

The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

1. The thing about Donald Trump is that he's bad at being president. I don't mean tyrannical or fascist or criminal or corrupt. Those adjectives obviously apply, but I mean *just plain bad*.

This broke my heart because it gets to the part of this moment that is hardest to confront. The danger was never just the con man. It was the hunger for what he was selling, and the willingness to sacrifice compassion, decency and other people’s humanity to get it. Read this.
You know what truly breaks my heart?
It's not that America fell for a brilliant con-man. He isn't. And they weren't fooled.
What I find devastating is how many people were absolutely desperate to believe the lies.
How many ached for permission to dress their cruelty in patriotism. How many clung to racist. Homophobic. Transphobic.
Ethnocentric stereotypes. Because they thought the lies were promising them a shortcut to power. A way to profit.
Personally and politically. From the suffering of millions of absolutely innocent people.
The tragedy isn't the con. It's the hunger for it.
The willingness to trade compassion for the cheap thrill of feeling superior. The way hate sells because too many people show up already desperate to buy. —KALEN DION

Seeing a lot of liberal arts majors and pundits who are suddenly constitutional law experts opine on the legality of the next steps in Missouri congressional elections. My advice is to ignore them and maybe pay attention to what the lawyers who actually litigate redistricting cases have to say.

The Trump administration is moving to strip federal protections from millions of acres of wetlands across the country. A new EPA and Army Corps proposal would dramatically narrow which waters qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act. Wetlands aren’t wasted space.

🚨 Ocean temperatures continue to rise. Last month saw the hottest average global sea surface temperature on record for the month of August. Remember, human-caused climate change is the key reason for these new records. Data from NOAA ERSSTv6. I guess next month I will adjust that upper y-axis limit
Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each August from 1900 through 2026. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
