The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

For crying out fricken’ loud.
Kennedy's action comes at a time when many adherents of his Make America Healthy Again movement have adopted regular sun exposure as a core principle of wellness, with social media influencers encouraging followers to abandon sunscreen and build up their "solar callus," or sun tolerance, instead.

The trend has frustrated many dermatologists, who warn that the damage of frequent sunburns and tans accumulates over a lifetime, and those acquired early in life appear to play a disproportionate role in later risk of skin cancer.

The Skin Cancer Foundation notes also that you cannot build up a tolerance to sun exposure and
"there is no such thing as a 'solar callus."

Here’s my plea to the national security press: don’t report what he announces at face value. You’ve been suckered over and over to cover his fake trade deals and ceasefire “announcements” like they are real. He’s desperate to look like he’s got a plan. Make sure it’s not fake.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

The problem the Trump administration has now is its persistent pattern of lying means that when it mouths the mantra "the agent feared for his life" to justify killing a civilian, people rightly just don't believe it. When you then don't investigate the shoot, people rightly are even more suspect.
