The Constitution makes no specific mention of Signal, the Houthis, The Atlantic, or the Secretary of Defense being drunk at 11:30am. So it's hard to imagine any serious Democrat Party argument for firing Pete Hegseth. by Jonathan Turley

The issue with people like Schumer and Carville is that they refuse to accept that politics is not the same as it was 20 years ago. They refuse to accept they are the remnants of a system that doesn’t exist anymore.

I voted against more chaos. I voted against more cuts. I voted against giving a wannabe king and an unelected billionaire even more power to hurt middle-class Americans. I serve Illinoisans. Republicans made it clear they serve Donald Trump.

People are claiming that META is following JD Vance on Instagram and Facebook from their accounts without their authorization. That’s not true. It’s happening because you were previously following the @ VP handle, which has now been switched to Vance.

The one thing that seems consistent is that the rules and norms folks consistently overvalue shame within people that cannot process nor pay attention to it. In poker it is called fancy play syndrome (FPS) where you do nuanced things but your opponent is playing checkers instead of chess.

people that don't work in gov or gov adjacent jobs love making observances of how it could run better. Unlless you have been working in the system for a while you truly don't understand how to improve it; much like many complex and interdependent systems.

I'm legitimately interested in what will happen to EV infrastructure in the next year or two. Fossil fuel companies diversified and have some heavy investments in non-nuclear, renewable energy now so they have a vested interest in their success instead of lobbying against them like circa 2017
