Reminder that Hegseth's speech calling for more unrestrained violence and gore by the military follows a weekend when two Marine veterans carried out horrific rampage shootings against unarmed members of their communities.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Like plaintiffs' lawyers, I am extremely skeptical about this idea, in part because anyone denied a credible fear interview has a right to appeal to an immigration judge and a right to consult a lawyer prior to that hearing. And they are literally all on a plane together with no privacy.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health - Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

They used to do this covertly, but now that they're trying to make free speech illegal, they have to make it clear. Actual antisemitism won't be policed. Criticism of Israel will be. And considering the age we're in, it's not just that. *All* dissent will be policed. That's what this really is.
