Please please please stop making a big deal out of the G7 reserves release. Yes, it’s 100 million barrels over 4 months. We - the planet - use 100 million barrels of crude every…single…day. Almost literally a drop in the bucket.

We can be certain that the founders, were keen to avoid religious wars If the international order of today is a response to factors that led to the outbreak of general conflict in Europe (WWI and WWII) the order the founders lived in was a response to horrors of the 30 Years War

To elaborate, for example, I frequently call Ken Paxton a "thug" on Bluesky. Is that defamatory? Of course not. While I firmly believe he is a gotdamn criminal (omg, more defamation?!?), no one reading this could believe I was making a provably false statement of fact.

A fun as this is (for the lawyer$), I doubt calling someone at an ICE protest a "left-wing terrorist" is defamatory. Name-calling rarely is. And in context, no one could reasonably believe that "left-wing terrorist" means something defamatory.

Regarding the individual defendants, the lawsuit is suggesting that they were engaged in a conspiracy against Somali and Hispanic residents of Minnesota (and elsewhere) and Renee Good essentially got murdered in the course of that conspiracy. Bovino's inability to shut is fascist trap plays a role.

Trump rambles for AGES about the White House renovation (802 words total). The interviewer then changes topic, but Trump tries to bring it back to the White House. The Time reporter doesn't engage and moves on McConnell, and Trump just SNAPS: "You haven't asked me one fucking positive question."
You mentioned the Democrats will come after you if they win. Are you considering pardoning members of your administration prior to the end of your term?

Yeah, sure I’d do that. 

Is that something you would consider doing? 

Well, Sleepy Joe Biden, he gave pardons to everyone. [Holds up pictures of White House] They're actually—see, this is the way it looks now.

Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

Trump's "pocket rescission" of $810 million in spending across several agencies, an appropriation Trump himself previously signed into law, is troubling, not because the spending in question is good, but because it strikes at Congress's constitutional power of the purse. [David Ditch, @cato.org]

Trump expressed support for the Iraq war as it started. He later criticized Bush for not stealing oil or doing enough war crimes (namely targeting innocent family members of insurgents). Then he acted on that vision of war with Iran, and it's failing badly. Enough Trump-absolving revisionist BS.

In general there is an inability to recognize that parties to the Gaza war had agency & acted on it. One of the things the Atlantic article makes clear is that Hamas kept backing out of ceasefire agreements because Sinwar believed prolonging the war would drive a wedge in the US/Israeli alliance.
